Advice on Selling and Replacing an Audi A3 1.6 SE - runningchick
My lovely little Audi A3 1.6 has to go and I'm very upset. I'm looking for some advice on how to sell it though and wonder if anyone can help!

It's a 2007/56, 1.6 Special Edition 3dr in metallic black, which I've owned since new (one lady owner cliche). It's only done 15k because I have been working away from home and soon realised that you can't drive 2000 miles a month in a petrol car!

First things - how would anyone think of selling it? I'd ideally sell privately and looking on the t'internet they seem to be in the region of the £10k + band (???)

Secondly - replacement car. I'd really really really like another A3 but this time probably a 1.9 Tdie. Any other recomendations?

Thanks

Running Chick

Lots of useful info there - but you need to specify your budget for the replacement car so that responders know what is within your range.

Have you worked out how much it will actaully cost you in fuel over a diesel?

The cost to change a car is considerable. Likewise as you have had the car from new, you know how it has been treated and you will never know that if you buy a secondhand car to replace it.

Assuming the petrol gets 35MPG and a diesel 48MPG, fuel at £4.60/gallon (but diesel may well go up more than petrol in the winter months) and 24k pa, the cost in fuel is about £850 a year extra for the petrol car. Not a huge amount in the scheme of replacing a car
