Default Considering an A7 TDI

Greetings everyone. I am considering a 2016 Audi A7 TDI and according to the Audi lookup page the mods have been performed even though it is not for sale by an Audi dealer. Any issues with these models and the 3 liter TDI in general??I have driven several diesel cars in Europe and love the massive torque and incredible fuel efficiency. Any issues with smell especially at idle and with the Rec setting off in the HVAC ?? Here is the possible car:

I am aware that you need to add the urea fluid and it seems pretty easy to do. Thanks in advance.

Make sure you get this car checked out. I went and test drove it and the check engine light was on. It had everything I was looking for as well but between the miles and then the light coming on I decided to stay away.

I bought a 2016 TDI Prestige, white, 16K miles for my wife. It is a gem of a car. Has the Nougat interior with layered oak trim. I think it came with most every option available with an MSRP sticker of $80K. My wife loves it, and so do I. I would not hesitate to recommend a 2016 TDI Prestige. The positives on that car are the one owner, and it is a South Carolina car (no salted roads, right?) Also, looks like brand new Continental Extreme Contact tires, premium all season. Has the same 20" rims as we have. I like black cars, but my wife wanted a white one. I should mention the engine has no smell, and gets outstanding mileage (averaged 36mpg at 80mph on 850 mile trip) Very quick off the line and great passing "umpff" with the massive torque. I would not be interested in a TFSI V6 turbo model after driving this diesel.

Thanks and that's what I have read. I would not mind the gasoline version but the 427 Foot pound of torque is enticing. I assume that when the new model coms out there will be several used cars for sale and this time I will definitely jumped on it. I lost two car in the past two weeks for not jumping on them quickly enough. Enjoy your ride.
