Buy now or wait a while????

Hi all, I am looking to move my mk5 golf Gti on in the near future and have been looking at a e90 320d or 330d saloon, around 2006 or 2007. Now I have seen the adverts for the new 3 series coming out and was wondering would it be worth m e waiting a few months until the new 3 series is out as the e90 would be the old model and maybe the prices will drop a little lower than they are now??? I am not saying they are overpriced, just thinking of the ££££'s Lol

Also, I am leaning towards the 330d as I think i would miss the Gti power in a 320d, is the 330d a decent engine and what kind of mpg figures would I be getting?? Can't be as bad as the 28mpg I am getting in my Gti.

Last question, what year did the 325d come out?? I see they are around the 200bhp mark, are they a 2 litre or a lower powered 3.0 litre??

Prices will fall, but not for a good year or so.

325d is a 6cyl, was a 2.5 litre and then became the 3.0 litre detuned, was also available in two tunes as a 3 litre.

Have a look on www.realoem.com to work out dates of change etc.

The later 3 litre 325d can be tuned to around 280bhp if that is your thing, the earlier one around 245bhp.

Thanks, I might take the plunge when I find something that I like, want nav, leather, 18's and m sport.

I won't be goin down the tuning road, I would just leave it standard.

Will have to try and test drive a 330d and a 325d to see what I think. Would there be much difference in mpg figures??

I would seriously consider a 330i at that age if I were you. Much more reliable than any of the diesels and a lot more economical than you'd ever beleive.
