Default How many Km is too many?

I'm looking at buying a B5 S4, i have looked at a few most of them in pretty good condition, some of them had a lot of kilometers on them. I was wondering how many kilometers is too many. I know after so many km on certain vehicles everything starts to crap out. any problems like this with the b5 s4s?

Doesn't matter too much if they've been maintained well. Some guys are still running stock turbos with over 200K on the clock.

Well, I have a 93 UrS4 and it just turned 314,000 miles. Just the usual timing belt services, oil changes, routine maintenance etc. When I purchased years ago was said to be lightly modded "euro turbo and manifold, magnaflow exhaust, Big reds." I added ASA 17"'s various tire mfgs e.g. BFG, Sumitomo, Falken, Kumho, etc. I do not baby her either. Routine jaunts to 6k+ in 2nd to keep her cleaned out. Regular oil analysis also.
Paint got faded on hood/roof/boot so I gave her a new spray in 08.

Oops...Am I a schmuck or whatt!!?! Oh well..
But anyway, you might wanna check out the C4 platform also. ALOT roomier than the B5. And I bet there aren't many 2.7T's that are over 200k, not to mention 300k.
