Hello first on all!

I recently sold my vw passat 2001 that i had for over 2 years, and now looking for a new car with more room. I have ended up with an idea to get a Audi A6 estate, but not sure if to go with old model C5 2001-2004 , or save little more and get C6 2005+

First had a look at vw passat B6 but read all those horror storys that happen and can leave you on the road with expencive repair bill coming in over a grand.

I once had A6 estate 1998 with 2,5Tdi but that was sold due engine problems, now i had 2001 passat 1.9Tdi and in 2+years only about 500 quid was put in it for new alloys and few small repairs. Even did 5000 miles eurotrip and worked very well.

Now planning duing same trip again this year so whatever car i get should be reliable enough to make the trip. Looking at a6 c5 1.9 tdi estate automatic with 158k miles on clock and a6 c5 2.4 petrol quattro with 125k miles on clock. Budget wise i got about 2 grand at the moment and if i sell my pc and save a bit id have 3 grand in 2-3 weeks that could buy me an A6 C6 estate 2.0tdi with 190k miles or seen other one just that is 3200 pounds and 130k miles 2.0tdi estate.

Even for £2,600 buys _C6 but 221k miles bit much or not? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2015...


So what advice can you guys give me?
Thanks!

Got advice that an Skoda Superb 2003+ is good car, like vw passat just bigger and more toys (elegance model).
