Question
Dear long,

I introduce my self as Amith. I saw a 1996 audi a6 from a dealer. iam confused whether i should take it or not. because in USA a second audi can be serviced only at a dealer. if the car gets a small fix i need to pay lot of money.so what is ur suggestion on buying this car and how many can i drive on it.

thanks,
amith

Answer
Amith, A6 is a very good car. You get a lot of value as long as the car has been serviced properly. The main components will last over 140,000 miles. Look at www.edmunds.com for the right value of the car you are considering. Good luck ( you can have any mechanic look at it. No need to take it only to dealers)
