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.

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 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.
