    Hi guys

    I have a c5 audi 1.9 tdi 130bhp that I bought around 6-7 years ago. Basic spec, not even sure its SE. its reg'd at 2002? 52 Plate.. Its done about 140k and is worth like less than £2000 now. The clutch is literally about to blow again and its certainly not worth repairing now.

    Found two options, both similar, black 2.0 tdi s-line avants, one is 2007 and other is facelift 2009.. both around 50k on the clock. 2007 is £12,500 and 2009 is £16,500.

    Any opinions, I will be looking to keep it another 6 years and will do around 8-12k miles a year. I not sure if the extra 4k is worth it but im guessing it will be better in resale in the future??

    1)
    2007 Audi A6 2.0 TDI DPF S LINE 5DR MULTITRONIC MEDIA NAV FASH

    2)
    2009 Audi A6 2.0 TDIE S LINE 5DR FULL BLACK LEATHER

    cheers

    I would go the 2009 model...

    i) has Xenons with LED DRLS... without equating headache of retro fit and cost of conversion... IMO easier to pay extra now..

    ii) '07 has MMI 2G Basic variant (the one you've picked) '09 has MMI 3G ... bigger/higher res screen, full colour, more retros you can do to it...
    without equating headache of retro fit and cost of conversion... IMO easier to pay extra now..

    iii) '07 has half leathers, '09 has full leathers... IMO full leather better...

    iv) not sure but I think the oil pump issue on 2.0 TDi was fixed in '08 and or 08 onwards cars...

    v) besides having newer superseded parts 09 will have newer software in control modules... an update can be hours labour at dealer...

    vi) most if not all production issues sorted in face lift cars...

    I bought an 05 as thought depreciated car better for value... not gonna digress into my issues or spec...

    But what I now know I would have saved/waited and got a 2009 version of what I have...

    2009 facelift will also have the more reliable CR (common rail) engine and won't suffer from injector failure or the oil pump issue.

    I think BHP increase as well... was it 140 to 170...

    Just noted 2009 a TDIe, so no BHP increase, but more fuel economical, road tax band lower, insurance group lower as well...
    So owner running costs will be saved vs '07...

    ooopps... sorry Chris never noticed before that '09 is a TDIe... just updated post 4...

    that '09 looks even more appealing versus the '07...

    go to the auctions mate, you're from leeds, manheim auctions on a monday normally has loads of fairly new audis going through at a fraction of the cost of a dealer. try this, Manheim Remarketing - Locations - Leeds - About Us

    have a look, ring them up if you see anything and ask them for a cap clean and a cap average, you usually pay in between.try the speed search, it will throw all of that model you want up.

    Don't know what auctions are like now ... but when I got a VW Golf from one... which I thought cracking bargain... not so good when put in for first service... like I do with all used cars I buy regardless of last service done... ended up having head removed and new rings etc...

    IMO unless they give warranty, test drive would not want hassle of sorting after purchase issues... as saving could easily be blown...

    cheers for the help. what did you have problems with, with my 02 C5, i have already dealt with a bust clutch (1000+ repair bill), and water damage in the footwell which fried the ecu n wiring costing me £950. i keep hearing water build up is still possible isnt it?

    and whats the benefit of a TDIe rather than TDI? - my bad, i just seen the post
