The thing with this car is that my mother took great care of her . Before my A 6 died it got all new brakes . Rotors , calipers , everything . Brand new tires and i also work at a place where i could do a bunch of work in the bays for free I put a brand new fuel pump in it just before it died . The timing chain was also done maybe 6 or 7 months before it died . So the car is in really good condition . its just that the engine is dead right now . And if i get a new engine with less than 60 k and a 3 year warranty AND . an Audi specialist that is going to put the engine in for me for 1500 $ and I ' m pretty sure he ' d be happy to help me with any other problems i have with the car . So everything is in good condition i guess one of the only things that i could be concerned about would be the transmission
