It does not have air suspension, that was an option.
ball joints and tie rods and stuff will have to be done. but it drove tight so I think I have some time on these. And I am going to roll the dice and not do the timing chain. this one has fresh brakes and battery. will need tires. Quote:

Air suspension, btw, is pretty robust on almost everything but the allroad. Very helpful if you're towing. I can recommend a good private mechanic in Hyannis, around the corner from the Audi dealer. I've used him a couple of times now. Sent you a PM. |

It was super cool before all the problems... I would kill for a A6 wagon in the US.

I'm really considering an older A6 wagon. The shortage of wagons on this side of the puddle is really unforgivable.
Otherwise possibly a JDM Legacy wagon or maybe I be brave (foolish) and get a Nissan Stagea. I want a wagon though. I don't like SUVs but I want more usable space. Sedans are silly.

You might want to consider seeing if an Alltrack has enough space for your needs. It'll hold one of my bikes (60 cm, full fenders) with all wheels on just fine - not quite as much space as my E39 BMW wagon had, but only a couple of inches less - and I know I'd rather have a new Alltrack (in fact, I do have a new Alltrack!) than a used A6.

Eh, Unimogs are cool but I'd rather have a Pinzgauer.

Other points for the OP to consider:
1) All 2018 VWs come with a 6-year, transferrable warranty. 2) The Atlas uses VW's MQB platform/architecture; this is what's used on Golfs and Passats. The Atlas is the largest vehicle that employs this platform. This suggests it may not be as heavy duty as other competitors in the segment. 3) Atlas is built in the US About a 10 year old Q7... I'm sure it's great when it's working. You should do serious homework on the particular vehicle you're looking at and that year Q7 in general to find out about the more common issues and costs. Also, ask yourself if you need to depend on (trust) this vehicle for important trips for you and your loved ones. It's one thing to break down near home midweek on your way to get groceries. It's another thing if you're relying on it for a long-planned family vacation or weekend travel at night during subzero weather in the boondocks or bad parts of town. Good luck! |

Sounds like the OP is interested in a much bigger vehicle. If I was in the market for a car that big, the Atlas would be toward the top of my list. The warranty is a big plus as well. I've had many Audi and VW vehicles over the years(10+), and have been very happy with all of them(except maybe the above mentioned Allroad). I'm currently driving a 2015 Golf Sportwagon TDI, unfortunately, the last VW TDI ever. The family car is an Audi Q7 TDI, lease will be up soon, and will be replaced with a new VW Tiguan. I think I'm done with Audi. The new VW vehicles have more than enough features and luxury these days, I just don't need all the extra bells and whistles for double the price. |
