2001 CPO A6 2.7T vs leftover 2003 Passat W8

[David]

P.S. Due to warranty considerations, both cars would remain stock.

I'd go with the A6, much more hp potential....

> Well, a fellow car-lounger over on Fourtitude (I moderate the 4000/CGT
forum there)threw a monkey-wrench in the works. I was all hopped up on
picking up a leftover 03 Passat W8 6-spd w/ sports suspension. I think I
could pick it up for around $25,000 (dealer demo with 5,800 miles). Well,
this fellow car-lounger pointed out that Audi is offering 0% financing on
all CPO 2001 A6s (the best I could do on the W8 is 2.9%). I did some
checking around and a relatively low miles 2001 A6 2.7T quattro 6-spd runs
about the same price. I would rather have a 4.2 V8 but you can't get them
with a manual tranie in the USA and a stick shift is a MUST for me.  I'd
love to hear everyones thoughts on which is the beter deal and better car,
and why. Advice? Thoughts?
