Default Besides the body/undercarriage, check things that

are specific to the urquattro. If you worked at a dealer and are familiar with the 4kq's then you already have a good knowledge of Audis. I would say make sure the previous owner(s) didn't mickey mouse any repairs.

Default Get all the records too. These cars were passed round so you want to know the history...

...key stuff, bomb, tie-rods, radiators, suspension parts (bushing etc), Oil cooler and hoses in and out (very expensive to replace) and if the car is modded make sure to get documentation so you know what has been done to it in case you have a problem down the road. Any question on parts and where to get them, just post here. Chances are one of us will know what to do. I'd definately buy one thou. So much fun to drive.
