Q: What repairs are likely in years 5 - 10? - 2012 Audi A4 Quattro

asked by on November 09, 2016

I am looking to buy a 2012 Audi A4 quattro from a dealer. It already has 85,000 miles on it. The car looks and drives wonderfully, but I'm wondering what I should expect during the next five years in the way of typical large cost repairs for a car this old. If you can advise, it would help greatly. Thanks. Phil
