Default My first audi? suggestions things to think about.

hello every one. I am looking at purchasing my first Audi. i have found a 2012 A6 3.0t premium plus for sale near me with 64,000 miles. I was wondering if there was anything that I should be aware of. I know that the MMI can be finicky on these cars along with the electric parking break issues. but other than that is there any thing that i should be concerned about? thank you all for the advice in advance

I’d make darn sure there is no sign of flood damage! Have a pre purchase inspection done by someone who knows what they are doing

Same boat here. Drove a 535i and went ehh. Drove an a6 3.0T and was hooked! The '12 I drove I noticed a rough idle and harsh downshifts. Are these known issues? I would be getting into a '15, has any of that been updated since the 12s? give me the scoop on this model, thanks

Without posting locations then advice is meaningless. Saudi Arabia has issues with sand in the front suspension, Louisiana has flood damage models, the list is endless.

near me is not meaningful.

Question was in regards to the production related issues in the vehicles themselves. But if you must know, I live in the state of Indiana, in the United States.
