Default Deciding which 2000 Audi A6 2.8 or 2.7T

I want you guys advice whether to go with Audi A6 2.8 or 2.7T

Audi A6 2.7T has 75K miles fully loaded with memory seats, heated seats (all four), Backup Sensors - asking for $11500. It also has K&N Filter.

Audi A6 2.8 has 86K miles standard options with heated seats. asking for 11000

Both have recent Tires

Which one is better. I like audi A6 2.7T except its color (Green).

What do I need to look for b4 buying

2.7T comes with only one key, how hard is to get one from Ebay? Are they reliable? Anyone have brought keys through Ebay, please let me know the seller.

well it depends on what u are gonna use the car for and wat you are gonna do with the car. if ur not looking to mod and need something reliable. i think the 2.8 engine is as reliable as they come. the 2.7T is heavily moddable and can go a great extent on em, as long as they are stick. both are nice cars

Thanks for the response.

Both are automatic.

I'm not planning to mod now, may be later.

I test drive 2.8 it looks very slow in response. Did you feel a lot while merging into freeway?

i was in the same situation as you and found the 2.7T significantly better.
You got a great price though, I bought mine for 13k with more miles but it was slick clean.

This is also clean, Only damage is the little scratch in the bumper. It has new tires (only 2000 miles on it). I brought warranty for 2K to cover me for the next 36K miles and 3 yeears.

you got great deal!
Where did you get the warranty? i have been thinking about it (e.g. autorepairwarranty.com) and i am not sure if it's necessary.
for example, i need to replace the timing belt, i dont think that's covered right?
did you replace yours?

I got the warranty through my Credit Union. I heard it is good. As per the warranty they wont cover the regular maintenance. If you have a problem with timing belt they will change.
