I don't know what model you have, but my 2000 2.7T burns oil also. I changed the oil and filter about 1,500 miles ago,with castrol syntec 5w-30. I checked the level on Sunday, and it was 2 quarts too low. I do have a very minor oil leak, but WTF! 2 quarts...

I have a 2002 A6. i got an oil signal and the car stalled immediately. I had it flatbedded to a good service person i am getting good oil pressure at the oil pump but none on the top end. He said he thinks I have major engine damage & suggested I have it taken to Audi dealer. It has 72K miles and has had good service. Any "silent reacalls" due to oil not getting to the top end??

Don't buy it! Do not own any audi with over 60k miles. I bought one new and the motor just blew 72k. I maintained it well. Get a jap car.

Do you have an extended service plan on this car? Was the oil level up to the proper level on the dipstick when the oil light came on?

No I mean did you just change the oil filter prior to this incident.
 
If you did, and it wasn't an Audi filter, that could be your problem. Audis do NOT like other people's oil filters.

2000 A6 4.2 by rwolff

I've found a 2000 A6 4.2 with 106,000 miles in mint condition priced at 12,500. The car seems to be a creampuff but I am of course concerned about the miles, having been an Audi owner the last eight years and knowing the problems that can occur. However, this car has been maintained very well and seems great. Any opinions on the pricing and reliablity of this model?

The price is market correct, no bargain, no rip-off.
 
With those miles probably the best you can do is have the car thoroughly checked over and a list made of any deficient items...I mean have an Audi shop really dig into that car, test everything, pull the wheels, check for leaks, bad hoses, worn belts, weak shocks, unusual tire wear, possible collision damage, water leaks, etc. etc.
 
My guess is that a well-kept car like that has lots of life left but that you will be bedeviled by electrical issues from time to time.
