#6896 of 6896 Keep or sell by taylorjeff Aug 19, 2009 (3:36 pm)
Currently driving 2003 A6 2.7T with 92000 miles. I bought off the lease and purchased an "Audi" warrenty good til 100K or 1/2010. Basically has been a great car. Previously had $1400 or warrenty work to replace some airconditioning fans but nothing else since coming off the lease at 50K. All scheduled maintenance has been done at dealer. I took in today for 90K maintenance. Cost is $380 plus rear brake pads and rotors need to be replaced at $550. Dealer is applying 15% off coupon so total cost around $850. They also found some transmission problems ($2000 to repair) and a camshaft seal leak ($450). According to dealer, these should be covered by warrenty. The dealer has also recommended changing the timing belt ($2400 I believe). So right now I'm out of pocket the normal maintenance and brake repair which is fine. Since I have the warrenty, my other $2450 should be covered less a $100 deductible. I can wait a while for the timing chain; Audi recommends at the 105K check up. If it would blow before 100K, the warrenty should cover. If I keep the car, I would think it wise to change around 100K. My concern is if I keep the car, will these types of repairs and costs continue at this level. If I didn't have the warrenty and had to pay these costs out of pocket I'd have $4950 in repairs over and above my routine maintenance. Granted, the timing belt is only done ever 100K but any number of other issues could pop up. If I thought an annual budget of $3000 would cover repairs I'd keep it, but I'm not sure that will be enough if and when I roll over 100K. For those of you who have kept your cars for longer periods what has been your experience? Advice?
