RE: Possible New Owner 2001 A6 -117,000 miles
It means the car has a tiptronic automatic transmission.
They all wanna know the number on the back (if it was not debadged)
For instance, mine is a 2.8
It could be a 3.0, a 4.2, or a 2.7T
2.8 is a really stout engine and with normal wear and tear repairs will last forever. Mine has over 170K and I have probably put 3000 (if it was done professionally *which it wasnt) in total big maintenance. Trans flush, timing belt, front cv boots
2.7T is a funner car but will need a little more love esp. if someone was rough with it.
4.2's and 3.0's are good engines but I know very little.
At 9000 dollars, it is probably a 2.8 or a 3.0. The 2.7s and 4.2s are more money.
You should just be really complete with checking it out. CV Boots, oil leaks, all electronics, braking make sure it is legit.
