    I do not get why people think @ 185k miles the car should be complety worn out. I have driven VW/Audi diesels for 30 years and petrol's before that. I have done huge mileages. Even at 300k they can be great daily drivers. It is as long as they have been regularly serviced. I also do not understand why people check the number plates thinking replacement is a sign of crash damage. I have had to replace many original dealer fitted number plates due to them failing. Usually it is water ingress or sun damage or even a big stone hitting one.

      It really depends on the owners but the odds or not really in your favour. It like loading more bullets in a gun when playing Russian roulette. I've got to 207k miles on a vehicle with no issues. I wouldn't trust someone else to do the same.

      New number plates on an old car can be like a facelift that really smartens the car up! Number plates that are worn out, faded, starting to delaminate, screw caps gone walk-about and the screws rusted and dribbled brown stains down...urgh! Replaced the originals on my 18 year old Audi (262,000 miles). Freshened it up no end. Kind of a shame to lose the original dealer marks, but no regrets, it takes years off the appearance! The old ones never got mentioned at MOTs, but I've seen plenty of advisories for bad plates on other cars. I'd be more surprised to see original plates still on a car over 10 years old, not exactly suspicious.

      Still spins like a top. Has as many more km left. And very reliable. Only changed the cvt gearbox as these were Nissan's first cvts that came with the gremlins.

I put 40000 on it with no problems as a workhorse,, well serviced but then alternator went, changed it and it developed a "choking" problem the moment it hit 60mph and hit limp mode. Tried sorting with a fair few things and all it did was make it fast through to 60mph tyhen boom back into limp. Couldnt be bothered any more and got rid but lovely car for the money.

      A friend of mine refers to this as 'Bangernomics' - the economics of driving a cheap car vs. the headaches of financing a new car or the heartache of running something with a couple of years' depreciation.

    • @dj_efk
      @dj_efk 2 роки тому +3

      Totally agree - the fun part is, how long can you keep it going with just servicing and consumables?
      Personally I get too attached to cars and suddenly find myself replacing worn trim and booking them into my local bodyshop to get them perfect - so in practice this doesn’t work for me, but for example my brother in law bought a 65k mile 59 plate mk7 Firsta TDCI Titanium last year for £1800. I serviced it, replaced a few worn badges / bits of trim and also a few mechanical bits for the MOT, total cost £2100. He now has a reliable car that costs comparatively nothing to insure, tax and fuel that he’ll keep going until it dies - and is worth a few hundred quid more than this should he ever need to part with it, as they seem to have risen in value recently! That’s good Bangernomics for sure, as he isn’t sentimental like me!

    Matt, I know you're no fan of this generation A6 and I'd agree the standard VAG front wheel drive setup makes the drive a touch dreary. However, I'd say based on build quality alone, this C6 generation A6 is the pick of the Audi/Bm/Merc trio of its time. They are beautifully constructed and have the tightest panel gaps, interiors are also top-notch and hide their miles so well. Cambelt/waterpump changes are inexpensive and don't cause mechanics any headaches, beyond that there's not much else to worry about other than DMF and avoiding the multutronic gearbox. If you don't mind putting the fuel in, the V6 diesel is glorious.
    When you've owned and done considerable mileage in all 3 of the german trio of this generation pretty much in succession, you really appreciate where the A6 excels. The E60 5 series, especially the early ones were flaky at best and didn't drive as well as the E39. An equivalent E class with 4 pot diesel and manual gearbox is nothing to write home about. The best drive of the lot with bags of feel good factor is the Jag XF, although at this age they are criminally unreliable, as I've discovered.
    As an all-rounder that does everything perfectly adequately you can't beat an old A6. I'd go against the grain if I had another and buy an SE over an S-line, much nicer ride.
    Keep up the good work. 👍

    Hi Matt. Great to see one of these Audi A6 C6 cars getting a High Peak review especially because I own a 2006 Avant model. I can honestly say that this is the best car I've ever owned and I've had BMWs and Mercs in the past. Yes it's a bit bland in the styling department and 2.0tdi isn't going to get the pulse racing. But they are well built and extremely reliable. If you do want your heart beat racing try the RS6 C6 with the 4.2 Lambo derived engine!!! 😜

    A hell of a lot of car for the money! I'm absolutely baffled by the way some people spec these cars. I recently bought a 10-year-old A5 coupe. It looks stunning - the original buyer splashed out on the S-Line Black Edition styling, big wheels, phantom black pearl effect paint and thankfully paid about 2k for the then top-spec mmi system - the total would have been in excess of 36k I believe - but then they failed to add essentials like cruise control and folding mirrors which would have only cost a few hundred quid extra! No heated seats either! At least it looks good.

    My dad use to have a "too good for scrap" corner which basically had cars similar to the A6 with higher mileage, some minor cosmetics and taking potential replacements into accounts. Usually sell it on cheap but still make a profit. Usually on more popular branded cars like Ford, VW, Nissan, Toyota etc. You'll usually find the right customer if they either want a cheap motor to get them by or to make it into a project car.

    I got the 3.0T le mans edition, same year, with the supercharged V6 from the S4 and its a cracking car. So solid. Been remapped well within tolerances to 400hp. The way it delivers torque from low revs makes it a very quick car in real world terms. Gearbox feels its age but its durable unlike the DSG s-tonic units from the C7.
    If you're looking at one of these (manuals are rare) avoid the s-tronic models and look for the tiptronic (zf 6 speed in c6 and 8 speed in c7)

My favourite is the C7, just for that interior design and LED daytime running lights, plus the fact it still looks like a new Audi to this day. The C6 is very Germanic on the inside. Reminds me of my mates 2005 Golf. I'm a Lexus guy, but I love these late 2000s & early 2010 Audi executive sedans. Need to educate myself a bit more on the specific engines and trim models, because I would love to drive one.
