Do it, I'm in the process of trading the A6 for a used Qx4
Mine has 130k miles, no real major problems...but I have a feeling my luck is running out. The FX is nice and very unique, but not for everyone.

Hate to say it but I think $27.5k is quite a bit high for a '00 w/ 66k miles.............
I bought my '00 4.2 w/ 24k miles in Sept. off eBay for $24,000. You might consider doing a search on Cars.com or Autotrader.com to see what comparable cars are selling for. You might have to do a broad search to find enough cars depending on where you live. Also, you really can't include Audi Assured cars from dealers when pricing yours for sale. Good luck selling. BTW, you mentioned having two sets of wheels. Would one of the sets be a OEM 5 spoke polished that you want to sell?

Your A6 4.2 problems are quite minor, unless that "etc." is a whole lot more...
...while it is not out of the ordinary for a Toyota driven by a woman to be that trouble free, driving a Toyota is just about the most boring thing possible compared to driving an Audi. I suggest you suck it up, because it sounds like your Audi has been very good to you.

Re: FX 45 thinking of trading A6 4.2 2000 due to..
If you decide to sell any of your tire/wheels seperately, let me know. I might be interested.
I am hoping your experience is not a sign of things to come. My 2000 A6 4.2 has 41000 miles on it!
BTW...which Intel site do you work at?
I work for Intel in Chandler - Rural campus.
