How expensive is maintenance on an 1999 audi a4?

I just bought a 1999 audi a4 with 133,000 miles. It recently had most of the belts changed including timing belt. I think the brakes were recently done. Nothing seems to be the matter with it except the brake light flashes even though the e brake is down. The reason I bought the car was I got an incredible deal on it ($1875). I am concerned about maintenance. How expensive can it be?How expensive is maintenance on an 1999 audi a4?You shouldnt have any schedualed maintenance in the near future. You should probably look over the car and make sure there are no small problems that can turn into big ones. For $1875 I'm willing to bet there is something wrong, so if you cant find it you may want to take it in and have a mechanic go over it. If everything is fine your only maintenance expense will be oil changes ($75+ at most places).How expensive is maintenance on an 1999 audi a4?High miles on audis is usually a bad thing. The problem with german cars is their reputation. Everyone thinks the maintenance is expensive so it bascaly allows the mechanics and audi themselves to make it expensive. As long as nothing major goes wrong you should be fine. I have a 2002 A4 and 2 months after i bought it, it needed a new head gasket which cost me almost $3000. Its good that the belts were replaced. Watch out for the abs light or the airbag light. It is a common problem on the 98 to 2001 a4's. I have a feeling that car is going to cost you a lot of money. 1875 is way too cheap. Theres probably something wrong. Definitely have a mechanic look at it. I would have had a mechanic look at it before you bought it tho.How expensive is maintenance on an 1999 audi a4?Oil changes will NOT cost $75, unless its an RS4, and that is around $50-60. As for the brake light flashing, have that looked at, it may be a loose wire. Was the H20 pump and thermostat changed when the timing belt was done? You did score a deal.
