Default Wow, looks like a nice car for the money.

If it has all the service records, and if maintainence was performed in full and on schedule, I'd buy it for $21,000.

Default um ... "40K service completed in 10/2002" ... this car has 75K and it's 2006!!

If this is the last service that the owner can even remotely provide proof off .... ugh.

Also, the seller has a feedback of 27. I'd have that car gone over with a fine toothed comb before considering it.

Lastly .. is it my imagination or is that battery sticking up about 2"+ farther than it should?

Default Yeah, sounds like a BIG gap!

I'm thinking this thing needs at LEAST a timing belt, water pump, control arm here and there, etc. Still . .

Default >shrug<

These are the things you need to do to any S/A8 of that age. I wouldn't even consider the 75K service (timing belt procedure) a deal maker or breaker.

But yeah; in the case of this car, I'd want to know that the oil had been changed some time in the last 35,000 miles 8p
