I was hoping there might be someone out there who may be able to guide me re my undecided descion. I own a VW Golf gti 1.8 turbo, red, 5 door, 5 speed manual,2003, done 40,000km. I love e46 beamers. I have found one that a VW dealer is selling. It is a 1999 318i, 5 speed manual, 5 door,black, done 16,000 km. I have spoken to the previous owner, & he informs me the car is original condition & mileage. It was the wifs shopping basket with city mileage only. The dealer is willing to swap my golf for the beamer with me paying $500.00 trade. No warranty with the vehicle, so I would purchase a 3 year full mechanical warranty for $1,000.00. Both of these cars "retail" on the lot for approx 30grand. For one not knowing much about beamers but love them, am I being rather silly going back to a 6 year old car when I have a 2 year old car with one year warranty left on it???? My car when new was $40,000.00. The beamer when new was $70,000.00. The beamer is almost like new but 6 years young, with mine being 2 years young with more mileage. I realize this is eventually my descision, but I am trying to justify the situation with someone who has had a lot to do with e46 series bmw's. I personally feel there would be a lot of years of reliable enjyable driving left in the Beamer. Would you all out there unconfuse me & make up my procrastinating mind please, or just confuse me some more???? Thank you, for your future urgent response, before some one else buys it instead. IT IS OKAY FOLKS. 21 OF YOU LOOKED AT MY TOPIC & PROCRASTINATED LIKE I HAVE SO I HAVE DECIDED TO STICK WITH THE BETTER CAR =====THE GOLFGTI. THANK YOU FOR YOUR NON INPUT ANYWAY. DRIVE CAREFULLY.
