Default Advice on buying a 2011 Q7 with 35k miles.

Hi, I am considering a 2011 Q7 with 35k miles.

This would be my first Audi.

I feel like I'm relatively good at "inspecting" a used car but if you guys can give me any specifics which I should look for, any noises I should pay attention to etc.

Its got a good service history and I also saw a list of various items that were repaired or replaced over the years. Not a ton of stuff. I think I recall a some kind of crank sensor and a few other items.

It was sold as certified preowned back in 2015 (whatever that means) and I believe its had the 35k mile maintenance performed.

Check the sunroof drains and search this forum for info regarding this design flaw.

I think the sunroof was "serviced" but will check again for stains in the headliner.

Regarding the design flaws, any suggestions on specific search terms.

Default check the service history

that is pretty low mileage! my 2012 S/PRES is just shy of 118,000 and still performs and looks like it is new, so one with that low of mileage should give you years of trouble free service.

That is extremely low miles. I would want to make sure fluids have been changed on it before you put it into service.

What do you think is a fair asking price if you had to guesstimate?

What trim package? Age is going to bring the price down more than miles. My bank says between 17-22k.

Premium Plus.

Damn, thats a pretty big range.

I would say its in very good to excellent condition. Even the undercarriage is in really good condition. Nothing looks out of place and very little surface rust.
