How many miles can an audi A6 quattro get with good maintenance before things start going wrong?

I am thinking about buying this car with 131k miles for my 16yr old and don't want to buy something that will be breaking down but need awd and this car is at a good price!How many miles can an audi A6 quattro get with good maintenance before things start going wrong?The key to a car like this will be finding one that has been very well cared for. You need to find a seller that can show you extensive receipts of all the repairs and maintenance done to the car.



An Audi is like any other European car, it will kill you in maintenance costs over time. Your son will either need to be a good mechanic or budget for repairs by a good local shop that knows Audi's.



Why do you need AWD? Winter driving? Buy him a cheap, reliable car and a set of snow tires, and he will be fine.How many miles can an audi A6 quattro get with good maintenance before things start going wrong?That is not a cheap car to keep on the road. Front end work is expensive and if it has not been done yet it will need it soon. Figure about $2000 to replace control arms and get an alignment. Next is the transmission if its an automatic be careful the tend to go out. Also timing belt needs to be done at 80,000 miles so check and see when the last one was done. All in all a nice, but not cheap car.
