Hi

Just thought I would let you know that the Audi E-Tron GT has now been sold. I took a positive look at the financial side of keeping the car and decided it was no longer viable. With the insurance at nearly £3k plus the new road fund tax, and the luxury car tax it was looking as if it would cost me £300 per month just to keep it in the garage watching it depreciating.  I will probably buy a hybrid of some description. Thank you all for the info and support over the years it has been entertaining and helpful. I still have my other love which is a 1947 MG TC. No MOT. No road fund tax. Insurance £150 p.a. But it is not an Audi.

Hello Tony,

Sorry to hear that, but the logic certainly stacks up, and  I’m sure you have made the right decision for your circumstance.

Audi ownership is not a condition of forum membership, so please don’t be a stranger on here - whatever you buy. 
Most importantly, many thanks for your input over the years - always interesting.

Continue to enjoy the TC. Simple technology and an absolute minimum of anything electronic. I must confess to be well into cars of this era, it’s a very enjoyable activity.

Take care Tony, and many thanks again,

Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Thanks Gareth. I will still keep scanning the forum. Yes I must admit, my age does relate to carburettors and sets of points. I know what I am doing with them. If it wont start in can only be fuel or spark.

Points and carbs are also my era Tony, so good luck to you. I don't blame you for getting rid of the E-Tron after the problems you have had.

If you ever want to buy another electric car consider a Geely or BYD or any other Chinese brand. European car makers are still trying to catch up with the Chinese after too many years of neglecting electric propulsion.

Sorry to hear this Tony, but I fully understand your reasoning. You've been a valued member of the club and you're more than welcome to stay despite not having an Audi. 

All the best 

Steve 

Thanks Steve. It just seemed the correct time to evaluate the transport situation. I was able to realise round about the target figure for the Audi. I will stay in touch.
