According to Audi, this is still normal consumption ( 1 Ltr/1000 Km).
Check if it loses oil under car.

Like stated here consumption is probably in spec. according to Audi (and all
other manufacturers).
However, a litre/1000 km in my opinion always indicates that there's an
internal/external leak, blown head gasket or worse...
I'd _never_ buy this car unless dealer rectifies this problem.
Got an -98 A6 2.8 which I believe is the same "base-engine" except for
narrower bore and/or shorter stroke. At 90' km I never have to fill oil
between services (15' km).

Re: audi v6
I bought a 1998 A6 with the 2.8L engine in 2001 with 28,000 miles on it. It
went through a quart/litre about every 1000 miles. This continued for about
6-12 months, after which oil consumption dropped to nearly zero. I now can
go over 5000 miles, and use only about 1/2 quart/litre.
My assessment is that the first owner drove mostly in the city, with very
little higher speed driving, unlike me, where most of the miles are highway
miles. I believe that the rings never seated properly, allowing oil to blow
by. After I put about 15-20,000 highway miles on the car, they finally
seated, cutting consumption drastically.
No oil additives used, at least while I have had the car, which now has
71,000 miles.
