"2005 Audi A4 3.0 Found with 22k miles and $22k. Pretty loaded up and much cheaper than I was looking. Happened to be the only A4 stick on the Audi lot. Prestine condition for an 05. Is it really worth the upgrade to a car that is already 3 years old, no newer than the car I already drive, but a nicer car with less miles"

This depends on whether or not you are financing it. I would hate to buy a 3 year old car, finance it for 4 or 5 years, and it be 7 or 8 years old by the time you get it paid for. If you aren't financing, or are only financing for 2 years, I guess it isn't a bad deal. I just know that if I was paying for a car for 4-5 years, I wouldn't want it to be 7 or 8 years old by the time I was through paying for it.
