Hi,

I plan to buy my first Audi A4 1.8T with Xenon light.
2002, 65.000km, certified by Audi with a warranty for the next 2 years
I plan to ride 15.000Km a year.

I have two questions :

1- I would like to know what kind of problem generally known (if there is) I can get until 100.000 and 120.000km ?
2- What is depreciation of the car each year ?, what is the cost for an Audi with 8 years with 15.000x8 = 120.000km ?

Thanks A LOT for yours answer... Good or bad news.

Can't really help you with long term costs of the car or depreciation. I've only had mine for 7 months now. Another 30000 km and ur car will have 60000 miles, which means time to change timing belt.

If u can't DIY u're probably looking at 1500 dls parts + labor, so make sure warranty covers it.

Thermostat and water pump also need replacement at that mileage - i think this is usually done with the timing belt change.

I think that covers the most important maintenance for the next 30000-40000 km.

Good luck!
