Buying the 2000 Audi A6
No 2000 Audi A6 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 2000 Audi A6, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the A6
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 148 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, service brakes and engine and engine cooling.
What the specs mean
The powertrain to know here is the 2.7L 6-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Expect about 39 litres for every 300 km, going by its 13.1 L/100 km combined rating. That works out to about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The length is 4.88 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the A6 on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the A6 tells you more than any review. Try the A6 on your commute, then decide.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Talk to a person
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
