Tips on Buying Cars: buy used or buy new, ford fusion, new ford

Question
I have my eye on an 2005.5 Audi A4 (3.2L)with 46K miles.  It is a CPO with a warranty until 2011 or 100k.  I will likely put 15 to 20k a year and want to keep it for 4 to 5 yrs. Like to keep my pymnts around $450/month. I also looked at a new Ford Fusion V6 with 3/36 bumper to bumper and 5/60 powertrain.  My question is what would be a better move?  Completely two different cars, but similar payments.  Thanks

Hi David
Its really comes down to what vehicle handles the way you like, some consumers only like imports while others only domestic, as for myself I favor the Fusion, its an excellent vehicle, while I think the Audi has far to many issues per 100 cars produced along with labour rates and parts being more expensive.

looks like you done some homework, I like that, go to my website for some pointers you may have missed  http://www.usedcartips.org/  good luck.
