The secret of having a cost effective car is to buy it right. Also to buy small. However I think you may want a big expensive car really
I had a X5 and it was good and solid but suffered one or two electrical problems. Generally liked it and wouldn't hesitate having another. Same goes for the Range Rover and that must make the Discovery a contender. The Mercedes ML was appallingly badly finished but mate's new GL which I saw today looks to be in a different league.
Its a great pity that such an otherwise great car like the Q7 should be blighted by one issue that spoils it for so many people. If Audi made an effort to sort it out then everyone would be happy. Apparently they are either not interested or cannot cost effectively cure the issue. It is an issue that is obviously well known to them but one which they choose to claim isn't real.
At the end of the day it is only a tin can and as such can be disposed of without emotion. To be emotional about it would be illogical. Its a nice car to drive and very nice looking in my opinion but at the end of the day the flaw is fatal to its long term ownership prospects.
How much per ton is scrap these days?
