The AUDI A6 (1997-04) 4DR SALOON 2.7T 250 QUATTRO SPORT TIP AUTO is a large, premium four-door saloon, aimed at buyers wanting more space and comfort than a family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among executive cars such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, offering a discreet alternative. With a turbocharged petrol engine, automatic gearbox and Audi’s Quattro four-wheel drive, this A6 is notable for confident traction and brisk, relaxed progress, especially on long journeys. It is best suited to experienced drivers, couples or families seeking a comfortable motorway car, rather than someone prioritising low running costs: an older, powerful petrol saloon may use more fuel and need careful maintenance. mycarcheck.com has two checks for this version, so its figures are a snapshot, not a market-wide guide: average mileage was 117,000, annual mileage 7,000, and private-sale value £400. The checks recorded an average 6.5 previous keepers.
