What if any concerns should I have?

Obviously I would have it independently inspected before purchase but are there any preliminary issues I should look out for before i even go to the trouble of setting up an 3rd party inspection?

I would try to get a CPO if you could. That would really ease your mind.

guess what dont worry if the car had problems audi is good about cleaning them up. I have had 3 and put on 300,000 knock on wood and nothing major.

can't get CPO is mileage is over 50k I believe. An extended warrant on the other hand is a must

A warranty is good to have with these hi-tech high $ cars for sure. Ofcourse some warranties are only worth the paper they're written on.
My did have 2 year left in a after market warranty b
I pray I'll never need it. Most of the wording in these warranties is what they don't cover.
I check out my cars as well as possible, although some foreseen.
After purchasing well over 50 vehicles, never used a warranty. I normally use the provided after market warranties as bargaining tool to remove and lower cost.
A electrical, or drivetrain issue could be a nightmare for sure. They are more the exception though.
A late model bmw7 or jaguar would really make me nervous.
