Default Finally settled on one...
Hi all- I wrote a few days ago about an A4 on EBay with many miles on it. Well, didn't get that bid... and settled on a local one, a '97 with 56K mi on it. What would you suggest I watch out for in the miles ahead? The original owner has all of records, and it was serviced very regularly, so everything that should have been done up to 56K mi was done as far as I know. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
