Okay so I'm on the search for an A4 sline Avant (auto), as your aware they do hold their value as they are relatively reliable. My question is do I buy a newer car (2012/13) with higher mileage (130k ish) or an older car (2008/09) with lower mileage. Obviously service history would be checked, cam belt etc. If they were both looked after which one would you go for?

...buying an A4 Avant sline as I need an estate and it's gorgeous

Less miles for me unless the newer car has had the suspension refreshed & a new clutch fitted then I'd be buying an older car with less miles.
