Ask any Indy shop if they like that engine. It's not Audi's finest effort.

I have a friend with under 100k on his 2003 3.0. He's having more troubles than my 203k 2000 2.8.

Short term: skip
Long term do moAr research before you decide.

The 3.0 is a radical change from the 2.8, 2.7 and 4.2 with a completely different valve adjustment mechanism. I know of at least one of these cars that had a bank one cam seizure.
