Default Bying a pre-owned A6 2.7T

Hi everyone, this is my first message on this forum....
I'm planning to buy a 2000-2001 A6 2.7T with around 50K
My biggest concern is the reliability of this car, I was checking on the net for some people reviews, and the opinions on this matter seemed very different...
A lot of owners report rotors problems (seem to be with the brakes system, don't know what rotors are exactly...), the rear bumper too low and other minor problems,
While others report transmission lagging, turbo boost failer..., which fretting me a bit
I need your opinions on that and your overall comments on this car (especially for the awd, I'm from Canada and winters are THOUGH, I'm driving a 97 cadillac catera, and it sucks in winter)
Thanx a lot for your replays
JM

Default definately try and get 01 if you can, more problems reported with

00 model year. Get Audi Assured or some sort of extended warranty, repairs can be expensive.
