              @thestig: "Investing isn't everything in life." You'll find that most people who spend big get sick of it very quickly and find that they are comfortable with just "average" things. Some people take longer to come to this realisation than others (i.e. for some it's towards the end of their life, for others it's much earlier). My father was one who found out this very early in life, since he had a fortunate upbringing and had very nice cars and a house in Toorak by the time he was in his 20s. Your description of the person you know sums up my dad quite well, actually.

          Funny that the stig talks about investment…

          I was like that up until about a year ago, driving a crap car, investing in houses/investment properties, etc. Some personal events happened in the last year, after which I started to learn about what you just said: "Investing isn't everything in life".

          Hence I am considering a big purchase that is not a house now.

          • AussieZed on 10/06/2020 - 14:16

            @Donkeyface: Spending like you're going to drop dead at 50 is silly because few people die at 50. You have to assume that you'll live until at least 90 these days. Also, if you have descendents, you want to leave them something when you go, regardless of what age that may be. You also seem to think, for some reason, that spending money equals happiness. A person can be entirely content/happy living a minimal existence. Only people who are concerned with keeping up with others generally spend lots of money on material things. Spending large amounts of money just for the sake of spending is silly, buying an expensive car just because you can "afford it", generally makes no sense unless you're a car enthusiast or cars are your passion. In that case, then yes go out and spend 100k or 200k, because that's something that makes you happy. But someone who loves cars doesn't go and buy an Audi Q7.

              @AussieZed: I think you are giving a piece of good general advice to everyone, me included. I would give the same advice to others as well.

              You could refer to my reply a few threads above of a brief situation I'm in.

              I have no plan to take finance on the car. So instead of buying a car, I might consider buying another investment property or some shares for the long term, and I consider I have already had a good amount of both things right now and well on my plan for retirement in 20 years time.

              I guess what I am trying to say is that I start to understand I need to live a little more. For example, driving a 4wd up the mountain this snow season in comfort, instead of the old hatchback, in which the gears nearly fit.

        • netjock on 10/06/2020 - 14:14

          He dropped dead at 50

          One parson is hardly statistically significant. For the other 9 people who live until 85yo with hardly any super because they bought a Q7 at 30 for $85k rather than a $45k SUV. I'd say the suffering of the other 9 is the hidden poverty story.

            @netjock: And guess what, I bet the relatives or children of that person who died at 50 were thankful that he had so much saved up, because they would have received a handsome inheritance. Had he spent it all, they'd have got far less.

            @netjock: So you're saying there is nobody on Ozbargain who can possibly afford to buy this car and still have enough super to live comfortably so people should tell everyone that they should not be buying this car?

            • netjock on 10/06/2020 - 14:27

              @thestig: Nope. I am not saying that nobody can afford it. I am saying the price different to another car would make a difference to some people and we never know.

              Also dying at 50 is unlikely for majority of people and so is having multi millions for most people. Therefore small amounts might matter more between a basic vs comfortable retirement.

              It is good conversation / advice. People can read what they want. If they are making $40k and want to buy an $80k car I am not concerned. Just good conversation / advice to have people think of the whole picture.

        One of my best mates is a multi-millionairre, owns boats and houses in a couple of countries. Daily driver is a clapped out old Toyota ute that he bought off a tradie for peanuts. Outwardly, looks like the stereotypical frugal chap. Reality is though that he owns a factory in Moorabbin to store his sports car collection. He goes to the Vegas auctions and imports sports cars that he either keeps in the underground garage at this Beach Rd house or rotates to and from his storage factory. Outwardly frugal, the ute is handy for transporting things around and he gets around in regular jeans and running shoes but when he wants to drive he has all sorts of ostentatious cars like Ferrari, Lotus and TVRs etc

          • 2ndeffort on 10/06/2020 - 15:28

            @AussieZed: responding to thestig's comment above that quotes: "Don't judge how someone chooses to spend their hard earned coin or assume they are taking on debt, etc because you either don't have the coin or choose to spend it differently" and then "I know someone who never went on holidays, never drove nice cars, never lashed out on anything for himself, lived in a basic house and put every cent into saving deposits and then paying off his mortgages on 5 investment properties. He dropped dead at 50 with 6 properties worth almost $4m, hardly any debt and over $1m in his Super. Investing isn't everything in life" by using an example about another atypical person that I know who has non stereotypical car ownership and who is also very well off.

