Re: Audi MMI [hearthawk]
I also own a 2006 Audi Avant A6. Something drained my battery back in December and it locked my key in the ignition. I was able to charge enough to get it started but my MMI went blank. The dealer replaced a $1,500 Boze module, and a module for a tail light which I was not having any trouble with. When I picked it up I noticed the radio did not ... Read More

Same problem with 2004 Audi A6 CVT transmission
Well, it is very interesting to read about all of these Audi CVT transmission problems happening "just out of warrantly". I bought a 2004 Audi A6 in 2006 with about 27k miles. It seemed like a pretty safe bet to get a low-mileage Audi for under $19k with the balance of the manufacturer's warranty in place. Around 46-48k miles, I noticed a lunge when slowing down and the transmission would seem ... Read More

Re: Audi 2006 A6 audio problem [alp7]
I also have an Audi 2006 A6 and yesterday I experienced the exact same problem you had. Radio, CD, Nav, phone and MMI do not put out any sound. The mute icon appears, but I am unable to unmute or access the sound menu when in radio or CD. What was wrong / what needed to be repaired or replaced? Thank you

Followup for vibes while turning
I posted a while back some issues with my wife's 2005 A6. Summary: Slow tight turns, such as into a garage or parking space caused a low vibration that shook the entire vehicle. My Jeep with lockers turned quieter and smoother. Despite efforts with replacing tires and such, the dealership continually told us "working as expected". Well, don't let me loose on the Internet. :) I found several TSB's that addressed ... Read More

Re: 2007 Infiniti G35x VS. 2006 Audi A6 3.2 Quattro [thenatureboy]
I was also torn between these two cars. It came down to reliability and hp for me. This car is my daily driver and I cannot afford to have it in the shop at all. Therefore the Audi was out. Why pay for an extended warranty. Then you are expecting to have problems with the car. I just couldn't buy a car that pretty much required getting an extended warranty. Extremely ... Read More

Re: A6 Quattro Vibrations [lexusguy]
Hi Guys, Thanks for your replys to my 2006 Audi A6 vibration issues. The good news is I have not bought this car yet and probably won't.

In "Snow Mode", it pushes 50% of it's power to the front wheels, making it great in the snow, so no worries there. As for mileage, the Audi may get a slight nod, but it's ... Read More

Re: 2006 Audi A6 purchase/lease [Car_man]
Odd....but I've found that also to be true. Dealers do not discount demos to the level of used low mileage vehicles. Yet as a buyer I'd prefer a low mileage one owner used vehicle over a demo. Odds favor that it was taken much better care of and not abused. Demos are usually ridden hard and put away wet from mile number one.

Hi dras. This isn't a naive question at all. Unfortunately, it is already too late to get a great deal on lease of a 2006 Audi. Not only has Audi stopped providing lease support on 2006 models, but it even cut its dealer cash on them by $1,000 this month. You would be much better off waiting to lease a 2007 model in March of next year. Not only is is ... Read More

Re: 2006 Audi A6 purchase/lease [lyndonw]
Check out some of the earlier posts. 2006 A6s have been selling brand new for $6000 under invoice. I bought a 4.2 A6 for about $10k below MSRP and they were offering the same deal on the 3.2s. This was Audi of Alexandria in VA. You may want to shop around more, unless this is all that's left and you're hooked. By the way, I have about 2000 miles on mine ... Read More

Re: S6 - the temporary king of the LPS class? [lexusguy]
That has been a recurring theme for me -- the '05 - '07 A6's (for instance) are very similar. My all optioned '05 does not have a backup camera. Most of the '07's don't either, but it can be had. A new '07 A6 configured as mine is would be almost impossible to pick out from a lot full of 05's - 07's. New functions, features, safety, or whatever haven't come ... Read More

I doubt they'd sell an A6 for that price (I may be wrong...). That would mean they're releasing an A6 for cheaper than they're selling most of the A4's...

Guys, Im in So CAL and looking to get the same deals like u guys. 9000 off MSRP.

Re: Any word on Sept. '07 A6 residuals/MF? [petrie3]
Here's the information that you're looking for, petrie3. You never mentioned how long you want to lease this car for and what sort of mileage allowance you need, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 ... Read More

Re: 2006 A6 3.2 Quattro MF and residual? [sfcharlie]
Hey Charlie. I don't know if you have leased yet or not, but for the month of September Audi decided to stop providing lease support on 2006 models. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because the dealer cash that it is providing on them was not compatible with Audi Financial Services' special lease money factors anyhow. Your best bet is to lease this car through an independent bank and use the ... Read More

Re: I still [lexusguy]
Maybe you misread my post. I think the RL is better from a depreciation standpoint than most any domestic, not worse. Kelly Blue Book says, "The 2006 RL is expected to have a higher than average residual value after 5 years. Less than the M35 but higher than the Audi A6 and the Cadillac STS". This is hardly the worst in class.

Looking for a good independent bank to lease an A6
Hi I'm interested in taking the $6,000 in dealer cash Audi is offering on the 2006 A6 3.2s and then leasing through an independent bank, since you can't take both the cash and get special lease deals from Audi. Anybody been able to find a bank which offers decent residuals and money factors for this car? I'm looking for numbers on 36 months/15,000 miles. Thanks!

It merits some attention for that fact alone. Of course if it drives and rides like it costs $10,000 less, well then it isn't much competition for the X3. Here in LPS land, ... Read More
