Default Purchasing a 2009 A4

Hello all,

I am currently looking at Purchasing a 2009 A4 wit 60,000 miles, for $9,500. Good idea? Any problems I should look for at this stage? Are they pretty reliable? Could I get to 150,000 miles without major repairs, but just regular maintenance? The guy who I am looking at purchasing it from is an Audi mechanic, and says it in good shape. Changed the oil, brakes, timing chain and tensioner, and put on new tires. Any feed back would be appreciated.

Nice low mileage car. What options are on it? Engine? If it's a 2.0T, you need to research the oil consumption issue.

We just picked up a '10 Premium Plus, with 117K miles for $8K. Thought we did pretty well.

I pretty sure it's just the base options, not the premium. It is 2.0T engine. I'm little worried that it was owned by a mechanic, who could have put used or cut corners in order to sale the car. He did say that he didn't mind having a mechanic doing a pre purchase inspection.
