Well I had moved to Melbourne in order to find a good job opportunity only to be offered something back in Perth... So I'm heading back, and now need to purchase a new car!

I want something I can stick my surfboard/surfski in ...

Either an Audi Stationwagon (manual) or it will be a Ford Ute 馃榾

Question is how much is the Audi to fix, to maintain etc...

Don't want to spend any more than $20000... any other suggestions??

I've heard lots of comments about Audis having big problems that cost a fortune to fix.

My A4 Wagon has been an in incredible car, my brother has a Volvo wagon and has so far spent close to $4,000 for various mechanical failures not to mention they're bloody ugly! Been trying to sell it since but no takers...he is extremely meticulous on maintenance too. Get a car with a service history and use that as a starting point. Better yet, drive a Volvo and an Audi on the same day and you'll soon realize which is the better car in terms of overall quality.

Only kidding about the Volvo.... but thought the other links might be interesting..
