Thoughts on an Audi Allroad 2015?

[Paula Sims]

Hi there,
We are serioysly considering an Audi Allroad 2015 with 11.5k miles. Certified preused. The carfax report shows it was a lease and some electrical assembly and steering mechanismd already replaced. The price asked is 38.5k.

Hubby and I are looking for a reliable car that will last as long as possible (trading in 2003 Saab 95 wagon) and is good on 1800+ mile long road trips. We prefer a wagon to an SUV.

Any thoughts and feedback is really appreciated.

1. If it's heeded that kind of work in 11.5 thousand miles,

you might be looking at a lemon.

2. In addition, fixing those cars isn't cheap!

3. Routine maintenance isn't either

if there is a warranty with it.

4. A brand new Suburu Outback wagon would be

about $10K less. That's roughly 80,000 miles worth of gas or more than you will ever pay for maintenance for the life of the Suburu. Why would you even consider the Audi, unless the price doesn't matter?

Also, a car that needs to have it's steering replaced AND electrical work after 11,500 miles sounds pretty unreliable.

5. My bro-in-law got rid of one, wouldn't sell it to my kid though, but did buy a new A3 S-Type.

It was something along the lines of the service costs.

6. Audi's are not reliable and are very expensive to fix.

Acuras if luxury wanted. I had my Volvo for a decade. Now a Honda again.

7. A friend owns a shop that works only

on BMW, M-B, and Audi. He does quite well.

Buy one, but sell it before the warranty expires.

His take on AMG=All Money Gone.

8. If you're looking for something reliable run away as fast as you can

This car is the worst of the worst. I probably wouldn't take it if it were free. Seriously... this thing will nickel and dime you to death.

9. The new Buick wagon is about to come out

And it looks pretty sweet!
