Explore the 2001 Audi A6

Fast, reliable, very high quality luxurious beast

Bought it with 192,000 miles on it and it runs like new. Got it for 2750 had to replace the struts and shocks, a fan belt, needed a new exhaust and a few other minor fixes. The engines in great shape no tranny problems. Think I might need a new fuel pump but other than that it's in very good condition. I was amazed at how it drove it was like brand new. This car is pretty fast and has a quick pick up and amazingly fast acceleration. Fun car to race. Has incredible handling taking tight turns and on winding roads. It's quattro technology and stabilization option make weather no problem, this car has no problem going 70 plus in snow and heavy rain. It's luxurious on the inside with alot of high tech stuff for a 2001. I got the sedan and have had it for 6 months now, i bought it off an old man and its only had 2 owners before me. Its in excelent condition, good buy I love it.

Completely a luxurious, reliable road companion.

My A6 was a reliable vehicle. I drove considerable distances over the 9 years I owned the vehicle and never experienced a moment's doubt as to its safety and reliability - not to mention that I was riding in the lap of luxury. Yes, the costly to maintain, but a beautiful car nonetheless - a classic.

I have enjoyed putting all 104,000 miles on it.

I have loved this car, it is FUN to drive. I have the A6 4.2 V8 Quattro. People who see it can't believe it's 19 years old. We have taken care of it. Last mechanic that worked on it said it is a clean car in incredible shape.

225,000 and still runs great

This is the 2.7T 6 speed. I bought it with 210,000 miles on it. I was not going to do it but when I drove it, it was to tight that I bought it that night. Then it flew through the mechanical inspection. I drove it to Colorado to California - no problems. Now has 230,000 and I have had it about 3 years. Had to fix the passenger power window, and new struts. The fuel pump also gave out. Now I am replacing an alternator. Pretty minor stuff to own this fun car. Drives like new with those new struts. I paid 3500 for this car. I can afford a few repairs to save tens of thousands of dollars with very low owner taxes.Everything works, even the weird security system.

performance and utility

Going up to the mountains has never been more fun. No stress about conditions ever, my only issue is with a couple of plastic parts (cup holder broke and small face plate came off) Other than that, its been a dream. Currently at 135k and going strong.

230,000 and going strong

I have the rare A6 2.7T 6 speed. I bought it with over 200,000 miles a a good maintenance record That was three years ago. It still runs like new and is fast and fun. I had to replace the struts, fuel pump, and fix a power window. I have driven it about 25,000 since I bought it on the California freeways. Also drove it from CO to California. I talked to the previous owner and he did the maintenance required and never had a major repair. It passed the post purchase inspection easily. Cost me $3500.00 plus repairs mentioned for three years of fun driving. Not bad when you figure a new Audi will cost you thousands to drive off the showroom floor.

2001 A6 2.7T, 6 Speed - Awesome

Bought my A6 2.7T, 6 speed 3 years ago. It had 210,000 miles on it. The past owner was very conscientious and it was in great shape. The night I tested it, I bought it on the spot. Only maintenance has been a fuel pump, power window repair, and new struts. This is a 4 door sports car. With the 6 speed transmission (very rare) it is so fast and responsive that I just love driving it. Only paid 3,500 for this incredible machine. Lucky me! I will keep fixing it (when it needs it). You cannot buy anything like this now. Not the same car with an automatic transmission. How lucky to stumble on to this one night.

Reliable but costly

Its a great vehicle and can last a long time with proper maintenance. But the maintenance itself is costly. Even for the year that I have the car, its still good on power. after reaching 200K+ I've been getting more problems.
