Default Opinio on buying this S4

Hi everyone, I am new to Audi S4's and would like to know what you think about this S4 that I am planning to buy for $8,500, just waiting on the bank http://madison.craigslist.org/cto/1504290452.html. It has 100k miles, all stock with a few mods and comes with 19 inch koenig RS7 wheels. However, it has two issues with the car. The windshield wiper transmission is toasted and the abs module light is on, it could be the sensor from oem rotors or the module is bad. Give me your thoughts and opinion on this price. Thanks and happy hoildays!

Wiper transmission is pretty easy to fix. ABS light could just need a new ABS motor/module (see modulemasters). Probably need about $300-$500 to fix both issues.

I bought mine with 100k on it and didn't have too many expenses incurred except for timing belt and rear wheel bearings until 175k when the clutch finally wore out.

Good luck. Sounds pretty reasonable.

Get the code numbers and determine whether it is the module or the wheel speed sensor. Price is not bad at all. Enjoy and happy holidays!
