I just bought a 2006 Audi A4 3.2 Quattro with 48k miles on it. The car is in excellent condition. I haven't picked it up yet because the place I bought it from is still preparing it.

I'm new to owning nice cars (especially Audi) and everyone told me that if I take good care of it I won't have any problems.

I would like some advice on some of the things I should be doing to keep my A4 well maintained (filters, oil changes, tires etc..). Also, what things can I do myself to save money?

 

i bring my car in for the scheduled maintenance to the audi dealership. i'd recommend having your car serviced at an audi dealership too. they know your car inside out. i also change the oil every 5000 miles. be sure to use a VW 502 approved oil. i use mobil 1 0w-40. i don't bother doing anything myself either. when i start the car i let the RPMs drop to the normal 750-800 RPM before i go.

 

If you have not done the deal, I wold advise finding a certified pre-owned car. That gives you a 100K mile warranty instantly. You are taking your chances with a erman car with no warranty. I always buy certified.
