I need help for a new car !
Hi guys,
I need your help as I want/need to change cars but I don't know what to do...
Here's some background.
I work 50kms from home (100kms per day), of which 35 kms are highways (30 minutes) and 15 kms are the center of Geneva (30 minutes as well).
At the moment I have 2 cars, an Abarth 500 (2010) and a 997 CS (2007).
I use the Abarth from November to March almost every day, and then I share the week between the Abarth and the 997.
Obviously, the Abarth is painful on the highway, it's too noisy, and it's really uncomfortable in the city.
Moreover, I have to go to the gas station every 3 days to fill it up.
On the other hand, I don't want to drive the 997 30.000kms per year, it's far too much and I'm scared about the resale value (it is not leased).
So... I thought about options, and one of them is selling the 2 cars and buying only one that can do it all (for ~80-90k€).
The requirements are
1. Powerfull and fun
2. Can drive all year long (including snow)
3. Can go to the supermarket (boot big enough)
4. 4 seaters
5. Not too big
Then I thought maybe I can go to work with the bus (painful) during the few occasions when it snows...
So far, the selection is :-)
1. New Audi RS4 (new): addresses all 5 requirements (not sure about the fun one though), and I could lease it as it would be new (no resale value issue)
2. Maserati Gran Turismo S (used): the sound only would make it fun, the only problem here is the snow, and the resale value (no interesting leasing on used cars)
3. 997 Mk2 Carrera 4S (used): addresses all 5 requirements (almost...), but as for the Maserati, there's no interesting leasing on used cars
Any comments ?
Thx !
Olivier
