Is it a 2.7T or a 4.2 ??
If it's a 2.7T, the price is too high...should be no more than $9-9.1K.
If it's a 4.2 (MUCH PREFERRED), it's an OK price.
The timing belt should be done now...or soon.
If it's a 2.7T, run a VagCom reading to check for bad EGT sensors (exhaust gas temp...2.7 turbo only)...$500 plus for parts, plus labor (not cheap, unless you DIY).
If it's got the original front air shocks ("bags"), they're gonna go any time now...about $600 plus labor for Arnott's (aftermarket) or double that for OEM replacements.
You buy an Allroad because you want an Allroad...not for low maintenance. Get ready to spend some $$...Even when all is working well, AR's eat gas and tires like nothing else I've ever owned.
