02 A6 2.7T - good buy?

[rmbalisa]

So i am looking at an 02 A6 2.7T with only 58k. currently has a bumper to bumper warranty to early 2011 or 75k, actually its mechanical breakdown insurance. I would be 3rd owner and looks to be well taken care of. he wants $8500...does anyone think this is a great deal?

he had different things taken care of under the warranty and seems to be well taken care of...the only reason he is selling is to get a newer a6.
Here is what has been fixed since he bought this car in 3.5 years.

Alternator - Recently - Covered by Warranty
Cam Shaft seal - Was minor sweating of oil on the Gasket, I got it fixed because my warranty pays for all the seals.
New Front Brakes - Recently, not a Warranty item
New Tires and Alignment - Sears about 6000 miles ago - not a Warranty item
Front CV joint boots - both sides - Warranty items
Front wheel bearings - Warranty Item
Minor Suspension parts - Warranty Item
Regular maintenance - Oil change - After every 12 months - Last one was done in December.

what do you all think?

unless you know him personally or hes stupid, he could definately get more than 8500, especially with a warranty and 58k miles, what tranny?

Sounds good to me.

It's worth more than that.

Check the vehicle history for accidents/salvage/rebuilds.
Make sure title is in hand and watch out for a lien(s).

What tranny is it?

Double check functional shifting/reverse for tranny problems.

Have a mechanic check it out for damage reconstruction.

If non of these turn up as red flags, sounds like a good buy.

Sounds like a very good buy! You know, of course, that this breaks hearts of A6 owners to see price that low. Unless it's been in a car crash ....

Sounds real good, almost too good to be true, but hope it works out for you
