Greetings,

Assuming that you respect the manufacture schedule maintenance and has been taken care of, will a new car likely show the first sign of trouble between 100 and 150k? What will most likely fail first?

Does anyone know if there is reliability data for an S4?

Thanks for your time and help.

 

Which S4?

I bought mine with a stack or records and only 70k. I have since had to put more money into maintenance and repairs than I did for the car itself. Just turned over to 87k this weekend.

A lot of vehicle issues are a dice roll, not every car will be the same. Some fall apart well before 100k (yay me) and others last and last.

 

Thanks for your input and sorry to hear about your woes. This will be my last car that I will change. Unless it becomes such a maintenance fee burden that I am no longer able to afford.

I planning on getting a new 2013 Premium plus with MMI, smart key and AT model. I am thinking of getting the Prestige package; however I am afraid that more electronics meant more prone to breakdown. So I just keep the bare minimum.
