Hi guys,
Am in to process of deciding what to buy next and seen the Evoque, one word WOW!
Been looking at the 2011 Cayenne and RSS (diesel) but unfortunately I have decided no to buy a either. Not because the Cayenne is not my dream car but because of the kilometres I do a year and depreciation. The problem is that I do 30-35000kms a year and if I were to spend 120-140K I would need to keep the car for a minimum 5 years. Unfortunately the resale value of a Luxury car with 160,000Kms is not good.
One of the main reasons I looked at these was that I need something that can tow my boat (2500Kgs) to and from the boat ramp and in to town for servicing, in total that would add up to no more that 150kms per year. So what we have decided is to buy a cheap (<10K) 4 x 4 to tow the boat and an everyday car.
Because of the 2.5T towing requirement to Evoque was not an option but now it is . Hopefully I will get to see one in June. I am going to talk to the dealer to see if I am able to put down a conditional deposit so that I do not miss out on the first shipment.
Cheers
