As some of you may know i was shopping for a car for my son. This was a little while back and now i think it is time he gets a car(i decided to let him drive the 99 RX while learning) he actually wants. So far, after 2 years, no traffic violations or accidents, i think he should be rewarded.
So i gave him a price range and he quickly came up with all of these cars...
2000-2001 A4
2002-2002 A4
1999-2002 A6
1998-2000 Mercedes C class
1998-2002 E class
1999-2002 3 series
Any of these can be had for not too much and they all seem pretty safe to me. However, i have never owned any of these cars so i have very little information on these.
Any insight on which is the best car in here?
I am looking for safety, reliability(which i know, they are all not great), service costs, size(son is 6'2) and haggling ability price-wise
