320-360k income, was thinking of getting an s4 because i need 4 wheel drive for ice. Dont want anything too sporty b/c wife needs to be able to drive it too and a sedan feels a bit better than a coupe.Is this okay to daily drive without huge maintenance costs?
>>29037550>Dont want anything too sporty b/c wife needs to be able to drive it tooShe'll just ask her boyfriend to drive it for her
>>29037561/thread
>>29037561>he doesn't send his wife to get the groceries and do the cookingKek fag
>>29037561Genuine question but what is with white people and having cuckold fantasiesnot even trying to be racist
>>29037550>320-360k incomenice larp
>>29037569>he only has one car
>driving on ice>350hp>for wifeLol
>>29037581It's mulatto crab bucket mentality.
All replies no one answered or could answer the question? Is o full of larping ricers?
>>29037806why not get an rs? not like your wife will crash it, women never use more than 10% of throttle. Audis kinda suck though, they aren't really drivers cars and the interiors are worse than bmws.Just get a wrx
>>29037814If i were the only one driving i'd just get a 6 speed 997 carrera s or maybe a cayman gts 4.0 but if theres ever an emergency she needs to be able to drive it and it needs to function as a good all arounder, at least until we get 2 cars.If there are better options im all ears.
>>29037815Yeah an A model, not an S. If it's for the wife no need for an S.
>>29037550You don't make 300k because otherwise you would know what to do with your moneyt. bought wife 70k SUV
>300k yearly income>what about second hand money pitTerminaly retardation
>>29037826If he actually made even half that then he would know that that's a retarded amount of expendable income. You could literally buy a brand new S4 every year, ignore maintenance costs altogether just don't even do maintenance. Just drive it and trade it in when the oil gets low.
>>29037855>>29037826>>29037821low iq posts
>>29037550Your larp game is weak. People who make that kind of money has a his, hers, and a weekend car.
>>29037826You've clearly never met the all the retarded tech workers who get paid huge salaries to fill a seat because tech workers were scarce. A lot of them have big salaries but no idea what to spend it on because they're fucking idiots
>>29037879300k is enough to not even think about that decission. Bought a lemon? Who cares, 20k is nothing
>>29037879There's a big difference between not knowing what to spend it on and knowing if you can spend it at all. Someone making that kind of money might have decision paralysis but they're not going to be concerned with maintenance costs on a used car once they've decided they want it.
RS5 B9 coupe
>>29037892>have one audi>spends 2 months a year in the shop
With that rim size and the relatively stiff suspension you will feel every single pebble. At the very least swap out those wheels for something not so gaudy
>>29037550if you like it buy it, you only live once. buy a new one so dealer gives you warranty a free servicing for 5 years.it is an easy car to daily drive maintenance cost will be comparative with anything else in the same class so its irrelevant.build quality in new audis especially interior had gone a wierd direction imo, but this is subjective.
the EA839 is a piece of shit with rocker arm (early) and piston slap (all in the 3.0) issues. its basically a time bomb and even though audi increased warranty period they will only put new pistons in, even if your cylinder walls are scored to shit. they were replacing the entire shortblock initially but presumably cant keep up with demand
>>29037550Somehow every poster on /o/ makes at least 300KHow the fuck is that possible
>>29037987Those who have high income are more likely to mention it. Nobody is bragging about making $16.55/hr.
>>29037987>He doesn't make 300k
>>29037550You don't need 4WD to drive on fucking ice you retarded larping zoomer.
>getting a S4 for the wife
>>29037987There are way more people who own and drive 10+ year old shitboxes than there are people who brag about their mid 6 figure salaries
>>29037890>>29037892There are also mortgages, childcare expenses, investment expenses etc. Its not like 300k just sits around in disposal income. If I have 8k in disposable income leftover every month it makes more sense to spend as little as i need to on a car and put the rest into investments. Do anons think 300k = $14k to blow on whatever you want every month?
