Buying an estate car?

I am looking at getting an A6 Avant. If I go for an old shape 2011 plate with 15,000 miles on the clock I am looking at roughly £20k.

If I look at the new shape with similar miles on the clock I am looking at £25k. I will pay the extra money but only if the car is that much better. I like the look of both cars so its just build and ride quality I am concerned with.

What do you think?

The current model was de-specced as standard and buyers had to pay extra to get the same level of spec as the older model. Also the V6TDI went FWD instead of quattro. So you need to compare carefully in value terms.
