Used Car of the Day: 2002 Audi A6

Today we bring another UCOTD with concise ad copy. This one is a 2002 Audi A6.


This car has the 3.0-liter V6 and front-wheel drive and the seller says that there isn't much the car needs.

He or she also notes the timing belt, steering pump, water pump, and alternator have been recently replaced. And the sound system is "thumping."

Click here to check out this Audi. It's in New Mexico for $5,500 and I didn't see a listed mileage.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Huh. From the front, it looks like a 1988 Chrysler LeBaron, and from the rear it looks like a 1996 Chrysler LHS. The comparison might not be flattering.

    No one's mentioned the aftermarket headlights. There's another red flag that might dissuade many of the more discerning shoppers.

  • Redapple2 175,000 miles? Wow. Another topic, Hot chicks drive Cabos at higher % than most other cars. I always look.
  • Mister When the news came out, I started checking Autotrader and cars.com for stickshift Versas. There are already a handful showing at $15.3k. When anybody talks about buying a new Versa, folks always say that you're better off buying a nicer used car for the same money. But these days, $15.3k doesn't buy very many "nicer used cars".
  • 28-Cars-Later A little pricy given mileage but probably not a horrible proposition for a Sunday car. The old saying is you're not buying a pre-owned car you're buying the previous owner, and this one has it hooked up to a float charger (the fact he even knows what one is, is a very good sign IMO). Leather and interior look decent, not sure which motor this runs but its probably common (for VAG at least). Body and paint look clean, manual trans, I see the appeal."but I think that's just a wire, not a cracked body panel." Tim, its a float charger. I am doing the exact same thing with the charger hanging via a magnetic hook on the HVAC overhead in my garage.
  • Bd2 Nissan is at the bottom of the market while Hyundai and Kia are almost at the zenith summit.
  • Theflyersfan Then what caused that odd melted crayon smell that new VWs had for ages? Was that the smell of the soft touch plastics beginning their slow but endless march back into their base elements?And you know what gets rid of any new car smell body killing emissions? Top down, drive fast. Cures everything.
