75,000 miles on a vehicle going on 12 years old I consider excellent and way below average, however here are some pointers to consider.

(1) The technology in an Audi rates near the top with me, it's a fine machine, however should the vehicle have mechanical issues down the road you better have a deep valet

(2) I don't know your province of residence to be able to calculate the exact taxes, but I will assume you will be looking at over $9000. (CDN) on the road, and that with me don't sit well with most vehicle's going on 12 years old.

(3) The average vehicle depreciate approx $2500. a year from being one model year old till six, that means if you can drive this vehicle for about 4 years without major issues your investment will have been secured " something to ponder on "

If you have the time to spare here are some steps I recommend should you persue the transaction, read the following links on my website in order.

1... The Test Drive
2... Take to Mechanic
3... Trade In
4...Negotiate

Good luck

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles per year.
Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a year.
That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud to be an American.



Who are the real scammers if you think Dealers and Salespeople - think again
