Its not the powertrain I worry about, its the rest of the car... electronics, gadgets, etc.
I still might consider a 4.2 A6 is I can find a good deal on one under factory warranty still.

Actually it's a full stainless cat back twin 2.5" system with real mufflers - four of them in total. The tips are 3.5" double formed. Flows well and is rated at no more than 96 decibels.
Hardly rice or fart cans. Quite a bit quicker than a Mustang as well.

I was at the ATCO Jersey NMRA race helping out Charlie Booze. He broke the crank on the first qualifying pass.
Have fun dude!

For a while I was looking at 07/08 A6 and A8s but was ultimately discouraged by all the horrible reliability ratings and talk from owners on Audi forums. They're such sweet cars, damn shame
|
I bought it at auction. If you like the S6/S8s a lot of them should be coming on the market off lease this fall and drive the cost down a bit more. I haven't had any problems with it. I've been driving Audis for a while and over that time I've built up a tolerance for increased maintenance.
The car that really pisses me off is my wife's Lexus IS 250. I was expecting that to be reliable and it's been a piece of **** with buggy electronics.

Idk what the white spot is on the hood, it's probably a drop in the camera lens or something. I saw it I was like WTF! but I saw nothing on the hood.
