Looks very nice, '99 should have the 30 valve V6, versus the old 12 valve. I think it's 200 Hp or so vs 170. Very nice cars, excellent build quality. The V6 is pretty well bulletproof, it's the 2.7T that sometimes has problems. Most of the problems that I have seen are electrical, various things that quit working. 100k shouldn't be a problem from a driveline perspective, they do have ball joints that wear out and require replacing the control arms, so that's something to check on. I'm not sure if the A6 had a recall on them or not. Overall I think they're pretty reliable cars, the build quality is just unreal. I had a '99 A4, and it was flawless, for what that's worth.

Browse www.audizine.com, www.audiworld.com, and www.fourtitude.com for more info on them, there's probably some A6 buying guides.
