[SVT_Power]

So when do I get to drive this thing

[the Teuton]

That's a very nice looking, expensive Volkswagen.
Did you buy it new or used?

Used. MSRP for the truck was $76,000 with all the options... I paid $39,000 including taxes out the door. 53,000 kilometres. 1.5 years on the road. Not bad at all.

[Raza]

That's Canadian dollars, Teuton.

By "I paid" you of course mean your parents.

[TheIntrepid]

No, I mean MYSELF.. ME.

[the Teuton]

When he said kilometers, I kinda figured that.

[sandertheshark]

You.  $39k of your own hard-earned loonies.

[TheIntrepid]

You. $39k of your own hard-earned loonies.

I think I've said it before. I earn $40/hr... 18 hours a week...for about 2 years now.

[Danish]

So Touraegs are so winply they don't belong in the "Big Guys" section, ehh?

Alright then.   Have fun with your Towrag.

A much smarter choice than a Pepper.

[Submariner]

Unless they get different engines up there in Canadia...you have 330 horses, not 280.

310

[Colonel Cadillac]

Looks nice

[ro51092]

Touareg, nice car. It's a fine SUV, and has an interior that would look great in a US$75,000 car. It wouldn't have been my first choice for a vehicle, but would be up there for an SUV.

Congrats.

[Submariner]

310

Damnit...methinks the V8 in the A8.

[ro51092]

Damnit...methinks the V8 in the A8.

Yeah, I think theyre basically the same V8, but the Touareg has 310, and the A8 has (had) 335. I think the Audi versions of the 4.2 now have 350 hp.

[TBR]

Yeah, it now has direct injection. I think the Touareg will be getting the same engine for its facelift.

[ro51092]

Yeah, and I hope you get a BMW E46 instead of a CL-S for your next car.

[TBR]

Only if I can stretch to a 325ci, otherwise I would rather have an E36 but that is getting a bit older than I would like. The E46 sedan just doesn't look right to me. Time will tell.

GO 325CI!!!!!

[TBR]

Just checked prices, it could happen... That's an exciting possibility for sure. Okay, thread hijack over.

Well touareg gave the same post of his touareg on genmay and i was pretty muc laughing out loud when i heard this fellows rant

Heres the link to the thread:http://genmay.com/showthread.php?t=699386

'll keep it simple..

1. I don't believe for two seconds that any 17 year old has saved up nearly $40k on his own no matter how much he's making per hour. I also don't believe that any 17 year old is making $40 an hour giving piano lessons (this really is funny stuff you're making up )

2. I also don't believe that any 17 year old, even if they actually had saved up nearly $40k, would all the sudden blow it all on a monumentally stupid purchase like this. In a year and a half it's value dropped in HALF, what's it gonna do in the next year and a half??? Incredibly stupid decision on your part if you in fact made it.

3. Nobody is smart/disciplined enough to save up FOURTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in two years only to blow it on such a stupid waste of money. Yes it's a waste of money, because even your hypothetical $40k savings would be earning interest in a bank account, and $40k today will be more like $41k or whatever next year. Your $40k car today will be $20k a year and a half from now. NOBODY is that stupid, except for s

4. I believe that your parents either purchased this vehicle entirely for themselves(most likely, 90%+ chance), or purchased it for you with a very VERY modest down payment from you and everybody on the block as co-signer.

5. You're fuckin' full of shit

6. edit: or it's your dad's new company vehicle

edit2: Explain to me why on earth a 17 year old kid would buy a fucking VW Toureggnog if he really had $40k saved up? You don't have any better taste or sense than that? $40k in cash to spend on a car and you buy a fuckin' TOUREGGNOG?? What the hell man?

Toureggnogs, Intrepids, Camrys, these are all cars that your parents would be buying/leasing/company cars, not cars that a 17 year old would be buying. Your stories are 100% pure bull fucking shit

Ah well to each his own  :P

Is there a reason you are such a dick?

[TBR]

The guy has a point, it is a rather stupid thing to do. I don't know if he actually did it or not, but I sure hope that his parents aren't going to let him waste money like this and then pay for all of his college. Besides, if I had $30k I'd sure buy something a lot more cool than that.

Yeah, but to each his own. The Touareg's his definition of cool ( ), and if he wants it, why should we care?

Note: I would also go for that BMW 323i if I was in his case.

They can settle it outside of carspin
