Default any suggestions for buying a used 2002 or 2003 A6 Avant 3.0?

- particular features I should look for, e.g. ESP was optional? was HID light standard? (these were standard on my TT and S4)
- and was immobilizer security standard?
- what were the common upgrade packages that you like?
- any common reliability or wear issues or worries?
- is the rear storage identical in footprint as the allroad?
- how is the suspension on rough potholed city roads?
- in hindsight would you get something else?

Thanks in advance.

Default Look up the "Model Guide" under "Resources" - it'll tell you what options were available for...

these model years.

Default 02 MY Avant has the most standard features...

better leather, better seats, more features (like memomory pass seat).

Look for packages like cold, luxury, convenience for xenons I think.

02 has the immobilizer....

my 02 avant has been excellent.

has a wopping 14,600 miles on it and is perfekt.

Things to watch:

early wear out on rotors and pads (vibration).

if you buy one, get the oil changed ASAP a few times to a good synthetic like M1 0W-40 or Syntec 0W-30.
