2021 Audi A6 — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke? — buyer question from Raleigh

I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would buy the same car again. I am trying not to assume the first explanation I see online.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: Ask for out-the-door on the 2021 Audi A6 with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. If they balk, that's your answer. On “50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke? —,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2021 Audi A6 in Raleigh. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2021 Audi A6 and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Then the comparison gets honest. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2021 Audi A6 so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. Do that before you talk monthly again. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

That's a good start, but I wouldn't stop there. Two 2021 Audi A6 quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. That's the part that actually changes the decision. This is from a 2021 Audi A6 in Raleigh. When does it actually happen? If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.
