it is tough to answer the question "How much does one have to make . ?" Each buyer has his own comfort level for getting debt. He could also have to account for basic living costs and any extra costs for buyer products, education, and other financial responsibilities. earning is a relative factor, really. The person who spends as much as he makes may not be able to pay for a higher class auto, whereas his more frugal counterpart may.

I can not speak to the A6, but I know that the A4 depreciates quickly. Plus, here in the midwest they are liked cars due to AWD, making them inexpensive to buy pre owned.

You may want to talk to the question from the stance of, "How much do I have available for a car payment?" Then, research average retail prices for new and used models, through any number of online resources Kelly, as an example . Examine interest rates and loan terms to see if you are comfy with the monthly payment and length of the loan.

Good luck.

I owned some number of Audis and in my opinion the A6 is my favorite. you may want to be putting up at least 40grand if not more.

If you're just trying the car out, I'd greatly propose leasing them. they're easy to preserve and it costs lots less this way.

What? How old are you? I could say that's is an costly car and money waste.i could go for anything that wil last a while.tough not features.leather retarded.engine parts made of steel instead of ceramic Audi likes ceramics beause it's lighter. worth it.

My assumption is that the average take home gross salaries for the people who drive A6's is at the least $80,000 and those people are spending a big part of their money on that car, or they are financing it for the next six years.

Hypothetically, a new 2006 A6 costs $50k. If you lease that car for 36 months and it depreciates 50% over that time, you will be paying for $25k of that. Now you may be able to simply divide that 25k over 36 months and right there, without taxes and interest for financing you are spending $700/month. I am being general with my estimates, and I am lowballing here.

Call an Audi dealership today and ask them to get you the monthly lease on a modestly equiped A6, for 36 months right there over the phone. Tell them to get you a ballpark estimate. you may be able to most likely email a dealership. someplace in that ballpark is what it is going to take to pay for it.

Audis are just like any other car I have owned a TT and after some years parts need replacing and service needs to be done. Service and parts on these European cars isn't cheap. If you hold on to the car for five years most probably you are going to find some big servicing and it is going to cost you. This is why I have suggested a three year lease. inside that timeframe many of issues that will occur will be protected by Audi, outside of three years, some won't.

The way to purchase an A6 is to purchase one that is used about two years old. They depreciate hard in the 1st two years you may be able to get a almost new car that is just what you want, low miles, expanded warranty, for less than half price.

A two year old A6 is priced about like a new four cylinder Toyota Camry, the gas mileage will be worse, but insurance and such will be comparable.

I've had some number of friends who've had A6 and A4 that were used, and they have had very good luck with them. Avoid the 2.7T engine, and the Quattro drive, unless you are in a snowy weather.

Their lowest car is around 30k, and higest is around 125K, but usually a person with a good wage and in the center class can pay for it. it is not costly in comparison to BMW or Maseratti
