If the timing chain was done I think you’re gonna be ok after the list is done. The air ride is what it is. It’s a great system but they just wear out and need fixed every 80k.
$3k is a steal. I saw one of these that was well maintained as far as paint and headlights and all that and it looked awesome and sounded amazing rolling down the highway.

The V8 S6 is good but still has the air ride and has turbos and other stuff to deal with. So you’d pay more and then still have the $7k for air ride hanging over your head. Also, I’ve owned the 4.0T and it’s good but the NA Audi engines are just better and everyone knows it.

Personally, if you get the V10 plan on $1k a year and have $5k saved for any problems. I bet it works out great though.
t. Owned and run new Audis.

I’d personally take a look at the old RS6 though. The ttV8 from back then. But that’s a whole different league of maintenance and cost to get in.
