Finding a new ride sucks.

What mpg were you getting with your expy? I am in the market for one. I saw someone say crv but that is too small. How about a honda pilot? They say it gets 16-22 mpg.

I was getting 14-16. Its sold now

My 1999 tahoe could be had for the right price. I need something with some better gas mileage.

I have a buddy that just sold an '07 VW Touareg V-10 diesel for $15k. fully loaded, every option and only 100k miles\. He was offered 14k for a trade and sold it in 2 days on craigslist.

I have a touareg also and love it, would suggest looking for something like that. the V-10 real world mileage is about 24mpg


my previos car was an audi allroad. it's a crossover , part station wagon, part suv. Has HUGE interior room, adjustable susspension so easier for your mother in law to get in and out. An they can be had for under 10k now (they were 50k new). If audi was still importing the a6 version, I would have bought another

Having owned a toureg and an all road I can say those are 2 vehicles I would never wish on anyone. I'm not getting into details on my experiences. They are both amazing vehicles but cost of ownership, known problems and the amount of time they spent in the shop there are many better options.

I hear nothing but good things about the older 4-runners. However, my wife and I haven't owned anything other than Cherokee/Grand Cherokee's since 1990 so I'm not sure I'd know how to drive anything else...my current one has 200K miles on it.

From my experience, owning really any german car, or euro car for that matter is an expensive proposition. They break like any other car, and when they do, it costs. The last shop I worked at, we had one euro specialist. Just the money made off the euro stuff could keep the doors open. They may be fine when brand new, but when you get some miles on them, look out. There is a reason for low resale value. I saw a sad situation pan out constantly, with GIs buying used BMW 7 series cars cheap with their combat pay, only to get when they get their first repair estimate. Tmleader has a lot more experience in euros than I, and he can give a lot more incite into them than I could ever dream of, but from my experience, run away,lol.

Wish I had known about that sale. I would love a V10 diesel. Though the v6 ain't too bad either.

I wouldn't personally own a gas VAG, diesel all the way. Less maintenance cost for some reason.
