A neighbor has hinted he would sell me his A6 for $2500. It has ~150K miles on it and it has been maintained by an Audi dealer until about 6 months ago. It needs a paint job and few dings fixed but the interior is okay. He is the original owner and was hoping to reach 1,000,000 miles with it but I think he got tired of the mounting maintenance costs. He now drives a Crown Victoria. I'm not very familiar with this car but am a pretty good wrench. What kind of things should I be looking at to avoid an expense time bomb?

Thanks for the reply. I heard the timing belt on this is a tragic fail if you don't get to them in time. I suspect this dude already changed it once and its due again. I'm not interested in paying someone else to do this for me so what do I need to do it myself? Also, it would help to see complete maintenance schedule for the A6. I'd like to know what I'm for if I take this on. Is his price fair?

 

I have an 03 Audi a6. Purchased last year for 1,800

 

310K kilometers. Gearbox rebuilt last year, at about the same mileage. (Car was standing so far, this year, as I spent 4mnths in hospital, due to this dreaded Covid - thsnks to Fauci & Gates). Mechanically sound otherwise, apart from normal maintenance, ie cambelt, brakes etc.

Lots of hassles with electronics though.

Pleasant drive though

 

It is a lot! I just recently decided to change tires and used to purchase special forget wheels at https://rng-t.com/ which provides a really good service. They are made from aluminum, solid and are pretty affordable. I really like black color, that makes the car to look amazing, in contrary to the general color ( it is silver).

I'm the second owner of the car and the car was 90 % seen original parts. Although there was not any problems I refurbished motor and gearbox with mostly original parts (Exceptions: Pistons are not Mahle, Goetze).

Open to get in touch with same model/year owners
