I have a chance to buy a two owner 97 A6 Quattro with automatic trans for $4500. It has 134K miles and only a few minor body dings. It has Bose audio, moon roof, almost new Michelins, memory seats and lots of other goodies. It looks great, drives great, no accidents, good service records, has no mech probs that I can see. I noticed that high mileage Quattros dont sell for much at all. Is there some mechanical disaster looming soon? I have owned Audis before but never a Quattro. I was astounded at the difference in handling on a winding road compared to a non Quattro Audi. Feels like it is on tracks. Anything I should know before buying? Has the 2.8L V6 and uses about a quart of oil every 1700 miles, but looks from the records like it has always done that even when young. Any advice greatly appreciated.
