So basicly after leasing a car for the last few months i decided its time to buy one .
Due to the nature of my business i find mysellf needing more and more space in the boot.
So due to the quite cheap prices of the Audi im thinkin of spending roughly 7k one a estate .
My question is , which one i should buy ?

Im thinking of a petrol as they seem alot cheeaper than diesels, im planing on doing an LPG conversion which would cut those bills even after i pay for the conversion. I been quouted £1500 for the 1.8.
I normally do 20k+ a year and also have a dog that needs walking and the park is 1 mile away

I think ill buy privetly , just to try and save a bit of money but dealers seem to match if not beat the private salers for some reason im not aware of.

Any views on what to look out for when buying would be very welcomed too

Thanks Mike

Depends on how many miles a year you do. An Allroad would be perfect for my job going up and down farm tracks, but far too thirsty.

Right, well...

My company pays petrol at a rate based on 30mpg, and diesel on 40mpg. We can them claim the inland revenue tax relief. So any small engined petrol or diesel A4 is generally OK but I have steered clear of the 2.5 TDi V6 and any of the larger petrols. But, as you say, an LPG conversion might be a goer - had thought of this but wasn't sure about the system to get.
