Broke down, bought a Honda!!!

[Doggiedog]

Assuming the previous owner of the Audi drove normal miles you can say it has about 50K miles on it.

If you are planning to drive 25K miles a year in 2 years the car will have 100K miles. That is a whole lotta miles for a German car. My BMW started falling apart around 75K miles so unless you have alot of cash set aside to fix up your car in the likely chance something breaks, I would stay away from the Audi.

Go with the Audi. I can't stand Hondas.

 

[Kelvrick]

With that many miles, the accord probably gets better gas mileage.

 

[UnoSigmaPi]

I'd would like to say the audi, but i'd go with the newer car.

Buy the Honda or something else. A 2000 Audi with that many miles will cause a ton of problem in the future. Trust me.

audi, dear god!

 

[travlen]

Wow, I wonder how Audi stays in business? All I ever hear is they break down all the time!

Audis need to be maintained properly and they will work well. Frankly I have yet to see any of the Audi's in my family have any serious problems but they are all relativly new (2001 A6 Turbo and a 2004 S4). Plus you get a free 4 year free maintainance warranty included with all Audi's free of charge.

Previous gen. Audis (and VWs) have had horrible electric problems but from what I've seen they are improving 🙂

Fast, only problem is its not mine 🙁. Dad has the A6 and older brother has an S4. I'm stuck with a nice toyota corolla... but that might be chaging soon 😛

 

[travlen]

I would love an S4 but I don't want to pay so much for a car.

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

The A4 would be nice but I don't think I'd use it as a daily driver, it'd be like a weekend fun car for me. If you'll be driving that much I would say definitely go with the honda.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

How long do you want to keep this car?

If it's not long, get the Audi

If you want to keep more than a few years, I'd go with the Honda. The Audi will cost more in upkeep after the warranty is over so keep that in mind.

Have you considered a Mazda 3?

 

[RagingBITCH]

Um, why are you even considering a used Honda Accord? When I bought my 2004 LX I had the option of buying a 2004 EX for about $20.5K before TT&amp;L. That was before haggling or anything, don't know if you're good at that. You could probably snatch up a leftover 04 coupe for under $20, or a 05 for right around $20. Honda or not, I wouldn't want to buy it without having at least some warranty on it.

 

[BurnItDwn]

If I was going to spend more than 15K on a Car, it would not be an A4 or a Honda, however, If I was forced to choose between those two cars, I would go with the Honda,. (as long as it's the 3.0 with leather.)

 

[thomsbrain]

the audi is a cooler car, but a cool car doesn't do you much good when it spends most of it's time in the shop. and a 2003 Accord EX will still be a pretty nice car.

 

[kreb]

Honda...since you're driving 25,000 miles/year (!!!!) :shocked:

 

[travlen]

I'm thinking I should definitely go with the Accord.

Anyone know how to go about getting a brand new 2004 model Accord?

 

[NutBucket]

Go to a dealer?

 

[frankie38]

honda, audi is a pos.

 

[SZLiao214]

Im hoping to grab a 2003 accord EX next year as my college/work car. Just needs to be the right price by then 🙂

 

[StageLeft]

Audi, if you like car repairs. Honda, if you do not. Maintenance on that audi is a bitch, comparitively.

I am 23 years old and drive about 25000 miles per year.

Either car would be manual transmission.

Vote and then post why.

Thanks,
Travis

if you want your car to last, get a Honda

 

[tami]

audis are so sexy. but i don't know much about cars besides their looks 😛

 

[SuperTool]

Get a brand new Accord. no point gettind used, since they don't depreciate that much.
