So I am faced with a slight dilemma.
As much as some people think owning multiple cars would be awesome, I assure you it is not. Insurance companies love me. NYS loves me. Those are the two things I do not care to be loved by. I have two cars I consider ‘daily drivers’: The Subaru, and the Audi. The Subaru is fun to drive, prolly the funnest of the bunch. It’s a bit modified, handles pretty swell, and is semi-comfortable to drive (given the roads are smooth.) The Audi, well, it’s interesting. I had to disconnect the switch for the sunroof because it would randomly pop up. I bought a new (to me, at least) driver’s seat switch because the old one had all functions except moving back. I replaced it and now the seat does not raise or lower. POS.
So I’m thinking of consolidating these two cars into one.
I’d try selling them both outright, but if worse comes to worse, sell parts off of the LGT and the buyers of said parts would give me their stock pieces, although I still have most bits I believe. Then I’d trade it in.
I’d need a comfortable daily driver. I’d prolly lease it in my business name, and write off the payments/taxes. I’ve been thinking about an A3 TDI or possibly a 335D (but not really wanting RWD for a year round daily). What do you guys think of a new, comfortable and still pretty fun to drive daily driver?
There’s several other options out there, I just don’t know what to think. Given how most turbocharged Subaru’s are, the LGT gets pretty shitty MPG. According to the infometer (which is programmed for the stock injectors, mind you) I get 44MPG on average. According to me, I’m the coolest guy in the world. So yea, things can often be wrong. Doing the math, I get around 19-22MPG. So almost anything I get can get better gas mileage.
Throw out some recommendations for me, please.
It won’t be happening until spring most likely. Though, I may start trying to sell the Subaru now. Or maybe parting it out. I’m confuzzled.
GMC 3500 crew cab 4wd dually w/ Duramx and Allison gearbox…trust me I’m NOT a truck guy and I LOVE LOVE LOVE driving the hauler around :bowdown
On a more “cossey” type approach…M45x. Doesn’t get much better for a moderatly cheap, stupid comfortable daily driver and it’s AWD to boot. Autostick for those days when you might want a tab bit more fun on the drive, and AC cooled seats too FTMFW.
i think a truck might be a great idea considering your non-daily drivers. and trucks are fun to daily. when u barrel up the fast lane at 85 in a 2500 everyone moves over.
sell Ur S4, and LGT, buy this http://www.audiusa.com/us/brand/en/models/q7.html they have a TDi version too which would be absolutely baller. comfortable as fuck, AWD… cant really beat it given the other cars in your garage…just sayin… plus justin/brew could hook u up.
idk your price range, but a range rover sport would be dope… i know its my dream car :lol
or if your looking to stay with a car, some said a m45x, that would be my input as well
If you’re trying to save on ins and reg fees, trading two cheap cars not worth much for one expensive car is probably going to cost you money, not save you money.
