considering buying one that has 80K miles. the car is in very good condition (visually) problems with this model? buy or not buy?

How does A6 3.0 rate vs A4 3.0?

Like any used vehicle, ask for service records and I suggest an independent mechanic check it out (one who knows Audis). I also have a 2003 A4 3.0 MT6 and it is a very nice vehicle. I bought the A6 5 years ago because I needed the extra passenger and luggage space, but I bought the A4 for my daughter. If I have to replace the A6 someday, I will probably buy an A4. It's a little smaller and a little less expensive, but has all the big car features. I can tell you I get about 23 mpg on the highway (70-75) and my daughter has made the same 350 mile trip and gets 25-26.

I would go with A6 3.0, especially if it's FWD. Statisticaly, the CVT tranny fails on A4 with 3.0L engine much often.
