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 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 excitement 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.

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 a vast 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 excellent 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 assumed that they would be far above my modest 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 major impetus of buying the Used Audi TT was the looks of envy I would certainly 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 unequivocally love the performance, the handling and above all, the jealousy that my Used Audi inspires. I am not being phoney when I say that I wouldn’t trade it for any other car!

The Used Car market can become an extremely frustrating 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 good lady last weekend. 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 anger me.
Every Used Car dealership we visited yielded the same collections of rusty cars that would fail to inspire even the most foolish of car buyers. The salesmen who populated these damnable dealerships were also the very paean of annoying smarm that has become a trademark 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 next great 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 lgreat 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 considerably 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 wonderous number of extraordinarily priced Used Audi models which seemed like the kind of value I had been angling for.

A impeccably 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 superb car with very little effort.

Buying used cars can be a awkward business. More often than not you end up with an old banger which barely makes it from the dealership forecourt to the main road. That is why you have to shop around before settling on the perfect model for you. I went Used Car shopping recently and found myself bombarded with choices from all manner of dealers. There is a simple trick to making sure you don’t get conned by any dodgy dealers and that is to take your time.

In my experience the best Used Cars to go for in general are Used Audi cars. I bought a fabulous Used Audi TT for less than £10,000, which turned out to be a very prudent choice. The engine was spectacular. The handling was spot on. Everything about my Used Audi was absolutely amazing and I got it for a bargain price.

One of the best ways to choose your Used Audi is to test drive it first. I was careful to make sure that I tested my car in as many conditions and terrains as possible. I appreciate you only get a short amount of time to test drive, but try and take your prospective car along the following.

1.Dual Carriageways or motorways: This will ensure the vehicle can handle high speeds.

2.       Country Roads: This will ensure the vehicle has adequate handling on tight turns.

3.       Heavy Traffic: Stop start traffic and clutch work will indicate if the clutch is adequate.

By utilising all these driving conditions you will be able to gauge how functional the car is.

My final tip would to be to only visit reputable dealers. I bought my Used Audi TT from Sytner Used Audi who have an untarnished reputation when it comes to selling Used Audi models. I recommend you listen to my advice and act on it accordingly.
