Newbie and looking at the possibiliy of buying a A6 Quattro wagon with 114k.

Wondering what to look/check for and what to expect in so far as reliability.

Thanks, appreciate any input you guys could offer.

 

how much are you getting it for is the first question that comes to my mind

 

Are there service records available? Maintenance is very necessary. Coolant(Audi specific), Power Steering fluid (audi specific)
Break fluid (DOT4) NGK plugs, Bremi wires, Synthetic oil, Mann/Mahle filters. I have 90K miles on mine with no major issues.
Timing belt should have been done at 85-90k miles.

Tie rods, control arms.

I have a 96 A6 avant and it runs great.

 

Is this the model with the aluminum control arms?
Also how's the tranny on these models? bulletproof? problematic?

Thanks
