Bit of a connundrum
You may not be aware, but my dad passed away on the 16th May unexpectedly in hospital aged 74.
I've been left with a decision to make with regards his car which I have been using on and off since he went into hospital.
He bought the car at 3 months old in 2009, and he has been the owner ever since. My mum does not drive, my brother has a company car and my sister can only drive Autos due to a shoulder injury.
We need to sell his car, but my mum said why not keep his and sell the Audi. Both cars value wise are very similar. Its very tempting, his car is diesel, low mileage (33K) and I've known the car and driven it regularly since he bought it.
Mine: 2004 Audi A8 D3 3.7 Q, 132K miles, 280BHP.
His: 2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4PD TDi, 33K miles, 80BHP.
His car has so many advantages over the Audi, £25 road tax, 80MPG, just been serviced, MOT'd, cambelt changed last year. I love the Audi, but his car has a sentimental attachment as well. I've had to insure his car in my name as his insurance was terminated when LV were notified of his death.
I've got a while to decide, early September I suppose is when it will be put up for sale or the Audi.
