Hi, looking for a car for approx. 3000 Euro. I need a petrol engine. Transmission doesn’t matter. But would prefer for the price manual transmission to save fuel. The old automatic transmissions consume a lot or? I rarely drive the highway. Drive more than 60 percent highway and rest of town. Annual driving performance would be about 8000km. would like to fetch vw, audi, bmw or mercedes. At mobile.de and autoscout24.de I find e46(6-cylinder),e39, a4 b6(2.0) for this price. Price imaginable that you can get good or usable copies? bmw 4 cylinders and vw/audi control chain motors I want to avoid because of the control chain problems. but looking for from 100 ps performance. should I avoid e39 or e46 facelift models because of the takata airbags too?
