The 2.4 already a very old model,at least 6 yrs old,for Audi,6 yrs old alot of problem 'may' comes in.

Yeap you are correct. Be Merc, Bmw or A6; wear and tear issues could just be the same issue.

 

The current COE has gone up so much, and I am not willing to pay too much on car depre....the only option is to go for older cars.

my friend own one, smooth drive for 2.4 V6 NA engine.

I have fren/s who owned Benz, Merc & Audi, All German made

But frankly and no disrespect to all Audi & Beemer, their parts and maint are way above board,.

 

Best option is Merc, whereby parts is readily available, slightly cheaper to maintain and value for money.

 

Driven a Merc and will buy back a Merc in near future.

 

FC are quite the same here, but that depends on how heavy-footed one accelerate or hard braking.

A friend has one. had to keep topping up with steering fluid. typical wear and tear.

Some older German models are not just so simple as "wear & Tear" issue,these cars have alot of electronic,that cannot be detected easily,well,also depends on how the 1st owner treat their car...anyway,look for cars with low mileage is adviceable.

frankly, the smoothness of its V6 is no where near that of the cefiro............

No you are wrong,Audi's V6 IS much smoother than Nissan's,compare with my 370z.

MY goodness...hearing this makes me give up the idea. I was looking at W211 and E60 as well. Just that dealers are all pushing the prices up quite a fair bit due to COE rise. Such cars have been on sgcarmart for almost 6 months UNSOLD....now they are taking the advantage.

370Z is a different category. Cefiro and 370Z are built differently and with a different chasis to begin with :)

I used to drive an old merc W124, and I know the original parts are even cheaper then OEM part of other makes. Its just that the depre has gone up quite a fair bit, and making driving an older merc nearly as costly as a new one...thanks to all blood sucking dealers.

fwah... that's a hell load of stuff

 

once continental makes are > 5 yrs old, a lot of parts need to be replaced

 

it's no joke, my friend spent > $10K to repair his merc

 

explains why continental cars > 5 yrs old are so much cheaper than newer continental cars

Hi, I am a current owner

 

(1) FC for the above model - 7-8km/l

(2) Maintenance of the vehicle (Anything in particular for me to take note) - I send my car to VAG for usual wear & tear replacements. You can look for Chan or Darren. For cheaper alternative, you can also go to Servotronic, look for Philip or Dennis

Maintenance is "normal" for conti

(3) Any other to take note - handling is crisp, drives well. No major problems. Electronic sensors cranky at times.

 

If you can, better to get the A6 C6 2.0T or the 3.2L, it drives better.

 

There's a thread on A6 C6 and a bro is selling a nice "S6"
