Default Bought a 2nd hand used Audi A5 coupe, what should i pay attention to or check

Hi guys, sorry for being a noob here.

Just went down and paid my deposit for a 2014 Audi A5 Coupe, what should i take note of or check? I requested the shop to send the car to audi dealership for an inspection.
I noticed that the brake calipers are rusting on one of the sides though

Please do advise, thank you in advance!

I'm about to schedule a 25,000 mile service for my 2014 A5 coupe.
Make sure you get the recall done re: the fuel pump/wiring.
I haven't had to pay attention to much of anything, though, the driver's side visor clip broke and needs replaced, and I had to replace the plastic side skirt of the driver's side seat that houses the seat controls.
Just follow the maintenance schedule for the vehicle, do what the dealer suggests within a reasonable amount of time, and ensure that the service history makes it on to carfax so you can hand the information over to any prospective buyers.
I wouldn't recommend having anyone that isn't an audi certified tech touch the vehicle. If you can find someone that has their own tuning shop that is registered with APR, do that instead of the dealership as they're probably a lot less costly.