            • AussieZed on 10/06/2020 - 15:43

              @2ndeffort: I see. That person sounds like someone who has an interest in cars, so it's not really comparable. The majority of the population (I'd say close to 99%) actually have very little to no interest in cars. They couldn't in a million years tell you how many kW their car has, or probably even what country it's built in. These are the types of people who should just buy what they need, and not spend big amounts like this. I mean, if I'm not interested in jewellery, why should I go out and spend thousands on diamonds? It would just make no sense.

    I’d have to agree with the ‘feeing’ factor of an Audi…. or other solid refined ‘luxury’ car….does it make financial sense, not really which is why we replaced our stolen A6 with a MY18 Cr-v being someone else’s problem for 7 years. It’s nice enough, it does the job, roomy, CarPlay etc….and if it has an issue it’s off to Honda to fix instead of me scouting the internet for affordable euro parts to ship from Germany / USA etc.
    iIf you are seriously considering a new 85k car though and want driving luxury and the ‘feel’ most cheaper cars will not compare, Is the feel worth it? Only OP can know. Having 371000k on my beloved and now tatty Land Rover Discovery 3 I’d absolutely buy one again (but also again look for a ‘bargain’ like mine was at 30k in 2008 when she was 3 years old. GFC 1 car sell off deal. A used euro can make sense if your getting out of the nasty new car depreciation cliff and get years of reliable motoring ….if unlucky…. well make sure you source your own parts. Example oil pump for land rover Australian price $1200, or shipped over from the UK for $200 (OEM). Key fob $700 vs $290, wiper blades double because they say LR instead of Bosch (same thing). Do your homework and enjoy the project vs expecting cheap motoring and it’s ok. Stralers could pretty much afford to give you a lux euro car if you agreed to pay their parts and service pricing for the life of the car, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

    • netjock on 10/06/2020 - 12:18

      Can agree. Had a thermostat that cost $60 in the UK. Locally the dealer wanted $300 and it was a 4 week wait for it to go from Germany to Singapore to Oz.

      And of course Lexus.

      I don't think anyone is buying a Q7 because how it drives and feels on the road, I agree that perceived cabin quality, nvh and quiet ride are a thing but to say a Q7 is a driver's car is not the right statement.

    Wife and I have 2 Audi's, a Q5 and a Q7 both with the 3.0 diesel. We bought both used. Here are some thoughts.

    1) They depreciate like crazy. The Q5 is a 2013 and I paid the lady 80K less than she bought it for 5 years earlier. The Q7 was half the price of an equivalent year and km Prado GXL which is how I first got into these.
    2) Audi service is a joke. I get that this includes service but they want over $800 for what is an over-glorified oil change. Needless to say I don't take the cars there ever.
    3) The 3.0 diesel has carbon build-up issues in the air manifold. It doesn't seem to cause any major issues but I suspect on both I'll need to do an expensive clean on them at some point. They often end up with a bit of an intermittent shimmy at idle.
    4) I hate how people treat us. I used to drive a Honda. Nobody cared. I miss that.
    5) They can have little electrical issues. The Q5 hasn't had any yet but when I bought the Q7 I had a few issues I needed to work through.

    They really are nice driving cars. When you compare the Q7 against its rivals for driving it's pretty hard to beat and it can still tow like crazy.

    Would I buy a new one? Never.
    Will I buy another one. Yeah maybe. As a competitor to the Q7 I'll consider a Ford Everest next time.

      "When you compare the Q7 against its rivals for driving it's pretty hard to beat and it can still tow like crazy."

