The AUDI A6 (1997-04) 4DR SALOON 2.4 V6 170 SPORT is a large executive saloon for UK buyers seeking an alternative to family cars. Its design and Sport trim feel purposeful, while the V6 suits relaxed journeys. It rivalled the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It works well as a comfortable everyday car for commuters or small families who value cabin space and a composed motorway ride, though older-car condition and running costs matter more than the badge. mycarcheck.com recorded just two checks, covering one VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide: average private-sale valuation was £700, mileage 130,000 and annual mileage 5,000. The sample also showed an average of 5.5 previous keepers. The A6’s spacious, quiet-going character makes it a comfortable used-car choice, but buyers should check service history and condition carefully, as with any older premium saloon, before any purchase is made.
