Default i have a problem.....

This weekend I totalled my A4. It's was a 99.5 2.8QMS. I loved that car more then anything. Well here is my problem. I def. want another A4, but I think I want a 2002. But they don't come out till october. What can i do in the mean time? Don't to buy something that I'm not going to want in a year.

Default You'd have to go for a 2002 1.8t as well. The 3.0L's have been delayed.

You could buy a beater in the mean time and then sell it - you wouldn't lose too much cash on it.

Personally, I'm happy I get the first generation car. I'm warming to the exterior styling of the new A4, but the interior definitely sucks compared to the current one.

Default Buy a beater...

Keep it for six months, or however long you require, and sell it when the new car arrives. You'll lose a minimal amount of money, and if you're careful (buy a car that holds its resale very well), you may even be able to clean it up and sell it for more than you paid.
