lol my living situation changed and I need to buy a house, and houses are expensive and I need money for a down payment. I love the car to death but I can’t have a car loan and a truck loan with my income and expect to get a mortgage so something has to go. I may keep either the S4 or my touareg but it would be a better financial decision to sell everything and buy a beater to rock out for a while so I can put as much down on the house as possible.

after driving a S55 justin has I am definitely turned onto the AMG product line so maybe I ill pick one up in a few years once I know how my money situation looks after i get settled in.

Touareg might be more useful if you get a house…however the S4 seems like more fun.

Throwing it into some POS 7 year old car, which is going to dwindle in value, cost you thousands to maintain and you’re going to have to pay 7% interest on, sounds like a horrible idea…but what do I know?

Just PM me next time you want advice. You can do it before or after you sell the A8L for thousands less. Whichever you prefer. \<3

Call me old man, but I’m driving a 7500 dollar 32k mile grand marquis, and I own two houses… Working on a third.

Never would I sink money into a euro boat that probably costs me at least $1000 every time I lift the hood.

The maintenance on a 08 marquis has been maybe 300 dollars in the past year, and I have been taking it to the dealer because I don’t give a shit.

I am glad your ego is so massive I don’t know what I would do without you. If you are interested a HUGE reason I bought this car is that I have fucking amazing credit and I got 1.75% on loan for a 05 audi. At a rate that low it was REALLY difficult for me to pass up this purchase. I wanted to know what it was like to drive a 12 cylinder vehicle. Now I know, and I like it a lot. I will finally finish that stupid project with a yamaha engine that I have been working on forever so that will replace my need for something outlandish. replace 4600lb boat with turbo 2800lb rear drive pos.

I have done quite a bit of research on the merks and I don’t think I would get into one without a warranty which brings them out of my price range for the time being. I will probably end up with my camaro to play with and something diesel to be sensible for a little while. Probably a newer jetta or if I can’t get what I want for the touareg I will probably keep it and drive it into the ground. It has been so good to me I hate the though of selling it.

edit: not that it matters but I am only into my W12 for $52 in repairs so far, although it does need brake pads so I will be upto $152 in a couple weeks. I guess I am a little bit away from your $1000 estimate for now.

With a740 credit rating you could have a 1.49 loan throughppenned, but even so I don’t think that alone would warrant a purchase. Not for me at least. unless I really wanted said car.

What you can afford a 80K car? Don’t worry buy one that is 10 years old with over 100k.

When the bank says you’re approved up to XXX,XXX amount for a home loan you might want to consider not taking out the max 🙂

That is solid advice. Why does everyone assume I need advice with how to plan my financial future?

Just a guess but you have a S4/A8/Touareg have car payments on two and want to sell everything to buy your first house?

I was looking at a used S65 because they lose half their value in about 12 seconds but then I was told there is a $10,000 maintenance at like 75,000 miles. lol
