Do you think something like this would be sufficient? I kind of like the idea of having Audi inspect it.

Thanks so much for your help.
That should work. If something is awry, you can go back after the Audi dealership if they overlooked something major. BUT, pre inspection is no guarantee that something will not come up. Only can give status of what they can see at the time of inspection. Good luck.

Can you call his insurance company and see if there have been any claims?

We have government controlled insurance up here and we can pay a few bucks to get a report on any vehicle before purchase, just need the VIN.

I would have it taken to the local dealership and have them do a full pre-buyer inspection. They are the most detailed as they find everything wrong so they can possibly have the change to fix it and charge a lot.
