Jody Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hi - I'm new to the forum. I'm pretty close to trading my 2014 20k A6 Allroad in for a 2013 65k S4 Avant. My main dilemma is mileage. Is 65k a lot for an S4 B8.5 ... in three years of my 8-10k a year it will be knocking 100k on the door. What kind of wear and tear should I expect, belts, chains, wheel bearings, exhausts etc? The car is a fine example, one owner from new, full Audi history etc etc All advice appreciated. Basically am I buying a problem - should I try and find something with a lower mileage but not as nice spec ? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-B5 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hi Jody Welcome! Audi's are built with very strong engines, that be Petrol or Diesel (renowned for there long lasting diesels), 65K isn't alot but then it all depends on how the last owner drove the car. is this from the actual Audi dealership or somewhere else, they can do a look over to make sure everything is okay :) both nice cars btw!

Trevor Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi Jody...welcome to the Forum I think its a case of if the car is well maintained and has been looked after with FSH using quality parts then its not so much of an issue with high mileage except for when it comes to retailing it and losing money. Keep us updated Cheers Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Thanks both. In the end I bought a 2015 65 plate S4 for 8k miles... VERY happy with it all round. What do you guys get mpg wise ...? Seems thirsty round town but ok on a long run so far? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
