Besides what the others have mentioned, there appears to be some front end damage.
Look at the scratches on the front bumper...it looks like the hood scratched up 3-4 inches on the front bumper...meaning, that's how far the front bumper was compressed. If that is actually the case (hard to tell from the poor quality pics), I'd be concerned about any damage to the radiator, AC lines, intercoolers, or anything else that lies immediately behind that bumper.
I do agree with the others...somebody stole this car, and stripped it. Insurance probably totalled it because it costs too much to buy all the new parts and put it back together again. Still, S4's are fragile cars when they have been cared for. If someone abused this car on a joyride, your engine and tranny are a HUGE question mark, and Audi will not honor any warranty on a salvaged car! You're on your own. That's a huge potential liability. Think this through carefully.

Despite what everyone else says, it's a great deal...
Cost you about 5K to make it perfect, then you can laugh every day that you pass us A4 owners because you only have 21K in to an S4 with 15K.
I'd buy it if I wasn't buying a new house.
