The car is in good to decent condition it is a 2002 Audi a6. Has about 110k-120 miles on it. I was wondering how much should I expect to pay in maintenance and possible repairs in the next year as I hear audi I a very expensive car to maintain.|||You can do a search through Google by typing '2002 Audi A6 reliability'.
According to MSN Autos,
an occasional problem on this vehicle (3.0L engine only), is the failure of the Ignition Coils.
The cost to replace the Ignition Coils is estimated at $23.00 for each coil and $65.00 for labor. Problems with the Ignition Coils are identified in TSB #010301. All prices are estimates based on $65.00 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.
Audis, being luxury cars, costly to maintain and service. Older Audis also have a bad reputation for reliability, with the main issues in the engine or electrics.
According to whatcar.com, the suspension is the most likely area to give trouble so listen out for clunks on your test drive.
Check the electrics thoroughly - particularly the windows and warning lights.
Ignition coil failure affected 1.8T engines for a while - ensure coils have been replaced.
If the one you are after is the 2.7 twin Turbo version, take note that turbos are expensive to repair when they spoil.
But if your model looks great, and you are convinced that it would be generally good, then go for it if you wish-- the A6 is lovely and quiet, with ample long-distance cruising ability and a great cabin. It is one of the classiest luxury executive car.
Good luck. Sorry I couldn't directly answer your question about maintenance bills.