      This is a good point. If towing is ever going to be important to you, then the Q7 blows away other similar vehicles. You need a "proper" 4WD to get anywhere near it.

      Your point about the Prado is interesting but probably understanable. I have a Prado and will have no worries about it doing 400k KMs with basic maintenance and maybe a few minor repairs, also knowing major repairs aren't likely and aren't horrendously expensive if they are needed. I would be getting nervous around 150k with the Q5 I think.

      • nformone on 10/06/2020 - 14:47

        If it was the Q5 2.0 TSI I'd agree that I'd stay away from the Q5 but the 3.0L TDI are regularly are doing 400K+ in Europe. I have 165K on mine right now and it hasn't had a single repair. Just oil, brakes and tires. I'm more worried about little electrical issues popping up though they are generally pretty easy to fix.

        When we bought the Q7 I was pretty determined to buy a Prado. I hired a mechanic to go over the Q7 and we had a discussion about what would have to go wrong to make up the difference in price. We couldn't come with anything so I bought the Q7. That's not knocking the Prado…great car but for what people charge for used you are almost better buying a new one.

        • ocoolio on 10/06/2020 - 19:14

          With the Q7 out of warranty, I would be worried about finding a qualified mechanic to fix the electrical issues (which will come eventually).
          It's just unfortunate that the Ozzy mechanics are rather bad when it comes to the trickier electrical issues.

      I can only comment on the air suspension version. It's very smooth and great on rough roads. We have a 2017 Q7 fully optioned including night vision and 4 wheel steering to name a few. We towed a 3T caravan around the country, around 30-35 thousand kms. It now has 105k on the clock and is a great car. Have taken it to Fraser island and done some other 4w driving. Air suspension is a must for off road because you get better ground clearance if you lift it. One road that we drove, the Mereenie Loop was so rough with corrugations that the axel on our new 3t van fell of. Car never missed a beat.

    Toyota etc are great value, but if you're just looking for a runabout you can't go past a Great Wall. Nobody wants them so they're cheap as chips and very reliable. I got a 2nd hand 3year old 4WD with 60k on the clock for $5k at an auction. Drove it for 5 years, 190,000km, and sold it for $3k.
    That's 2k depreciation, maybe $1.5k in tires, brakes, 1 battery.
    That's $3500 for 5 years of motoring.

    Don't get me wrong, it's a piece of underpowered shit but it's total peace of mind. Don't need to worry about scratches or dents, Just keep changing that oil and it's amazing value. I had always planned to just drive it until it died but that damn thing just wouldn't and I got a sweet deal on something else.

    • inasero on 10/06/2020 - 14:26

      do you have any other basis for the supposed reliability on Great Wall other than your anecdotal experience?

        No, nor could I be bothered to investigate. The only other input I can offer is from a) a mechanic who said he serviced plenty but rarely repaired and b) an RACQ guy who helped me unlock it once who said he very rarely got callouts for them.

        To be clear, I drive gently at all times which no doubt added to its life but even if it had broken down a few times and required new parts….it would still be a value proposition for the right driver.

      Great info. I guess there is still room to negotiate.

        It would be nice to have the 200kw. But at the time it was a little over 10k more which wasn't in our budget. If you can swing it, go 200kw, otherwise the 160kw is perfectly fine. We are really happy, especially just how big it is.

        • Donkeyface on 10/06/2020 - 21:47

          Thanks. I might try some hard bargain, knowing the prices you got! Failing that, maybe the GV80 is worth the wait?

          • porsche26c on 11/06/2020 - 06:26

            @Donkeyface: Our Price was because of the stop sale they had due to a sensor issue. Saw the gv80 in person, looks good. But who knows the cost or release date. Depends how quick you need it.

    I would look at Merc GLS or Lexus LX570 instead of Q7. Audi's are not made to last. Go read up on the reputation of Q7. Not only they are unreliable, the dealer will rip you off while they are at it.

    and in my opinion, Audi's are for the pretentious because 90% of the owners financed the purchase. LOL!

