Thoughts on this Audi?

Looking to buy 2013 Audi A6 2.0T premium plus with 93,000 miles for $12,400. It thus a good buy. Car looks to be in very care. Does this car have a timing belt or chain.

Our answer:

Hi Michael,

That's a very rare petrol version of the A6 in Ireland. Its engine uses a timing chain.

This car is not as trouble-free as you might hope. We know of lots of minor, but annoying niggles, including water getting into the door locks, problems with the cruise control, seat adjustment and keyless entry and start, plus transmission gremlins. On top of all that, the petrol engine uses more oil than most will expect. In short, if you have your heart set on this car, make sure you go over it in detail to see if anything is not working as expected.
