Red face Planning on buying a used A6. [I need suggestions]

Hey Everyone, I'm new to the forums because I've recently grown an addiction to Audi's and I'm considering buying my first one. (I recently got back from a trip to Igolsdat and that's where my addiction started.

I'm looking at getting a Used A6 (2000/2001/2002) for a good price, most of what I have looked at are 110K+ Miles.

I've heard various reviews on getting a Turbo, Some people say it's the best thing ever and they never had any issues with it. I'm wondering what are your experiences with Turbos on the A6 (Keep in mind I'm looking at cars with 110K+ Miles.)

I'm also wondering if engine troubles change with 2.8L vs. 3.0L and which one would be the best.

Out of these cars 2001 2.8T Quattro ($4,600 & 130K Miles), 2002 3.0L Quattro ($7500 & 117K Miles) Which one would you choose? (If you have another suggestion let me know in the comments)

I'm also just wondering what sort of things am I looking at with Audi A6's with 110K+ Miles? (Ex. Today I looked at one that had a head gasket that needed replacing and was leaking oil like crazy so I passed.)

Thank you so much for your help, I'm looking very forward to becoming apart of this community.

Thanks, Austin.

DEFINETLY AND RS6!! Even with the 18k price tag, its worth every penny IMO. I will probably be getting one once I graduate school. Go big.

Haha, I know the RS models are very sporty and for sure worth it, Only issue is that my budget is about 10K under that haha.
