Hi all!

Hopefully soon I will be buying a 2004 A6 2.7T. I do not want to over pay for mininal performance boost and was wondering if it is worth it to look for the S-line package? Is it better to buy the best 2.7T with minimal miles? I know it may sound crazy but I don't want to spend much more than $20000 on this car and I saw a 2004 at a largedealer for $24898 that had 33,550 miles on it. I am not sure how Audi dealers are about coming down on the price but I would have bought this car if the dealer didn't later inform me that it had been sold at auction. Thanks all for the help!!

 

I'm new to audi's myself, and just bought a 2004 2.7T s-line with about the same mileage as what you mentioned (for almost the same price as you mentioned).. I have never driven a non s-line, so have no idea about the performance difference, I went the s-line route because I like the way it looked.
I think the regular a6's I saw all looked to plain (pasaat plain), and the few exterior differences of the s-line set it off for me...shallow, I know!

 

The $25K price seems about right for that mileage, and a great price if it is a certified car. For a non-certified car, you may have some negotiating room.
I have the S-line, I like the rear spoiler look and the 17" wheels, also the 15hp performance boost andsport suspension..
The manual 6-speed isnice if you are a sporty driver, but this is not available in the 2004 S-line. Personally, I like the automatic, it lets me focus more on the road, and my wife can drive it too.

 

Thanks for the replies! Yes that 2.7T (non S-line) was a certified car so I guess I haven no room to get a good deal correct? I love the sportiness of the S-line but if I can add a few things to make mine just a nice with minimal cost I am all for it.

 

I purchased an '04 A6 2.7T S-Line last month. Priced out at $26k with all options except navigation. Car is certified through 2010 and had40k miles at purchase.

I test-drove both non s-line models and s-lines. I liked the sport suspension and wheel setup much more on the s-line model. I never had the opportunity to test both models speeds, but the car I purchased is sweet on the highway. Punch the accelerator and watch it go !

Let me know if you have any other questions.
