Out of the cars you posted, the Acura, IMO is probably the one.
If something goes wrong with Saab or Audi, it's hard to find someone
to repair it. The cost of repair will be higher. The half dozen or so owners
that I know of Saab and Audi have/had their cars repaired once every few
months. It was strange how often and consistently, and across the board.
BMW, it's easier to find someone to work on it, but a few won't. Costs
can be higher as well, but they seem to be more dependable than Saab
or Audi.
The Acura is a very nice, reliable car, and will hold it's value very well.
Reasonable repair costs as well.
Not sure how you snuck a Jetta in there. It seems out of place.
Is it a TDI?
If you are going private sale, don't be afraid to lowball the price,
especially in todays market in Calgary. Use blackbook or bluebook
pricing as a guide. If you can fall into the ranges they give you
are getting a good deal (good luck trying). If you are way outside,
by 15% or so, let it go find another car.
And no matter what, get an independant mechanic to check out
the vehicle. In the case of Audi, Saab and BMW, you might even
be able to get one of the dealerships to run the VIN and tell you
when/why the car was there, how many times, etc.
