A6 opinions?
Hi
Posted earlier about the clutch "problem" with the A6 I'm looking at
but can somebody give me an opinion on cost of ownership of an A6?
The car I'm looking at is a 2000 X reg 1.9tdi SE 81k on the clock and
I've got them down to £6395 from the original asking price of £6995.
It's got a full Audi service history up to 65k when the cambelt was
changed. Test drove it briefly and apart from the stiff clutch the car
drifted to the right fairly noticably. Garage say they'll give it a
full 12 month mot, service it and fix the drifting. I've also noticed
the front bumper has dropped as a result of what looks like a small
shunt...scuffing on the bumper itself. Again garage are saying this
will also be sorted. Not convinced about the servicing bit so I'll get
an Audi service if I get it.
What are peoples thoughts on the deal? Anything major I should look
out for in the future? Looking to keep the car for 3 - 4 years.
All comments appreciated.
cheers

Re: A6 opinions?
Well, I would not touch it.
Is there any documentation for the 20K miles its done since it dropped out
of dealer servicing?
If the tracking is out then it was probably abused.
The dealer will say anything to make a sale.
If you need the size consider a Passat. See CarGiant for prices
http://www.gtccar.co.uk or go down to an A4.
The money you are looking at would buy you an 02 plate 1.9PD Passat !

The Passat is built on the A4 floorplan so it's no bigger.

Why would there be? It hasn't needed a service since it last had one.
Although I thought it was due to be serviced at 80k the actual service
indicator on the car says it needs one in another 5k. It's a one owner
fleet car. So what kind of documentation would you expect since the
last service?

Yeh, but it's a Passat?
I like Audi. And I like the A6. Ok I'mtaking a little risk but the car is reasonably priced.
