Automotive Tweeting

One of the more astute purchases I have made in recent years has to be my acquisition of a lovely Used Audi which I purchased from my local Sytner Used Audi dealership. But let’s cut to the chase; Audi have seem to have lost some of the reputation that they once held in the car industry. This is not because of the style of the body, the performance of the engine or the undeniable quality of the drive. No, it is primarily because of the people who have chosen to drive them.

Not so long ago, it was the BMW models that were vilified by the automotive media and car fanatics, simply because of the kind of people who could normally be witnessed behind the wheel. The BMW became intrinsically linked with Estate Agents, smarmy business men and generally the kind of people you would rather throttle yourself with a guitar string than get stuck talking to at a dinner party.

One by one, all of these ne’er-do-wells defected from the BMW camp for fear of further ridicule. The problem was what to drive next; they needed a fantastic looking car. They needed a fine machine, with precision engines. Finally they needed something quick with the power to leave pretty much all other commercially available cars sitting at the traffic lights. The fact that all of these drivers became Audi owners was inevitability that was written  in the stars since the beginning of time it seemed.

So why have I just gone out and bought a Used Audi TT?

The answer is simple really. Whenever a car is bought in great volume, the dealers always whack the prices up as high as they can to capitalise on the sudden popularity. In a different manner of speaking, if you went to buy a Used Audi in a year’s time, the price would be so high you would probably fall over laughing. What I have done is bought myself a fantastic car, but have neatly dodged paying through the nose for it.

Once the price of Used Audi vehicles has reached a maximum, the growing throngs of new Audi disciples will probably move on to something else; Mercedes Benz if my predictions are correct. This will leave me to enjoy my Used Audi in the happiness of knowing that I am driving a fantastic vehicle that will shortly be only driven by enthusiasts of Audi’s great name.

In short, by biding my time and being aware of the nature of the car market and trends, I was able to capitalise on the cheap price of a wonderful Used Audi. This is easily achievable by keeping your eyes open as to who is driving what car model. Next time you see someone horribly stuck up or smarmy, make a note of what car they drive and avoid it. Now all I have to do is play the waiting game and let the undesirables amongst us to move on to another prestige German car; beware all Mercedes-Benz owners, your time is nearly up!

What’s that? Why, it’s the glorious rumble of the automotive powerhouse that is Audi. New or used, there’s nothing like an Audi.

One would be hard pressed to think of anything that has been produced by the wunderkind that doesn’t set hearts racing. Even the rather stark utilitarian lines of the Audi Quattro retain a certain je ne sais quoi that transcends all lingual boundaries. With models to suit every need and prices to suit every budget, there’s no car quite like a used Audi.

Step aside BMW, a new manufacturer has taken the crown for luxury and opulence. The Audi A4, for example, is an example of a car that looks swish no matter where you take it, whether it’s on the motorway or out with the dogs in the countryside. The latter activity is ideally suited to an Avant model (that’s right, Audi have even managed to make the humble estate sound exclusive), which will provide any pooch with a palatial experience. For those that do not keep canine company, the Tardis-like proportions of all Avant models provide endless potential for any activity you can think of, from camping to house moves. In fact, pop a roof rack on there and it feels as if you have a close rival to a Ford Escort van, because there is little that an Avant armed with a roof rack can’t handle (except perhaps that queen size four poster bed that you’ve just bought for a song on eBay)

If you’re looking for a more executive aesthetic, the various saloons and hatchbacks available in Audi’s model classes are still enviably spacious, marrying roomy functionality with a comfortable driving experience that will see you reluctant to reach your destination. To combat this you could always set off early to enjoy the driving experience for just a little longer before you have to leave the embrace of your chosen Audi liebling, but try to keep it sensible. Questions might be asked if you set off two hours in advance for a twenty minute trip.

Every Audi is a triumph. If you’re searching for a car that will keep going no matter what whilst appealing to the all the senses, it would be churlish to overlook an offering from the Deutsch group. With a reputation that encompases reliability and quality, Audi’s legacy encompasses superior design and technology. A well-maintained Audi will give you years of problem-free service. If you’ve gone all this time without experiencing the joy of prime technik, it’s likely that you’ll soon be swayed by the persuasive arguments of sleek design and hardy engines.

Overall, if you’re asking yourself whether a used Audi would be a sensible venture, the answer is a resounding “Ja!”.

I am afraid I have to take issue with some of the comments that have been flying about regarding Audi’s reputation in this country. A rather sizeable group of people have been referring to the Audi range as ‘transport for the shallow’ and other such comments which really fail to do the Audi designers and engineers any kind of justice at all. In fact, I have gone out of my way to prove that this paradigm is simply not the case by discovering one of the most exciting and reasonably priced sports cars available on the market; the Audi TT.

