[ba] need advice - interested in 2000 A6 2.7T

[no1of consequence]

hey robert,

not sure if this is any help, but i was just chatting mith my mechanic 
[jim at burlingmae independant] about the new audi's as i'm getting tired of my 
slo old  90 and he was saying that the 2.7ta6 was what he would buy if he 
were getting a new car. he did say that you give up a little in terms of 
reliaility over, say, a 1.8t a4 [which is what his wife drives] , but he 
said that all things considered it is a  phenomenal car. he's a pretty jaded 
wrench who values not having to fix stuff over all else.

he said he would get the tip because the 6spd would get him into WAY too 
much trouble. =)

good luck,
jim
