What is the best car one can buy for 130k and under?

Thanks for the great info!

I have 05 320i e90 auto but having issues so took back to dealer and busy with ombusman to get deal cancelled.

Last couple months things been going better so im look for something different. I am looking between Audi and BMW. I need car for work and something safer to drive. Boot is a must with fold up ladder. was looking at A3 or 4 1.8T auto for myself or BMW 120i or 320i (320 disappoints me though). recommendations between these are welcome and pros and cons. I know bmws have coil and limp mode issues. I dont know the audis that well but from what you have told me seems to be pretty solid car. Friend has a B5 A4 1.8T and everytime spoke to him, his like dont even go A4 1.8T. Soooo dont know haha.

I am basically just waiting for ombusman to get stuff sorted then ill start process over with searching.

Just remember that the B6 and B7 share the same chassis. B5 1.8T had the older engines(110kw initially). B6 and B7 had the 120kw. I also did not like the B5.

B6 also has the 1.8 'red' T which is +-140kW.

Jip and the B5 had the 132kw as well. The 132kw engines were good to mod.

If a car is valued at 130k it is still much much more on a loan. Unless you paying cash
