Also condsidering an A6 - 2/11/2007 3:59:07 PM    Dake   Posts: 40 Joined: 2/11/2007 Status: offline I have been looking for a while and came across an 2003 A6 4.2 with 77K miles on it. It appears very clean and has all the options.  My wife is leary of the mileage, I think these cars can go 200K when maitained properly. If I can get it for around $17,000.00 , Am I getting a good deal? I thank you for any help you can give me. DAke Post #: 1

When they work they're great but when there's problems you lose all your performance and it usually costs a lot more to repair. (in reply to Jeffla) Post #: 11

RE: Also condsidering an A6 - 2/19/2007 3:07:26 PM    Dake   Posts: 40 Joined: 2/11/2007 Status: offline Ok,  Had the car a couple of days and I love it. Runs great, is very clean, & power to spare.  I picked up a set of Dunlop winter sport M3's with it as well. Putting those on for the rest of the winter. Am also thinking of leaving them on the factory rims and upgrading my summer tires and rims. Any suggestions on the rims and sizes?  Throwing in a couple more pics as well.  This is a good looking car! Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Attachment (2) (in reply to Dake) Post #: 13

RE: Also condsidering an A6 - 2/19/2007 4:04:22 PM    railrunner Posts: 2938 Joined: 1/3/2007 From: Parts Unknown Status: offline I own the exact same car with lux and sprt pkg.  Have 66K on mine. Those factory rims are actually Very nice (retail 500 each) but heavy,  as I remember. I upgraded to 18"  split 5 spokes and like the look. See the Pic of Rims posts from a month ago to get some ideas. Maintain that car and it will be one of the best purchases you have made.  _____________________________ "Fat, Drunk and Stupid is no way to go through life" (in reply to Dake) Post #: 14

RE: Also condsidering an A6 - 2/20/2007 12:57:01 PM    prbayha Posts: 505 Joined: 6/30/2006 Status: offline Ditto...same ride with all the packages and glitz. No worries on the motor lasting you a long time.. BUT...I posted on this earlier but no one repsonded ...hehe. My 4.2 was owned by an older couple and meticulously maintanined. I have all the records. The car has 71k. Well, I just had the intake replaced due to a fluttering rail (plastic) inside the intake. Very intersting to see how it works when the dealer showed me the part. Anyways, they replaced it under warranty and it is unknown why it failed. Then, when they fired it up it immediately threw a CEL and it was diagnosed as a bad cam seal adjuster. SUPER NEAT! I almost puked. I told them to keep it for a few days and drive it too make sure there was nothing else. Other than this, the car is awesome. Everyone else I have talked to says great things. Out of all the AUDI motors this is reputed to last the longest. Maybe I just have bad luck.... _____________________________ 2001 Audi A6 4.2 Sport - Silver 2004 Lexus IS 300 SD - Black (in reply to railrunner) Post #: 15

I keep looking at all of your cars and your posts and I want to start adding " mods" right away. I haven't even owned it for a week yet. I do like the idea of the RS6 exhaust though. Boston Driver had a clip with sound of his cars exhaust. Sounds really sweet.   I have to think about the new rims though. I like the idea of going to 18's but the 17'' summer tires on the car when I bought it are still in great shape.
