Good driving German car with exceptional traction. However, it's difficult to get parts and expensive to maintain.

I bought this car new over 20 years ago. Even though I have had various repairs done, I still cannot part with it. 163000 miles, Yea the paint is pealing, but it still drives better than my Subaru, Land cruiser, or mercedes Benz. Never had the engine apart, no transmission issues, no electrical issues. 3 output shaft seals, rear brake rotors, calipers, parking brake cables, these are the aggrivating repairs. Also 3 water pumps, timing belts. But the car sure drives nice. Probably should thing of getting rid of it , but just can't part ways. Nothing drives like a Quatro in rain or snow.

This is a nice car. I just can imagine an A8 after this. Very reliable on the rain/snow. You have the most advanced AWD syatem in the world.

Buy a USED Audi

I bought a 1997 Audi A6 with 70,000 miles about 3 years ago for $13000 CDN. It needed a steering rack when I bought it. Since that time I replaced the catalytic converters, ignition switch and brakes and tires. Probably 1500.00 average for repairs. It runs great and if you do the math, it is the only way to buy a safe luxury car. I absolutely love it. About a year ago I was rear ended. The other car had to be towed away, and I had a small licence plate mark in the paint. Id buy another Audi in an instant.

Exceptional deal at 10,000 cash and 31,000 miles on odometer. Receiving poor gas mileage, but rest of vehicle is fantastic. A tad bit slow for todays driving.
