Looking at an '04 2.7t S-Line anything I should be looking at specifically for this year?
Had an '01 2.7t which was totaled out and it was a pretty trouble free car.
This one has 65,000 miles, not certified which bothers me a little, but I think the price at $16,900 reflects it. All the other '04's around me are going in the mid twenties certified with miles in the high 30's and low 40's. There are a few slight paint chips on the front bumper but the rest of the car doesn't have a scratch on it. Car fax shows it as a one owner car with no accident history. Does the price seem reasonable for that many miles? Dealer has a 12 month warranty on the powertrain (only internally lubricated parts) for engine, transmission and trans axle.
Just can't help but think 10 grand less for a non-certified car with 25,000 more miles is not a bad deal.

CPO is the only way to go
The A6 has such poor resale value and there are plenty of them out there to choose from.
It's well worth the extra $4 to get a CPO car with 25k fewer miles.
While the 2004 is more reliable than the '00-'01s, there are still many common failures that could easily eat up that $4k difference.

There are some good warranties out there... but at $2500-$3000 for good coverage...
It makes a CPO all the more attractive (since it's hassle-free and has great roadside coverage).

My decision just got made for me as the dealer just called and said it was sold..I will find
another. My wife really wasn't hip on the no warranty either.

if you don't live in CA then i would get it CPO is overated and not any better then other comperable
service contracts and you can get no deductible and take the car to an indy or dealer(if indy can't do it)
pick up a 2.7t of your choice under 75k miles and you can get a 4yr/48k mile service contract at click4warranty.com

I saw those and may go look at them and see how much lower they would go on the
silver one. I put about 25K a year on and buying a car with 65,000 on it already probably is not a good move although the price seemed pretty good. I now have a vehicle to use until I find the right car so I don't have as much pressure.
