Hey scotty I'm looking to buy either a audi A5 from 2022 or 2018 (for the manual transmission) are there any things that you would say to make me swing one way or the other?
Must it only be a German luxury barge?
We don’t recommend buying German vehicles, only lease them. The thing about German vehicles people keep forgetting about is it’s not just the powertrain you need to focus on but all the electronics on board. Did you know some German vehicles have over 100 computer modules on board?! It’s a matter of time before they act up or go haywire on you, and then good luck getting it fixed - for complex problems you will have to take to a special shop that works on those vehicles or the dealer and they will charge an arm and a leg. The smart way to own those modern complex German vehicles is to lease them under warranty. That way if anything breaks, it’s on Audi’s dime.
