Default Advice on low milage C4

Ive found a 1997 a6Q sedan that i have recommended to my cousin she is not mechanically inclined at all but needs a safe car that she can drive many miles a day in (insurance sales). what i am afraid of is maintenance the car has 62K miles and is loaded i personally love my car but at 140K it has been requiring frequent repairs which i am happy to do (she may not be) i have never owned an Audi this low mileage should she be able to get 40-50K miles of relatively low maintenance issues assuming everything is up to snuff at purchase or do the cars require the same maintenance with lower millage as mine has from 120k-140K

Not thinking of my love for these, i think she should go for it. Take her for a good service at the dealers. She would give tour qousin thousands of happy miles..

Default thats what i wanted to know

i've spent allot of money maintaining my a6 between 120K and 140K but from 98K to 120K had little to no repairs and im hoping that if she gets timing belt and such done when she purchases she will have few major repairs at least until 120K or so

Good choice for basic, reliable transportation. I rarely recommend Audis to anyone else.
