Hello. I am looking for my first car and noticed a few Audi A4's online for around my budge (6000-8000). The only problem is is that they have 80-110k miles. I know German cars have a tendency to be expensive to fix. Ive heard around that the Audi have problems around 100k like the control arms and the ABS. So my question is is it worth it to get an Audi A4 with around 90k miles or will i be spending equal amounts to fix it in the near future.

Thank you.

 

IMO i would say no casue of u budget, if the miles are 100k+ u might have like u saied issues with the control arms and its close to the very expensive timing belt job which depnedin on the place u go can cost up to 1000.00+

 

Well what if i could spit out a couple more bux and get one with like 73k miles for like 9000.

 

if the timing belt has been done it sounds good, they recommend the belt to be done at 60k
and people like to sell their cars befor the belt job so they can dump that problem on someone else
but remember a car is only as reliable as its owner

my car has 60k one it has some annoying problems which is driving me crazy but nuthin major

 

Ok well lets say i dont get an Audi but i would like a semi luxury car with Tiptronics what would you reccomend?

 

i am required to say this theres nuthing better then AUDI

pssss... look in to lexus i guess, u can get the older Is300 and GS300/400 for cheap now
they are relaible machines that can take a beating, they are toyota quatlity with luxary
but remember there are lemons out there

 

I'd say skip the tiptronic and get a manual transmission.
