    Hard to imagine a guy spending 100 grand on a new car would be the one cleaning it.

  Disco sports is the replacement for the freelander, which is more in the q5 class. I don't know your preferences for options but as this is ozbargain, I'm leaning towards the q7 because it's one class up for similar money. Plus, if you're paying a lot for options you generally don't see that money again when it comes to selling time.

    I was completely thinking the opposite. I thought the resale value may also depend on all those EXTRA options too.

      The added options will likely make it easier to sell if the car's not too old but you don't recover the added cost of those options.

      If the car is older, some options can scare off a buyer as it's something else to go wrong. No big deal if it's swinging air vents, but things like air suspension will be an issue as the car ages.

  how long do you want to keep the car?

•

  At least 10 year

    in that case avoid the Audi. Was told by a car wholesaler recently who deals in luxury cars that once Audi's loose their warranty period then they develop issues that are very expensive to repair in AU.

      Normally I'd agree with you.

      But in this case it is up against a Land Rover, which itself has a notorious reputation for longevity. So the odds aren't very high either way.

      Compared to LR servicing, Audi servicing may actually be more affordable.

        Agreed, Land Rover is not much better.

  Hmm, now you guys made me worry. Can't really digest that "prestigious" car may not survive beyond their warranty period.

    Prestigious does not always equal quality. At your price range, and if you want to keep it a long time, get a Lexus.

  I think an Audi for 10 years should be fine with maybe one or two issues, however if you're unlucky it will cost you a fortune to fix.

  I wouldn't buy a Q7 today, I'd wait for the new model coming next year.

  I'd buy a VW Touareg instead… basically same car. http://www.caradvice.com.au/331516/2015-volkswagen-touareg-p…

  I'm an European car fan and am happy to trade off some reliability issues for their driving dynamics.

  If you don't really care about cars and wish to keep it for 10 years, then I'd recommend the Toyota Prado or Kia Sorento. The Kia has a 7 year warranty.
