Hi all. New to the forums...

I'm trying to decide on a 2000 4.2L A6 with 67k miles. The asking price from the private Seller is $13999. Carfax report came back clean. Is this too good to be true? Car appears in great condition inside and out. What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance-

 

Sounds pretty good. If the car is in good shape, that engine is a tank. Take it to a good Audi mechanic (search the apropriate regional form here and at www.audiworld.com for recommendations) to have a pre-sale inspection done. May cost you a hundred bucks, but cheap insurance.

Good luck.

 

I bought mine for less, and love it so far.

Do just as SouthboroAudiGuy suggest and take it to an independent mechanic. I also ran a carfax against mine and found nothing. It was not until I took it to my mechanic for a timing belt replacement that we noticed that the passenger side front fender had been repaired (bondo). The job done was great, and the only indication was some bondo foundnext to the light assembly inside the fender.You could see where the bondo bled through just a bit in some of the holes.
I later become informed that not all repair shops enter all of the repairs (if any) done into the system that the insurance companies use, which is where most of the Carfax info come from. I do not know why that is the case nor did my mechanic, but only that it is a fact of life in the repair industry.
