Default Newbie buying question.

Hi All,

Finally saved up enough money to buy me another Audi

I'm going for a test drive today, any thoughts? Been lurking forums for a while and I think I know what kind of problems to look for, but any additional tip would be great. Oh yeah, price is kinda crazy compare to Audi's in US but this is Canada... and cars cost more up here for some reason..

thanks <ul><li><a href="http://forums.beyond.ca/st/197277/fs-2002-audi-a4-1-8t/">Link.</a></li></ul>

Default I had to convert to miles. 89k without a TB scared me.

55k miles on a turbo with mods:
1: Remember the tbelt is sue in 10-20k miles. I'd do it soon, sooner than usual for piece of mind.
2: Check out the suspension, look at the control arms for bad cracks in the bushings.
3: Clutch and syncros.

The car looks maintained, but there is the chance he's done some smoky burnouts.

If you're serious, get the car to a prepurchase inspector.
