    Others are wasting your time? Thats nice....

    £15,000 on a 4 year old AUDI? Errr they sell for 1/2 to 2/3rds of that figure. Spec / Mileage etc.

    Guides on the Kindle are they all US guides?

    Looking at 10-plate BMW 320d MSport or A4 TDi S-Line mileage around 30-40,000 so probably a little more on the price than the standard models hence mentioning upto £15000.

    I think you are right about the Kindle guides the first one I downloaded was Confessions of a Sales Manager, only because it was cheap but utterly useless to me and yes designed for Americans.

    There is a book by Mike Brewer but have never liked these TV know-it-alls much and it isn't cheap either!

    There's one called All Buyers are Liars lol (without the lol that was me) which made me laugh at the title but haven't read it or purchased it as I could end up spending a small fortune just on Amazon!! :rotfl:

    What mileage do you do? Also mainly motorways or short trips?

    About 40 miles per day 5 days a week plus a bit at the weekend. It is mainly a motorway drive to work so I think petrol is probably not an option. And I'm looking at keeping it for minimum of 2 years but no longer than 4.

    Wonder if another new member will recommend a new fantastic website that contains everything you need.

    I think I have already dealt with this here.
