Re: Questions about buying a used Audi A6
I tend to agree with Ed re: expense of repairing these cars - but you
mentioned you were interested in a CPO car - assuming the warranty is
similar to a new car warranty in terms of covered repairs, I'd be
comfortable getting one. But as Ed implied, these are complex cars,
especially with the twin turbo engine. There are plenty of people out
there who have had problems, and there are plenty who have had no
issues. You just need to do ALL of the preventative maintenance on
these cars as scheduled, if not a little earlier.

I love the CPO program. I personally think it's great.
I have 2001 A6 2.8 quattro (bought in 2004) and 2002 A6 3.0 quattro
(bought in 2005). Both are running with no problems. Well, the 2002
had to have the fuel pump replaced - covered under warranty. No fuss.
I think the S4 is more performance oriented compared to the A6, tho. I
test-drove an S4 and S6 while shopping (for the above A6's). Too stiff
on my back. I'm gettin' old! (plus, the potholes in Philadelphia are
murders on these sport-tuned suspension...) LOL.
