What Does Half A Million Miles Do To A Car?

[@roshanshaji4703]

Restore that car.... high mileage hero v2

[@MrEeeaddict]

The amount of gas/tax spent on this car probably could've bought a house in the US

[@01Jelen10]

Interestingly enough if you count that this car have done easily 50MPG (5,5L/100km) and some dealer service + insurance + tax, I don't think it went over 90k USD /65k GBP (in todays money) so no more than double the price on this car when it was new. Probably less as it had some options. So not bad at all as usually cars with this mileage cost three times if not four times more in running cost than in purchase price when new.

[@Davidjune1970]

Also amazingly, it likely drove the owner to work where they were able to make even more money than that

[@strongfp]

I payed £3500 for this van with no service history and damp from being “hose cleaned inside and out” it served me for 10 years without trouble and is now a delivery van for the local chippy on the original 2.5 PD engine and gearbox, I shamelessly towed triple axle trailers all round Europe and hauled my family of 6 EVERYWHERE

If a car has 4 brand new ditch finders on then run a mile unless there's a good reason for it, if it has a mixture of brands, same rule applies. When an old high mileage car has expensive tyres on, it's a good indicator they spent on maintenance too.

[@TraustiGeir]

Truth. A service book bursting to the back cover is not something you find every day.

[@sverduijn1]

These are among the most reliable Audi's ever made. The Audi A4 B6 was a new design. The body is galvanized so as long as there is no damage it will never rust. The suspension is improved over the earlier models so it lasts much longer. The diesel (PD, pumpeduse) engines are perfect as long as you don't have injector problems. Only old mercedes diesels and the older vw diesels(vorkammer) are even more reliable and cheaper to repair. The petrol engines are also quite good. Not too fancy, not too complicated. The interior is made of very strong fabrics which stay good even after years of useage. Only the paint on the knobs wears off, but this can be replaced. Downsides are the little space on the back seats. Also the weight. Fuel consumption on petrol engines is high compared to modern standards. The drive is based mostly on comfort.

[@imbeciliacgamer2439]

Can’t go wrong with a 1.9tdi

[@damsography]

The 1.9l tdi is really good , i've seen those with more than 600k

[@Alystas]

Maybe... it's still among the most borring and uncomfortable cars ever made, the seats are plain simply build in concret and the suspension feels like they use solid steel shafts as dampers :/ Couple that with the fact that those cars handle like supertankers and are as intresting to drive as a bus ride and you got yourself one of the most overpriced, overhyped cars ever. Realy you could get the same reliability with a peugeot 406 1..9 Turbo D (before the HDI engine) and it would be way better to own.

[@sverduijn1]

@@Alystas Comfort is a very personal thing. Some like soft seats, some like hard seats etc. Boring? It's timeless, classy and not too obnoxious. Ok ok, I agree, now that it's so old it looks very dull. Really a car for old people. Especially in silver. The dampers are not stiff, it's not a BMW. Maybe you drove one with aftermarket wheels? With the factory wheels it's comfortable. And yes, it drives like a supertanker. Very predictable, safe. Many people like that. The Peugeot diesels before HDI where very reliable. But they are slow and use much more fuel then the Audi engine. The HDI is actuallly a very nice and smooth engine. But they need proper care to last long. In the end it comes down to taste and money. I had a Rover 620 which was a rebranded Honda Accord. It was the best car I ever owned. That engine just begged for full speed even when cold. It just kept going.

[@FeZerret]

The 2.5 TDI from the 2003/2004 are trash. Even the actual vag workshops couldnt get the engine to Work properly after the Diesel Pump failed. Also the injectors are almost always leaking. And putting a new diesel Pump in Costs you more than buying another used whole car. Old German cars before 2000 are unbeatable, but when the electronic era started everything went downhill tbh