The Used Audi TT has already been critically lauded as a cheaper and quicker alternative to the nearest priced Porsche model. It is also just as nimble and sturdy as the Porsche in the corners, so other than the badge on the front of the bonnet, the Audi TT is clearly a superior choice to the Porsche. I'm definitely sure that has got the attention of any of the recent Audi naysayers.

As for the ever important visual department, the Audi TT is really no let down at all. The elongated front gives a very commanding look to this sports car and gives a marvellous feeling of a retro Formula 1 car from certain angles. In terms of design, the Audi TT seems to be the perfect amalgamation of past and present design, optimised for performance in all counts.

I would recommend the Used Audi TT as the affordable choice for anyone looking to buy a sports car. It certainly has more flair and power than the Mazda MX-5 or the Mazda RX-8 (the nearest competitors in terms of price. It appears Audi have done everything in their power to extinguish the posers image of their brand and reinvigorate it with the only way they know how; a rip-roaring Used Audi TT sports car.

Unless you have buried your head under a rock for the past few months you will be aware of the Government’s latest initiative to kick start the car market, whilst also raising awareness of ‘Green Issues’. This incentive scheme has been referred to as the Scrappage Scheme and has already proved to be successful in terms of increasing the number of new cars sold in this country. The general public have literally flocked in order to get rid of their old bangers and take advantage of the up to £2000 cash incentive towards a new car.

However, there is one small problem; even with the £2000 contribution from Government and the Dealership, a lot of families still can’t afford to splash the cash on a new car. The Government are really pushing their Green agenda, primarily concerned with getting old and environmentally unsound cars off the road. The remaining concern is that new cars are still vastly more expensive than used cars so the used will continue to sell well.

But shouldn’t we feel guilty about driving used cars that may not be as good for the environment as brand new ones probably are?

The answer is simply No. Most cars made in the past 10-15 years are just as ‘Green’ as their 2009 counterparts. I have been driving a Used Audi for a few months and the Miles per Gallon ratio is identical to the new model, 4 years its junior.

So the choice of whether to take the Government up on their incentive offer is really up to you. If you want a new car then it makes sense to trade in your old 10+ year model, but if you are interested only buying a Used Car, then by all means do that. It is no less Green to recycle an existing car. Studies have revealed that the manufacturing process to make the new car probably offsets the carbon emissions you would have prevented. So essentially, the whole scheme seems like a bit of a paradox; or a waste of time, tax-payers money and guilt.

Some people don’t enjoy the experience of car shopping, but I think it’s is truly wonderful. As a ‘petrolhead’ I can think of fewer things more exciting than taking various cars for test drives and weighing up what car you could foresee yourself driving for the next few years. As a result of this attitude I have been car shopping a great number of times and subsequently bought my own fair share of what I would consider to be ‘dud’ cars. Recently, however, I have found a sure-fire way to ensuring I only buy gargantuan quality vehicles. I discovered Sytner Used Audi dealerships and kindled a love for Used Audi cars that I can’t imagine will be easily doused.

I first drove an Audi about 6 years ago at a charity racing event. I think the model was quite an old, beaten up Audi A4, but even then I was immediately impressed by the handling and the comfort, which seriously outshone most cars I had previously driven. As it happens I came near the back of the race as I was too busy enjoying the awesome interior to concentrate on overtaking. Regardless of my below par racing performance, I gained something far more important; a passion for Audi cars.

Unfortunately, like most consumer products, if you want quality then you have to pay a bit extra money. On my miniscule salary the thought of buying a new Audi would have been an impossibility. Luckily I discovered Sytner Used Audi, who just so happen to have a massive selection of terrific Used Audi vehicles, which are all priced very reasonably indeed.

Thanks to Sytner Used Audi I was able to buy a fabulous Used Audi and hardly dent my monthly budget. If you are interested in owning a luxurious car for a far from luxurious price then I recommend you visit Sytner Used Audi today.

It has been a very long time since I last went shopping for a car; so long in fact that I have noticed that the whole nature of car shopping has changed irrevocably. A matter of years ago the process was very simple indeed. You simply drove to a dealership, took a car for a test drive, paid your money and then drove your new car home. The whole process has become convoluted with the advent of new and gob-smackingly impressive technology.

Research shows that 54% of car buyers consulted a video of a vehicle before even considering a purchase. These videos can be Social network user-generated content, or footage filmed by dealers themselves. Either way, the buying public are requiring more information before making their purchases.

These are figures worth considering for any car dealers or prospective car sellers of any nature. The fact that automotive videos account for 20% of the videos watched on Youtube should interest anyone who wishes to make money from the car trade. Even more interestingly 55% are “much more likely” or “somewhat more likely” to consider making a purchase after viewing an auto online video. These are statistics that your average car dealer cannot afford to ignore at all.

