Hey folks I am use to putting at least 200,000 on a car before selling. I enjoy a convertible and liked the look of the Audi so I bought one used 68,000 miles. (06 A4 cabriolet 1.8T) Did little home work just figured Audi was a good car and would hold up for several years and several thousand miles as all previous cars have done. Can I expect a few years of enjoyment or should I expect to spend $3k plus, every year as I did in the first month after buying this car. Spent 2k on TCM replacement, the rest was just getting all the regular maintanience caught up.

 

Any car (well not any) will do 200K as long as you don't abuse it and keep the maintenance up on it.

 

dont abuse the car and do a oil change every 5000km and stay up to date on timing belt changes and such and the car will live a long time

i currently have a jetta with the 1.8t and it has about 320,000 km and it is still going strong i just replace the timing belts early i do mine around 80,000km

 

sure it will - got a friend with A4 running 380,000 on it. Runs easy and very nice. Just keep nose clean and maintain car regularly.

 

My 2006 2.0T Q Avant has 335K and its still running great. I put at least 100K a year this past 2 years. Serviced by Audi dealer only.

 

Glad to know this! Thanks!
