It's hard to say what my bill was as I was under warranty, although i did have to bring it in for a few minor items, one was the rear window not working properly which i hear is about $800. I brought it in once for the gas gage not working , but was when they looked at it, so I don't think it was replaced and malfunctioned again this weekend for a day. The warranty I was referring to was the Audi warranty.

I'm in the process of purchasing an Audi Platinum 7 yr/70K warranty. My price quote was nearly over $700 less than yours.
 
I personally am in favor of it. The Audi A6 is a great car but complex and prone to little glitches that cost a lot to repair. This year alone, I've had over $2500 of warranty-covered repairs to it (defective adaptive light, sun roof stuck open, door creaking, adaptive light again, etc...). I would not take this car out of warranty without an EW. Granted, it will not cover as much as the factory warranty, but is better than going "commando". Yes, on average, one may or may not pay $2500 in repairs during the life of the warranty, but with an Audi, it doesn't take that many repairs to cover it, and the peace of mind is definitely a factor to consider...

this is helpful, i called audi, they can offer a 6yr/60 mile for 1752, plus $240 for turbo, and $375 for a no deductable. I called a 3rd party, American Mercury. They have a 5 year, 75k mile that starts now, unlike the 6 yr which starts the year of the car. Mercury has that one for $2405, plus $125 no deductable. They say the only thing it doesn't cover is the safety belts, air bags, and speakers.. Strange. Only question is this worth it, probably, will they stay in business? who knows..

Yeah, tough call. I personally would go with the Audi warranty. I would presume there is less haggling when it is time to pay the service center...

I am looking at Buying a pre-owned A6. I do not know anyone first hand that has this car. I have a couple of questions:
1) Roomy in side?
2) Maintenance on the car high or low?
3) How is the trunk space?
4) Good Family car?
 
whatever feedback anyone can offer would be great thank you.

Hi,
 
I've owned from new a 2000 A6 2.7T, 2003 A6 2.7T and currently a 2007 A6 3.2. They have proven to be reliable, fun to drive and IMHO good looking. They have spacious interiors as well as being the benchmark for interior layout and quality for the industry. The trunks are large (15.4 cu. ft.) and the rear seats fold down as well for added capacity. The Quattro all wheel drive system gives added security in poor driving conditions as wheel as feeling "glued to the road". If your looking used make sure car is certified by Audi. Repairs are costly and, frankly, I wouldn't own a complex car like this one without it being warrantied.

thank you for you reply. I would only look at a certified one but my question is how often have you needed repairs?

Xenon replacement by jim198
Jan 06, 2008 (11:10 am)
Reply
Hello,
Is it possible to replace my Xenon bulb in my 1999 A6 myself? The Auto Zone guy said only the dealer should do it. The bulb in question is the round one in the plastic housing. By the the way, the plastic housing has condensation on the inside of it--is this normal or a source of the problem? I'm new to the forum and new to cars but pretty handy so your advice is appreciated!
