330ci will be in the region of 180K plus for a 1yo, if you're lucky, and youll never find any used btw...They're a good buy...
A4 will be 2.4...

Last question from me....

As sadistic as it sounds, what with the driving here, I would far have a manual rather than auto.....

Are they as thin on the ground as it appears??
