Would you get a car from an auto auction?

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Me personally, I'd go for the Audi.

Have you ever had a 10 year old Audi?

nope, lol

But all the choices are from around the same age, so given those, I'd prolly pick the Audi

Hubby wants to pimp around in the Audi A4, I say the civic is better. Whose side are you on?

Stay away from that '97 Audi. The only thing you'll be pimping is the local dealership's or exotic repair shop's bottom line.

I own a 'fine German engineered' car. Fun to drive but also unreliable and expensive to repair.

Lately, it seems auctions have tons of bidders and the prices go up to mkt value, so I hope you'll be able to get one at a great price!

Me personally, I'd go for the Audi.

I'd be willing to bet good money that the Audi will have $1000+ in repairs within the next year. German cars are well known as mechanical nightmares.

The fact that you never had a 10 year old Audi explains your choice.

Life lessons that you really remember are the ones that come the hardest, eh?

I don't even know what kind of Audi that is btw, but my friend has a TT and that's pretty cool, lol

You are right on the repairs. $1,000.00 is a low estimate, in fact. That said, German cars became a nightmare only recently (over the course of the past 10-15 years) with the introductions of all the various bells and whistles. I remember having driven old VW's (my first one was about as old as I at the time ~ 23 years) in the past that were very well built and very reliable. My last Audi was so bad, I ditched it after 1.5 years and promised myself never, ever to own one again.

I'm with you on this one! I've had 2 Fords in my lifetime. Yes, they were "built to last"...until the next couple of blocks down the street before they died! I'm very partial to Toyota. My Sequoias and Tacomas do great! I'm never at the shop but for the routine maintenance stuff! Never anything major. Toyota! Oh, what a feeling!

Just a small follow up. I guess everyone was right to skip the Audi. I ran the carfax, and it came up with 35 reports! From accidents, to salvage title, to several owners. I guess its the rice racer we shall chose.

Thanks everyone for your feedback!

My hubby owns a 4x4 Tacoma. Says it is his dream truck.
