Ok thanks very much

great, glad i asked here. I hadn't realised the cvt was so bad

so the cambelt and cvt seem to be the main expenses?

thanks, i had read that...

I am considering buying a second hand Audi A6 and am seeing many nice looking examples around 2006-2010 between £2 and £3k. 

Now i'm mainly home based with work so my mileage is pretty minimal, but would like something reliable and relatively economical nonetheless.

Am i asking for trouble looking at this price range of cars? I'm seeing lots with full service history, 100k+ miles and a little bit of wear and tear as you would expect.

Having researched a bit it seems a recent cambelt change would be a plus. It also seems a CVT gearbox is to be avoided too? 

2.0 TDI S Line seems to fit the bill, anyone experiences of these? 

Thanks and appreciate any advice...
