Get one with a low mileage. I once used one and its a sweet ride. I got the premium plus model. Do well to stay away from unnecessary flood and swamps

With my experience on Audi A6, I can't advise anyone to go for Audi again except you are 'very rich'

Best Audi that every mechanic can understand us Audi 80

Apart from that, I don’t really know why because Audi is a German machine but it’s not blending well with Nigerians

The Audi A6 you must be talking about is a V6 3.0TFSI I guess. Well there is a an A6 with 2.0TFSI 4 cylinder engine that you find on A4 and Volkswagen passat also. I enjoyed my Audi A4 so much that someone bought it off me while I was still enjoying it. The parts and technicians plenty for Iyana Itire

Audi and VW cars can run you crazy, they are awesome cars before the fault starts, but when it does, can be frustrating and drain your pockets. please weigh your options carefully. Took me well over 6 months to get a buyer for my used 2012 A4 Quattro.

the fuel sold in filling station in naija doesnt blend well with audi brand so therefore be ready for incessant mechanical issues due to our not so good pms.that a major reason audi no yapa for our roads like their asian rivals whose cars can tolerate bad fuel

Thanks so much. I can conclude this car Audi A4 2012 is not a car for Nigeria due to the reasons above

Saw a sweet 010 A4 in 2016.
Wanted to buy but I advised myself and went for a Merc W204 instead.
Glad I did now,cos I know wetin me and my 01 VW golf IV de go.Car is damn too sophisticated and has too many complex electronics though a sweet car.The handling na die,comparable to only a Merc or Beemer.
I keep wondering what I'd have been passing thru if it were the even more sophisticated Audi 010

Good responses.
Great cars with advanced engineering. I must say that many mechanics don't understand the system of these cars.
Quality of fuel available in Nigeria is a disaster for these cars and pain for the users.
Using octane booster won't cost more as it causes the engine to burn less fuel.

Talking from experience its a nice car. Have used an A2, A4 and A6. Currently still have them all. They are all nice cars with a great fuel economy. My advise, fund a better hand to handle em first. A little negligent can lead to you spending a lot. Wasn't around of recent and my cousin drove my A4. Timing belt cut and dude didn't know was still starting the baby till the valve had issues. From that small issue it degenerated to a big one and I can't tell you how much have spent. About the A6, those once do enter limp mode at the shortest unrest so you are safe to a good degree. Just go for it but make sure you van cough out some couple of thousands even without planning. But the car hardly have issues sha. Cheers.

Bro that's not true. No car is bad we only have bad drivers and handlers. I use an Audi as a matter of fact all my life have been Audi's and the only regret I have are the lessons I learnt. And Audi hardly have mechanical issues unless abused.
