How much will you budget per year for repairs?
$2500 per year (only $0.10 per mile) might be good to set as a budget!
Some years maybe more will be spent, but probably most years less!
At least you will be driving something that you want to drive! ;-)

Does anyone have a more accurate budget?
Regular maintenance should be the key to reducing larger problems. ;-)

I'm thinking of getting a 2005 A6 with 37,000 miles, and I ask a
friend how he likes his A6 … he does, but said it's cost him a lot of
money to keep it running. Well his is a 1999 so my guess is the is a
big enough difference that I can't really compare the 2. Would most of
you agree with that?

Are there things I should be watching for with a 2005 A6, and if so,
what?

I'm not rich enough to purchase a car, and then have to put a ton of
bucks into it over the next year or so.

I put on about 25,000 miles a year (all highway), but don't care to be
somewhere and have the car breaking down. Yes I know this can happen
with just about any car, but is this car more likely then others or a
different year A6 to breakdown?
