It should be receiving a timing belt right away unless there is record of it having been done. Easy to get well over 200k miles when properly maintained.

Expect higher maintence and repair costs if you are used to driving a 4cyl Honda or similar. However, in many cases you can get parts from Auto recycling yards and maybe do some work yourself. It's not a new car, so before you go throwing new parts at it, check around. I'll be getting my window motor from a salvage yard because I'll save myself $100.

I have a 2001 A4 1.8T quattro. Expect to be fixing every 3 months or so, but then again it has 123,000mi on it and you're paying only $2,300.

I'd do the timing belt soon if the previous owner has no record of doing it. It's between $800 and $1,100(depending on where you take it) and takes a full day.
