I am looking into buying my first car. I just wanted to ask a few questions about the car. I am not rich and i cant afford to pay pricey repair bills. I am one who will rotate my own tires, and put on new brakes pads and things like that but i know with these cars doing repairs and upkeep myself can be a challenge since everything is so cramed. So doing the oil, brakes and tires is about as far as i can see myself fixing. My question is how reliable are these cars.

I was all set on one but i have been looking at average repair costs for these cars compared to say the 98-01 models and they are like triple or quadrupled the price of the 98-01 A4's. I am in High school right now, a junior and i will be a senior by the time i have enough money(probably around January) and i want a car that will last me through college without large repair bills.

personally, i wouldn't think an audi would be a good car for someone with a modest amount of cash. if you were to buy one, plan on having a few thousand set aside.

i could be wrong, but in previous years haven't they had problems with their transmissions?

just mantaining the vehicle is going to cost more than the average domestic or japanese

:+1: I agree

so basically they are not very reliable?

Audi are but they don't come cheap

They are getting better with time. 2002..ahhhh ??????

Civic.

I know you hate the answer, but it is your best bet.




That Audi has dam sensors EVERYWHERE, and none are plug and play.

Personally,I think AUDI is reliable,and is the most suitable car for you .

Be prepared to pay a lot for service since most 2002s are out of warranty.
