New buyer A4 3.0 Quattro, help?

[guhbuhjuh]

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I am in the market for a 03' or 04' a4 3.0 quattro. I was on audiworld.com and read alot of forum posts about reliability issues but I am also assuming people have problems because they do alot diy stuff to their cars? Anyway, I am now worrying probably more than I should be about the a4's reliability. As audi owners, honestly, how is the a4's reliability? Am I gonna have to spend an arm and a leg on maintenance? I plan to finance the vehicle for 5 years, about 40,000 miles on it... thanks for the help guys.

There can be faults and problems with any make and model of car,if you have a read through the A4 B6 threads you will get the idea of the main types of problems reported but this does not apply to all, some can be classed as lemons i suppose and also problems can arise from driving styles/lack of maintenance etc.. As long as the one your thinking of buying has a full service record it should be fine with only 40 k on the clock
