Hi all,
I’m looking into buying a Q5 and have a budget up to £18k (possibly £20k at a stretch). Based on my budget a lot of the cars I’m finding are from around 2009/10, or 2012ish models with about 80K miles.
I’ve found two models that I’m interested in, both 2009, but I’m having a dilemma about which is the better option. One is an SE with a pan roof as an added extra, 45k miles for £15.5k. The other option is an S-Line with pretty much every extra there is, 94k miles for £18k. Both have had 1 or 2 owners and the listings state FSH.
Normally I’d avoid high the 94k model as I’d see that as high mileage, but reading some of the comments on here that’s not too high a mileage. Are there any views on that and should I expect a big hit on the re-sale value due to it being around 100k?
Any advice on things I should look out for would be much appreciated.
