Audi A6

Well, here I go again. In an attempt to be true to the form, I have purchased 2004 Audi A6 2.7T Quattro with 79K miles on it. I need to mention THE FORM. The form is that I purchase a higher mileage 3 year old vehicle and use it for a year. 2003 Acura TL Type S being the previous one, 2004 Audi A6 2.7T Quattro should make quite a good replacement.
First things first. Interior is a good notch better than Acura. You get a feeling that someone cares for you somewhere in Germany. I will fail to describe it. It is like moving from a high volume highway to a serene scenic drive. I hope you get the picture.
Now, there is nothing serene about A6 abilities. Well, having said that, I should mention that in case that you want to drive serenely, by all means, it is your choice and the vehicle will accommodate your desires. Let’s imagine, for the purity of the conversation, that you desired to push it to its limits, wave through the lanes and take some sharp turns. All of a sudden you realize that all that time you have had a tiger in your hands. Effortless high speed corners, thanks to Quattro all-wheel drive, abundant torque at any rpm, thanks to nearly perfect gear ratio and twin-turbo under the hood, gives you a feeling of driving a smaller and sportier vehicle.
The cons are simple. There are significantly higher repair costs then average. I have had to replace the timing belt along with one of the sensors. The whole thing offset me $450 (it is likely to be $1000 at the dealer). So consider significantly higher maintenance and repair costs.
I hope you can find this info useful.

I bought the 96 Audi A6 with 106k miles on it expecting to get another 70 to 100k miles out of it. There were a lot of small things wrong with the car that the dealer didn’t mention in the auction. But the car drove well so I bought it anyway. I took the car to my mechanic a week after I bought it (first appointment I could get) and he called me back shortly and said that everything under it was rusted very badly. Fuel line brake lines, control arms, brake calipers were so bad that he said when it breaks it is really going to go. He called it a rust bucket and that it was a big mistake buying it. The car seems like a nice car, it drives great. It is my first Audi and I would buy another but I would check it out personally in detail and have a mechanic check it out before buying it.

Love all the features, rear heated seats, utility, economy and power.
I decided to buy because of the great upscale reputation Audi has.
Also the quattro option gives me confidence in bad weather.
I love it!!!

engin and transmition are great interior wounderful and of course the body is spactacular!Title was to the T with the miles im from Virginia and drove it home with no problem so that makes it reliable aswell!

This is the second A6 with a 4.2 I have purchased on Ebay. Shipping time wasn't too bad , but the dealer had issues with the bank and it took about 4 months to ge the title.I was a little nervous over this Ebay deal. My hands were tied as I am in Alaska and the car was in Illinois.
I like the 2002 model better than the 2001 I purchased earlier. Subtle differences, but enough to warrant getting an 02 versus 01 or earlier.
The car is loaded with the sports edition and I love it. I do not like the cost of maintenance and upkeep or especially repairs. I love the German Engineering, but for practicality along with performance I will probably go with Japanese next time

Thanks John(seller).
This car handles great. And with mileage of 107000 this vehicle has plenty of life left. I purchased this vehicle for $3250, and the Kelly Blue Book value was over $6000. There are only minor issues with this car.
Thanks again, Bill(buyer).

This car, first and foremost, gets its fair share of "oohs" and "aahs" from friends and family (and envious neighbors)!!!

I bought this car on eBay from an independent dealer who knew and loved Audis. He went the extra mile to help a first-time Audi owner with the transfer of warranties and other paperwork.

The car is loaded with high-tech gadgetry and things can (and will) go wrong. Get an excellent Audi CPO warranty! This will put the smile back on your face (fast) in the dealer's service area.

The handling is great but the seats are indeed a bit stiff. The AudiWorld.com forum is an amazing support group for these cars and they also delve into maximizing the car's features and performance. Satellite radio helps the sound system show what it can do.

eBay made this transaction possible with the security of their buyer protection program. Before paying the balance of the purchase price on a bank draft, I used one of the two major inspection services to check out the car - and I'm glad I did.

So far (45 days later) this has been a fun adventure.

Without (amazing) eBay, I would not have bought this amazing car!

Purchased on ebay from FL with 35K, 2 yrs ago (still under factory warranty in 2006). Generally pleased with the car. Very sharp; styling and creature comforts are great. Excellent stereo and quick. Quality is lacking, though, coil went; trunk lid wouldn't lock; A/C leaked; Cat Converter replaced (under warranty).

i've crashed my 97 A6, bought this one for spare parts. =almost= as advertised. drove it from providence, ri to westfield,nj without a problem. next day power windows stopped working, didn't figure out yet if it's a fuse or more complicated issue. was filled with wrong antifreeze type that actually causes corrosion of engine, changed it next day. computer show the oil level is low, even after the right oil change -> sensor is malfunctioning, I guess. hvac system had 6 fault codes, both flap motors are out. when in "diff" mode, vehicle leans badly to the right, some noise is coming from the rear (wheel bearings, maybe). some interior trims are missing, rear wiper is not working. Missing valve cover. All lighting is good, leather is in pretty good condition. in other words, for 1850, it's worth the money. i'm satisfied with the transaction.

I did have to spend a few thousand replacing parts ect.. but at the price I purchased this car it was worth it as it now drives like the great car it is.
