The AUDI A6 (1997-04) 4DR SALOON 2.8 QUATTRO SPORT is a roomy premium saloon offering comfort and refinement. In the UK it sits in the executive class, competing with period BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class models. Its restrained design makes it an understated alternative to rivals of its day. With a 2.8-litre engine and Audi’s quattro four-wheel drive, this A6 is best suited to long-distance travel, wet-weather motoring and comfortable family or business journeys. It offers reassuring grip and a substantial feel, rather than small-car thrift; running costs and fuel use may be higher than those of smaller saloons. mycarcheck.com has recorded just five look-ups across two VINs, so figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. These checks show an average private-sale valuation of £700, 69,000 miles, 7,000 miles driven annually and 3.6 previous keepers. Check each car’s history and condition carefully, and inspect it before buying.
