Hey everyone- I am a long-time VW owner, but looking to move 'up'. I'm having a hard time deciding which model to buy. The ones on my list are:

TT 225 Roadster
A6 2.7T Sport
B5 S4
B6 A4

I know that these are all much different cars, and I like each one for different reasons. I'm looking to spend from $17K - $25K, and I've found examples of each of these within that range. I don't mind a little higher mileage (60-80K), as I really don't drive that much. I also wouldn't mind finding something that already has some modifications. Any input from other members that might help me here?

Welcome to the forums. You'll get a lot more responses posting this in one of the vehicle specific sections. I'll give it a shot though.

Maintenace- What can you afford? the B5 S4 and the 2.7t A6 will have higher maintenance. The B6 A4 and the TT should be about the same to maintain.
Performance- The TT225 and the B5 S4 have the highest overall tuning potential. Depending on what you want.
Resale value- Not sure on this one, but you may want to look into it.

Once you maje a decision on what car you're looking for, let us know and we can help you avoid some of the problems associated with each model.

 

Hey welcome to the forums. I'd probably go for the B6 myself.
