I came from e46fanatics.com and x5world.com and through the years i have owned a 2003 BMW 330i and a 2001 BMW X5 (currently own). I am eyeing on a clean 2002 Audi A4 V6 5 speed manual, i like the look and it will be my daily driver, my X5 4.4i gargles gas, its so crazy its not even funny. I only have one question, is there any problems commonly on Audi B6 models at 80K miles?

I do maintenance for both of my BMWs and even write DIYs, how's the maintenance on Audi's? Pretty straight forward? cheaper than bimmers? Thank you all!

 

probally about the same price..but if it hasnt got the timing belt or the water pump changed u better get ready to do that very soon after u buy it..im bringing my 2002 with 68*** miles to audi wendsday to get my timing belt CHECKED for FREE

 

The cats go out on the 3.0 and the timing belt is a little more difficult to tackle. Have you looked into 1.8t's?

 

I think all v6 b6 a4's come with 6 speed (maybe not). LOL, i think Audis are more complicated than Bimmers )) But, if u know what you are doing it is all straight forward.
At 80K miles you would better have new timing belt.
Also check for any leaks, take a good a look at your differentials.