So now it is a given that a car dealer has to have an internet presence, the next step it would seem would to be to offer video as standard. This can be either done by embedding Youtube Videos into the dealer’s site, providing links to relevant pages, or by shooting footage yourself and adding it to the relevant sales pages or blog portals.

There are many fine examples of Dealers taking on the new technological advancements in terms of marketing strategies. The encouraging forecast is that these techniques all seem to be working fantastically well. So if you are planning on joining the car trade, keep up by adding videos to your site.

When shopping for a used car it is awesomely important to know exactly what you are getting for your money. I have always been slightly wary of the Used Car market as I have heard so many horror stories where friends of mine have parted with an absolutely huge amount of money, only to be left with a car that will barely leave the dealership’s forecourt. With this in mind it was a huge relief when I discovered a Used Car dealership that were very honest and seemed more interested in making sure all their customers were 100% satisfied rather than just milking them for the money they were worth. That dealership was Sytner Used Audi.

This was quite convenient as I have always been an admirer of Audi and had long harboured ambitions of owning one. I had always incorrectly assumed that they would be far above my price range so rarely entertained the notion of going out and buying one. Only by visiting Sytner Used Audi did I realise how immensely affordable a top quality Used Audi could be.

The car I initially spotted and decided I wanted to buy was a fantastic Used Audi TT, which was a perfect sporty roadster. A massive impetus of buying the Used Audi TT was the looks of envy I would inevitably receive from my neighbours and co-workers. I’m not normally an exhibitionist or show off, but what a feeling it would be to be driving in a car that turned everyone green with envy!

Without too much fuss and after a leisurely test drive, I bought the Used Audi TT and have been a proud owner of it for nearly 4 months. I adore the performance, the handling and above all, the jealousy that my Used Audi inspires. I unequivocally wouldn’t trade it for any other car!

The Used Car market can become an undeniably terrible place to be buying your vehicles from. I have almost lost count of the amount of times I have been sold a dummy, or a car that has almost failed the second I get it off the dealership forecourt. It is with this in mind that I reluctantly began my search for a Used Car for my wife last month. From the outset a few particular things didn’t exactly encourage me that this Used Car shopping trip was going to be any different to the usual disappointing cavalcade of pushy salesmen and clapped out cars.
Firstly, my wife couldn’t decide what car she wanted;
“I’m not sure if I want a BMW, a Lexus or a Mercedes." She kept saying as if it was some mantra designed solely to annoy me.
Every Used Car dealership we visited yielded the same collections of rusty cars that would fail to inspire even the most stupid of car buyers. The salesmen who populated these damnable dealerships were also the very definition of annoying smarm that has become a cliché of the used car trade. Every solitary time one came near in their cheap suits and late seventies aftershave I could feel the hairs on my neck bristle.
This trend of visiting one disastrous dealership after another came to an end when I suggested my wife may like a Used Audi TT. She seemed not particularly adverse to the idea (I blame this entirely on the fact that she probably didn’t even recognise the brand name Audi) so we visited out local Used Audi Dealership.
Everything was a lot different from all the other less reputable dealerships and I immediately suspected we had found the location of my wife's awe-inspiring next car. The place was clean, the staff were friendly and the selection of cars were absolutely phenomenal.
The lesson of the story is not to give up on the used car market because of what you have heard in the past. If you look carefully, there are some very good dealerships around who will provide you excellent used cars at great prices.

I, much like a huge proportion of consumers in the current economic climate, have reverted to buying Used Cars rather than new cars. There are two main reasons for this altered trend. The first is that naturally, Used Cars are vastly cheaper than buying new. Secondly, the depreciation costs as soon as you drive a new car away from the dealership are too harsh for most car drivers to bear. Hence, the Used Car market is experiencing something of a boom and I am happy to say that I have joined in.

After many hours research and viewing owner reviews on the web, I decided that a great car for me would probably be the Audi TT. The Audi TT is essentially a relatively powerful sports coupe with an abundance of power from the V6 engine. Some have described the Audi TT as a jet-powered rollerskate, but to me it represented so much more. The stylish Audi TT seems to have been designed for those who like to be seen and noticed and I guess I would class myself in that category.

However, this kind of luxurious motor doesn’t come cheap first hand, so I began to scour the Used Audi market for something a little more affordable. After minimal searching I discovered Sytner Used Audi Dealerships located up and down the country. Their website displayed a vast array of extraordinarily priced Used Audi models which seemed like the kind of value I had been angling for.

A short visit to Sytner Used Audi later and I was test driving a nearly new Used Audi TT, which to be completely honest, ticked all my pre-requisite boxes. I paid my money and drove my Audi TT home, proving how easy it is to find a awesome car with very little effort.
