I've been on the lookout for a replacement for my BMW 530D, and have looked at all sorts of cars, wanted something with a good sized engine (>3.0) and needs to be petrol......
Seems to rule out any modern MB apart from the AMG's which return eye watering MPG (for me!)......
Petrol BMW's are rarer than hen's teeth if you want one with good spec......!!
I've seen a very nice, well cared for Audi S6, which seems to tick all the boxes (V8TT), should return around 18 around town, and mid 20's on a good run......But I've been reading that they are prone to turbo failure which can be costly as the likelihood is that they will both fail (costing around 6-7k!!!).
I've been looking at 3rd party warranties, and I was suggested Warranty Direct.....They seem to have good reviews, and are coming in well priced!
I looked at Audi warranty, but they want circa £800 per year for named component warranty.....
That doesn't sound too bad, but i want to minimise cost, as i will be driving the new car only around 3k per annum......Warranty Direct's price is very good for the coverage......
Any input much appreciated
