lately i have been offered with a really nice s4 from 2010 with 145000km on it. i know it sound like a lot but i have seen them in germany with over 300000 km on them. the one i am looking at looks pretty good and never had any issues except the regular services. what things should i have in mind if i decide to buy it? i heard there was gear box problems with them? anything else I should know about?

thank you!!!

I would be concerned about the DSG trans, T tat, wheel bearings, sport dif, and suspension and electrical components. I would try to get an extended warranty. With that amount of miles(kilometers) ,anything could wear out or fail. Not saying it will, but if and when it does, it could be costly.

Awesome, thank you for the information. I did a test drive and it felt really good and smooth so far. Is there any way to find out how is the dsg trans? I heared that they brake and i donmt know if there is any way to see its condition at the moment.
Thank you.

I would recommend that you look for an alternate vehicle. I have a 2011 Audi S4, 116,000 miles. In the past two years I've had to replace my thermostat twice, the crank shaft pulley and tensioner, and I am going on my second mechatronic unit. Audi does NOT stand by its products and I've been fighting with them about my current issue to replace the second mechatronic unit. Obviously the issue is related to the manufacturing of the unit, not the car itself. They want me to pay for the second installation and I have not even exceeded the mileage warranty on the unit.
