Perfect Ian.
Now I know exactly what config of A6 C6 to look for: A6 C6 Avant 4.2 Petrol with ZF Automatic.
(I remember Mikki was saying something about difficulty to access engine due to wide fenders and narrow bonnet in these cars, but this is a minor issue I guess)
Tried to search Autotrader for this config and there is no single A6 Avant with 4.2 engine... Am I doing something wrong?
Tried to search Autotrader for S8 Avant and C6 chassis come with 5.2 engine, but no 4.2 again...

>> I'll also check S4s Automatic years 2012+ like Ainars has recommended.

Any specific engine/gearbox combo? What are the most 'high-reliability' versions from S4 Avant 2012+ world? It looks like they are mostly 's-tronic'...
Adrian proved example of car above. 2013 S4 Avant -- '1 LADY OWNER - STUNNING'. 3 Later petrol -- no idea about them. Any feedback from reliability point of view? Shall I view it?

The budget is now anywhere between 10k and 20k.

Thanks everyone for helping me.
I'm catching up decades of missed information.
