Hey Guys,

Noobie here - read the sticky on the 2.7T and am looking at a 2000 A6 one with low KMs - only 125,000kms! Thats 78,000 miles for the americans. It is in amazing visual condition, asking $8,000. Here's the maintenance record:

· The timing belt was replaced at 78,700 km, in May 2008. The water pump and thermostat were replaced at the same time.
· Had some work done on the front suspension in May 2011 – a “right front new lower ball joint/control arm”.
· The following sensors were replaced in the last couple of years:
o 2 back up sensors – 2009/2010
o Engine coolant temperature sensor – June 2010
o Bank 1 and 2 EGT sensors – Nov 2012
o Oxygen sensor – Oct 2012
o Mass air flow sensor – Feb 2012
· Other recent replacements (within last 2 years):
o Bank 1 ignition module
o New starter
o New headlights
o New headlight switch
o New fuel pressure regulator valve
o New alternator
o Replaced serpentine belt and tensioner
o Replaced cup holders (2 - front)
o Front brakes – Aug 2011
o Rear brakes – May 2011

So - is this a fair price? I want an audi for the looks, the leg room (I am 6'4" and this is one of the very few I seem to fit in), and the AWD. The sport factor helps to as I love to drive.

I am not a huge fan of spending a ton of money on one - I live in Vancouver an there are a lot of audi techs here but they aint cheap.

Lastly, I would use it mostly for Hwy driving, I take the bus to work, it is faster than driving (those in van it's because I need to get over lions gate bridge). So only used for road trips.

There is also this Audi 2.7T same generation, same KMs, a bit newer, s-line trim, and $4k more:
2004 AUDI A6 2.7 Twin Turbo S-line

Lastly a dealer has a nice 2009 3.0T A6, but it is american, doesn't seem to have any records. Low-ish miles. But they want $33,000 which seems high for the risk on it.

i just picked up my 2000 a6 quattro 2.7t it has 160.000 miles on it but runs great and in great shape for $2800 once the holidays are over i plan to do a timing belt i dont know when it was changed last

 

It sounds like you can't go wrong for $2800 - it sounds like $7-8k is in line for that 2000 2.7T then, as it only has 78k miles on it and is in great shape...

Any other opinions??

 

If you dont mind the extra 4k on the 2004 then i would go for it. The 2004 is a much newer looking (face lift, visible dual mufflers) You will prefer the newer look of the 2004 vs the 2000 in the future. 2004 also has lots of newer more reliable parts. MAF, new style coil packs, no ICM, 15HP more since sline, the 2004 has a Sport mode selection in the transmission while the 2000 doesnt.

But if looks dont matter, go for the 2000.

 

Thanks,

I've since found a few more - including some from the next generation (2005+) that I am considering - there are a number of 3.2L v6 models out there, for example:

2006 Audi A6 3.2 Drive this Audi A6 for 188.79 Biweekly - Greater Vancouver Area Cars For Sale - Kijiji Greater Vancouver Area Canada.

They are all $12-19k though. They look better and not sure if they are "worth" it.
