I would never spend 40k on any mainstream car. I am not saying a Toyota Avalon, Buick Lacrosse, etc. isn't worth it. Just for my money, for that kind of money, I would get a CPO luxury vehicle, like a CTS, 5 series, or an Avant

I see a 2010 Audi A6 with the 3.0L Turbo with 28k for $40k. And I meant $40k tax in, so an A4 Avant that goes for $35k is more accurate...
A very positive review - hard to reconcile with the supposed institutional hatred by autos.ca of all things GM in general, and all things Buick in particular.

Something seems wrong with those prices. When I was car shopping I couldn't find an A6 with 100K for under much under 40K.S4s were like 35-40K with 100K

Only would spend that kind of money on a 2-3 year old car, now if that means sacrificing to a turbocharged V6, so be it...

BIG difference!but of course you knew that...and I for one would for sure spend the 40k on that car. supercar sounds and supreme comfort and tech...plus it is mighty quick too...
This Buick is a regular sighting out in the country, popular with the older retired farmer who pretty well drove a Buick all his life, always shiny and will probably have 20k on it after 5 years. I like it, just not my thing.

I like it, just not my thing. I see a fair few of them around Oakville as well. Veranos, too. It is the Regal which remains curiously absent from the local automotive landscape. Likely because both LaCrosse and Verano have a more defined mission statement and are more successful in pursuit of same.
