Should I buy a 2006 Touareg V10 TDI or a 2009 Audi Q7 V6 TDI?

I am buying a new car and do not know which one to get. I want a diesel because they are better than regular gas engines. I have seen both interiors and they are both extremely nice. The Audi is a better looking car, but the VW is a much faster car. I don't know which to get.Should I buy a 2006 Touareg V10 TDI or a 2009 Audi Q7 V6 TDI?Before you buy either one - -



Call the dealer service dept - ask them how much a brake job costs on a Touareg... You will be shocked.



Those things plummet in value too - I would wave off if I were you.Should I buy a 2006 Touareg V10 TDI or a 2009 Audi Q7 V6 TDI?VW/Audi are the same company, both made in germany

thinking about long term ? buy a Lexus or Acura !Should I buy a 2006 Touareg V10 TDI or a 2009 Audi Q7 V6 TDI?If you have a medical question, ask a doctor, if its personal, ask a caring parent. If its cars, ask someone who works on a variety of vehicles--not just one make or someone who has only had 5-10 vehicles in their life. I see all sorts of vehicles in my auto repair shops with all sorts of different problems. Some are design oriented, some are because people just dont take care of their own vehicles. There are a lot of changes before you in the future transportation wise, especially with the mfgs reorganizing or going out of business, electric hybrids, and some going in or out of businss. When you are about to get into the vehicle market ask to speak to some of the service managers off to the side where they can give you some personal attention to their answers to you. Donot go to dealerships or biased sales market businesses. Go to independant, but large volumn car repair facilities and find those service managers. Ask them these questions: maintenance expenses, common failures, complaints by owners of the vehicle, you know their experiences for those available cars on the market. Remeber though, we dont usually see vehicles start to come into our shops for repairs and maintenances until they are about three years old as the dealership will have warrenties and programs for the new owners to take advantage of. Another tip: I personally have found the consumer reports advertised to be biased, or totally incorrect to what we actually see comming into our shops and getting repaired. Go with an authentic experienced view on your future vehicle decision.

Today the most reliable vehicle combined with least demanded maintenance....and price competitive parts when repairs have to be made would be in this order: Toyota, General Motors, Nissan, Honda, Ford...

Not everyone will agree with me but this is MY answer through MY experiences alone, everyone will have their own which I can appreciate.

A good first or any car for that matter, would be most any brand which has been historically well maintained--this is more important believe it or not than the brand you end up getting.

Good luck with your quest, and I hope this helps arm you with an experienced advantage deciding the vehicle best for you at the time you are shoping for your transportation.