No, audi is a pile of shit you'll be stuck with whatever the dealership/mechanic loaner is constantly if this is your only car.If winter driving is a concern get a second set of wheels and put winter tires on them and just have a teenager at the tire shop swap them out before/after winter. You can get studded tires if you're the type to wear 2 condoms.Get your wife a prius (more likely, get her whatever stupid SUV she wants in the first place anyway) and get yourself whatever yuppie hotrod is on your dream board.
>>29038028I’m jelly…because you could buy a g82 m4 comp…
M340i xDrive
>>29038796Why would anyone do that when they can buy a Porsche instead?
>>29038710The whole point of getting a second set of wheels for your snow tires is not needing the teenager at the tire shop to put them on
>>29038866high test
>>29038803I did look at xdrive but it seems a less comprehensive 4wd system than torsen quattro?>>29038866This. Wife hates suv's too.
i have both. torsen is better in snow but xdrive is way more fun and better to drive in general.
>>29038872this but unironically vs lx
>>29038688Brother the guy is talking about maintenance costs on a 50k car. He's not talking about financing a new Maybach. No one actually making 1/3 of a million dollars a year is fretting about potentially spending 2-3k a year on a car. If your finances are so out of control that you're spending all of your ~$4300 paychecks and don't know if you can afford to keep your car running then you've got way bigger problems.
>>29038688you are aware families make do with 1/10th that>>29038893torsen is gay grandpa shit (hence reddits love for it), the future is variable ratio awd Anyway if one wants a practical car, a b9 s4 would be the last one i'd consider. Thirsty and cucked tank size, Filling up every other day isnt practial at all
>>29037550>i need 4 wheel drive for ice.We're done here.
>>29037581It's from having an enfeebled, porn-addled brain, and race has nothing to do with it. Kanye West brags about it himself, for example.
>>29037550>Redpill me on this carWhy, what am I getting out of it? I charge a consultant's fee for professional automotive recommendations.
>>29040272Here is 1 (you) upfront you will get 1 you after posting good advices.
>>29037550>320k income>sharing a vehicle with the wifeNot buying it.
>>29040374NTA but that’s how people get rich. Not overspending on shit you don’t need
>>29040547no, people get rich by providing value to society. pinching pennies won't get you rich, it'll just decrease your quality of life.
>>29037581It's an American thing.
>>29037550Just get the Audi A5. It's retard proof AWD.
>>29037550How much are you driving? Have you considered just leasing?
this board has a massive hate boner for anything VAG, OP.but its a good car. any audi will be very easy to drive and of good quality for the most part
>>29037550>i need 4 wheel drive for icememe>a sedan feels a bit better than a coupememebuy a prius, it should fit you well
>>29040921Faaaaaaaag
>>29040930nice to meet you, fag
>>29040921>4wd memeabsolutely not
>>29040961>this drifting webm proves that RWD can't snowapply yourself
>>29040961What a fag
>>29040914I have but ultimately i feel leasing leaves me with less cash than depreciation from buying used and driving a few years.In reality ill probably drive the s4 for a year my wife can keep it and ill get a 997 carrera s for myself. Maybe an a4 is better in that case.
>>29041324just be aware you are buying a car with 10 year old infotainmet architecture
>>29041456>infotainmentI havent used a cars info/entertainment system since they got rid of cd players. I just use my phone with volume all the way up if i want to listen to music. I think the last time i used a car system to play anything was 2007. I try to avoid ever touching anything that isnt related to steering shifting or pedals because i just get angry at how retardedly set up everything is. If it were up to me it would be illegal for cars to have touch screens or digital gauges.
>>29041324You do you, you can afford to lose a little depreciation with your income without much impact. Honestly, I would say just get your wife a car and get your p car.
>>29041525>because i just get angry at how retardedly set up everything isok, have fun with your audi that drives like ass without drive select to dynamic after every start
>>29041527>drives like ass without a lot of nanny systemsK
>>29041526>audi a4 and 997 sThat probably makes the most sense desu.
>>29041551And if your wife wants a true foidmobile just get a Q
