Hello everyone,

I was wondering what you guys think about this deal,
Audi A4 3.0L SMPI DOHC, mileage 95,329, 2004 4dr Sdn 3.0L CVT, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, for $8k.

The car seems to be in great condition, no structural damage, no scratches, and is very clean inside and out. The car has had two owners. While test-driving, I didn't notice any significant problems with the car.

The only thing that makes me hesitate to buy this car is the relatively high mileage, as well as the front-wheel drive (I would prefer AWD).
What do you guys think? People who own an early 2000's A4, how many miles have you driven your car? Have you experienced problems with it?

 

Most will tell you to wait for an AWD that you can afford. Especially if you live in an area that gets any snow. If you really don't need/want an AWD the 3.0 is a great engine that with proper care will last hundreds of thousands of miles.

 

The issue with that car is the CVT, which has earned a bad reputation for costly failure. Get a Quattro car with a tip trans, or a manual. Stay away from the CVT.
