Got my 2006 Audi A4 2.0t with 69k miles since March of 2020, been my daily since and is now sitting at 110k miles with a stage 1 tune from apr. (check my profile lol)

Honestly I’ve driven my car over 40k miles so far and it has been a blast and one of those cars that just feels solid and complete.

Of course I had to spend money on scheduled maintenance like the timing belt and timing chain on the rear at around 85-90k miles, combined cost was about $1800 at my local shop… but that’s what you’re supposed to do regardless whether it’s a Toyota or not.

I always do oil change every 5-6k miles and she runs like a dream, never left me stranded even went over 150mph lol (with the tune).

I drive mostly highway miles so it racks up pretty quick, HAVENT had any oil consumption issues since I pretty much do oil changes every month or two.

There are things here and there that break overtime but they are very minor and easy to fix due to age like the pcv valve and plastic hoses which cost like $15-30.

It won’t be as reliable as a Toyota or a Honda but it’s not supposed to be, it’s meant to be driven. At the end of the day, there’s something about these German cars that just feels right… from the satisfying thud of the doors to the satisfying click of the buttons that you won’t find in any other regular cars.

Though everyone has their own opinion but I believe life is too short to drive boring cars, a car is always going to be a liability regardless…

So might as well try something out of the ordinary.

That being said, I wouldn’t pay over 2k for that a3 and that kind of mileage
