Audi A6 2001
Dear All, im planning to buy a Audi A6 2001 model, for Ex: http://www.qatarsale.com/mycar_e.aspx?carid=36092
Please tell me whether spare parts and maintenance for Audi will too costly when comparing to others,,,please highly appreciate ur kind advice. Thx.
Audi is a nice car to drive, I use to have one here in Doha, but i went into bankruptcy because of its maintenance and spare parts :) then I had an accident with it, and the cost of repairing it was double its price, so I sold it for scrap for 4000 QR. So I advice u not to go for it.

Go through the above link and check the items with a specialist.
The good part is that - if the A8 is in decent condition, you can run it for some time, enjoy the vehicle and not bother having to resell it - a german car cannot be compared, the A8 will be very safe and at the end you'll only lose QAR 20 K (you'll lose that in a year if you buy a new Honda Accord!!!)
It is an A8 first of all not an A6. Comparatively, spares are as expensive as BMW/Merc. Ask the owner for service records - that will give you an idea of maintenance and spares cost.
If there are no records - forget the car.
Secondly, ask the owner where does he service his Audi - if he has a private specialist mechanic for Audi's/German cars then ok. Service at the dealer will be expensive.
If you have a lot of money, bought this car
I do not advise you
