Default Considering '15 S5

This Wed, I'm checking out and test driving a 2015 S5 with 25K miles on the clock. Have never owned an Audi... have owned Lexus, Corvette, Acura's, etc... and kind of know my way around a rig. Anything specific to be on the look-out for with a 1-owner '15?

They are solid cars. Mine is a 2015 @ 26000 miles and I have had no issues at all.
Look at the brake rotors and pads for signs of excessive heat. ( if tracked it will show here but that shouldn't necessarily be a deal killer). Check the option list for Audi Drive Select and for Sport Differential. Both are desirable options.
If you buy it, read up on using a generic SIM card to access Audi Connect. It works on these cars. I use an AT&T card in mine off my family share account. ( $10.00 per month)

Do your research, cargurus.com is a good one. Get a good idea of what they're going for, offer a few grand less, and good luck.

Yup... did lots of reading... researched pricing... and bought a pristine '15 S5 Premium (25K miles on the clock and balance of factory warranty). The original owner upgraded the Premium with the B&O stereo, nicer 18" wheels etc., so it's a hybrid of Prem and Prestige. The rig was $3.5K under-market (according to CarGuru) and they took a lower offer so it went for $5K under-market. This will be my new DD... and I'm sure there will be some "long way home..." afternoons coming up soon!!
