So I went with him on a few drives today, it was a bit rushed as be both had to work in the afternoon today. But he will be going back to the dealerships in the next few days to look.
Its down to
Golf Cityline 2.5 Auto
Golf TDi Cityline 2.5 Auto
And maybe
Kia Forte5 SX Auto
The Forte5 and the none tdi golf is the same price, but Forte will probably have more flexibility on price + lower maintenance cost. Hard to say right now because we ran out of time and didn't get to spend a lot of time at Kia.
A few question I hope the revscene members here can answer.
1. The Tdi we looked at had 240km on it, its their last one of the lot, 2011 model, had sunrooof + rear side airbag for a sticker of 29xxx, and the Non-tdi one had 150km on it with sunroof, rear side air bag and the "entertainment pkg", stickered at 28xxx. For both of these "floor models", what kind of price flexibility can we expect? $2000? $3000?
2.TDi or Gas? Financing cost (including the higher finance rate for the TDi) works out to the TDi being $30ish more per month. For a guy that drives from richmond to langley 5 times a week, will the gas savings be worth it? How's the reliability of the TDi?
3. What kind of price flexibility can we expect on the Kia? The model we test drove was 25xxx. $3000 wiggle room? More? Less?
Thanks in advance for your help.