      I see you have never owned one. No finance here LOL

        You are right, I have never owned one. Good on you for paying it outright. Interest rates for cars are outrageous.

        I ended up with a Mercedes, and compared to my mates Q7, I think I am spent way less time and money at the dealership. Not saying it is a great car, but if i have my choice again, I may go for the LX if I can get over the look and ancient interior.

        • Soluble on 10/06/2020 - 19:07

          Under 4% is outrageous?

    • [Deactivated] on 10/06/2020 - 16:19

      Probably because most are through a business for potential tax purposes.

      My friend worked at BMW, and not 1 M3 they sold in the 2 years she was there wasn't through a business.

    How to make a small fortune? Start with a large one and buy a Q7.

  • abdalian on 10/06/2020 - 16:51

    Dealers in Sydney were selling the 200kw model for that price 8 months ago!

  • Miata9 on 10/06/2020 - 17:48

    well be aware of the plastic waterpump in those 2.0t EA888 engines.

    I own a 2015 b8.5 audi a4 2.0t quattro. Expansion tank cracked, Air con not working and waterpump leaking. All happening just before the 5 yr warranty expires. Never again

    • harryzee on 10/06/2020 - 19:30

      It's a 3.0. Wrong engine.

      • Miata9 on 10/06/2020 - 20:42

        yes those 3.0 should be fine.

      One will continue to appreciate and one will immediately depreciate. They are for very different buyers though

  • alienurbanite on 10/06/2020 - 19:00

    Dude, there’s plenty of deals for these cars at the moment if you negotiate.

    Car sales has come to an halt. I’ve recently purchased a “demo” 2018 BMW that retailed for 110k for 55k.

    I enquires in Jan for the same car and they wouldn’t budge under 65k.

    After watching the carsales.com.au notification showing monthly price drops, I went in with a punt 10k lower than my last offer and they took the bait.

    Don’t go anywhere near retail in today’s market.

    Look for where Audi is on the list.

    • harryzee on 10/06/2020 - 19:34

      It's funny how Skoda are second and share many parts and from the same VW family. Go figure. I have both and find them very similar in reliability.

      Scored well here

      https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-advice/how-reliable-will-yo….

      You can always find what you're looking for online.

        Whilst it's true that Skoda have some common VAG parts, you can't tell me that Skoda has all the fancy latest tech from Audi (otherwise the joke will be that Audi is just a fancy Skoda). This is where Skoda cars will be more reliable than its fancier sister Audi. An example being the Q7 3.0 TDI engine. Is there a Skoda running that engine?

        Also did you go deeper into the details of your carsguide article about 4 star rating for Audi?

        The Canstar Blue award that is mentioned in there, I have studied it before, and it's not that great. Here's the page on the formal result:

        https://www.canstarblue.com.au/vehicles/reliability/

        "Best-Rated for New Car Reliability

        If you’re really looking to see where brands were rated in terms of reliability, here is a further breakdown on the results:

        1st Mitsubishi Motors
2nd Toyota
3rd Kia
4th Mazda
5th Suzuki
6th Mercedes
7th Subaru
8th Hyundai
9th Honda
10th Volkswagen
11th Nissan
12th Holden
13th Audi
14th Ford
15th BMW"

        Then the result for the US JD power study which has Audi doing a bit better relatively. However you will find that the result there is for the current "reliability" rating which is based on report in the first 90 days of ownership, not to be confused with JD Power Dependability rating which is after 3 yrs of ownership, where Audi's result is below industry average

    For those that are going to take advantage of this deal. I used to work at Audi and I can assure you Doncaster won't offer the best deal as they are under the Penfolds umbrella. The trick is to go to the Audi dealership owned by the bigger groups like Audi Richmond and Audi Melbourne which are owned by the Zagame group.

    At most you should get a quote from Doncaster and go to Richmond or the city and they'll price beat it.

    Goodluck.
