Agreed, lots of those are basic motors with very little which could go wrong in the first place. I understand that any complex car will develop complex issues over time, just always loved the styling and drive of the X6 after driving one a few years back, don't feel the Audi Q range really competes with BMW's X range.
Maybe I'll look into A7's or a Jag XF or something similar

Maybe go back to leasing if you wanna be a baller on a budget

Christ, cars are cheap in the UK.

Don't think A7's count as balling on a budget? Just keeping options open

Could get a 330 or 335d for that

Sounds like you have your heart set on an X6 so just go for that, quick look on autotrader shows plenty of examples with 60-70k mileage for 16 - 18k (asking price before you negotiate).
You'll deffo want to set aside 3 or 4k just in case anything major goes wrong as this money only gets you an 8 or 9 year old motor

You can get a bit older X6 in the UK for that price? Just test drove one back here, 2011 xDrive40d with 90k mileage at €70k…

List price on a new x6 40d is only £62k (before options)…

any tips on the best leasing companies?
need a 7 seater for good price
probably going for the disco sport with few extras
prices quoted vary massively online

I used green light vehicle solutions for my last A6, sorted me a great deal on an A6 SE Ultra 2.0 TDi for £245 a month with 6 down. If not, V4B is another good provider
much appreciated

Why would someone get a car loan (15% APR) instead of a personal loan (3% APR)?
Is it just people who can't get unsecured finance?
23 Aug 2017 14:43
I think so. Never understood why people would bother otherwise. Banks will charge next to nothing to lend at the moment and people still get finance. Amigo Loan tried it for £7k interest on an £11k loan the other day

Are fuel stabilizers for winter storage snake oil?
Can't imagine that some high octane ethanol free dinosaur juice wouldn't suffice.
