Default 2012 Used A7

Hello,

I have no past experience with Audi, but recently came across a 2012 A7 that I cant keep my eyes off of. The car has 130,000 KM in Canada.

I was wondering what I should look out for? Does this model have any particular issues? How is reliability? How expensive is maintenance of this car?

If I take this car into an Audi dealership and get a pre-inspection, should that be enough to have a piece of mind?

Thank you very much for your help!

I bought a 2012 A7 last year that had about 161,000 KM on it. My research prior to buying was that the 3.0 supercharged engine (and the TDI also) is rock-solid and very dependable. My experience after putting on another 32,000 KM has been pretty good. A few electronic issues with the 'goodies' but in general pretty good. Oil changes are about 150 CAD from an independent (at least around here). I did my own spark plugs and pads and rotors. Lots of information out there to help out.
