Guys and girls of e90 i need your help

As you know i need to sell the 335d as new house forces sale

So i have sorted my new (to me) van landrover defender 90 td5 hard top in white, but i need a car for the miswah and sprogs.

So am open to anything as long as:

Its big enough for me,mrs,2 kids(seats) pram etc,etc

budget is only £8000 but rather only go to £6,500-7,000 as its only a stopgap car for a year or two.

Dosent need to be a denzil as we only do about 4-6000 miles a year

Id like a nice sound track but isnt a must (is it)

Only thing i have seen at the moment that i quite like is a 2001 audi s6 in silver with black leather recaros satnav and a nice 4.2 v8 under the hood
but at £7,995 and 85,000 on the clock am i mad any one had,drove one of these before?

Really appreciate your input

Lee

PS. Love the idea of the S6!

[Palmnuts]

Given your criteria 335DPOWER, I reckon the S6 is a good and nicely individual call!

85k miles is hardly intergalactic mileage for such a car if the condition and history are right and you'll have some fun for not a lot of cash. Also, they may not be known as the most involving car out there but let's be honest, driving wise, it's hardly going to be a shitter is it?? More likely it'll be a fantastic car for daily use. Go for it I say!

Engine and box will be fine with 85k, but wheel bearings, lower arms and bushes start to get a little tired.

Carlose there is one the same age slightly lower spec ie no nav and only half leather seats,not heated but has only 55,000 on the clock would this be a better buy.

The only thing is it comes out at £8,995 which is £995 over budget £500 if I can get them down to £8,500 is it worth the extra dolong

Thanks mr nuts

The more I look at them the more I want one
I know it will not be as good (no where near) as the 35d but for what I will use it for the size and that v8 ruuummmmbllle it will do until the bank allows me to get a nice new car again.

And on a side note we only do about 50-100 miles a week and the reviews seem pretty good so it all looks well

P.s they don’t look to slouchy either and the funny thing is my old man looked at a brand new one in 2001 at £49,000 I will be getting the same car although cough 9 years old for £7,000

I'm not so sure....you obviously need to appreciate it's an older design but Audi's are very well made (better than your 335d I'm sure). Once you accept this I would be surprised if you thought it was nowhere near as good. Different, yes. Inferior? Go drive one and let us know what you think!
