Default A6 with a few miles

This was in the local rag this week how many miles?

So all of a sudden i'm thinking my 8 is a low mile example

That's pretty impressive...if my S8 can keep going till that mileage, then (based on the same average annual mileage since I bought it) mine will last me until I'm 74 years old, which would suit me fine

However, although I'd like to think that the '8 is better built than the '6, I suspect that the cost of maintenance on an '8 would make that less likely.

Interesting that this guy is offering to give his A6 away to anyone who wants to pay the cost of fixing the engine tho'.
