Will an a4 audi cost me alot in maintenance for the first 120k miles?

i would like to purchase an audi, but have heard it may end up costing me very much for maintenance throughout its life. but i was wondering if any major problems should be expected in the first 120k miles of easy driving?Will an a4 audi cost me alot in maintenance for the first 120k miles?if you are talking about a new audi then i would say that repairs will be more expensive than a domestic vehicle but you will need to get them done less often.Will an a4 audi cost me alot in maintenance for the first 120k miles?You do not mention the year of this car and if used, how many miles it currently has. Is it an auto or manual transmission?



Whether its easy driving or hard driving, if you let routine maintenance go by the wayside you can expect expensive bills down the road. In the first 120,000 miles of the life for the car you expect to change the timing belt water pump at least once, preferably twice by then. Axle shaft boots will probably have needed a rebuild by then as well as new control arms in the suspension. The engine mounts will need to have been replaced by then as well. If it's a manual transmission you could expect to change the clutch at least once in that timespan as well.



If you budget $2000 per year past the warranty period of the car you should be ok generally speaking.
