in a thread a few days ago. There's a blue 2005 S4 for sale on e-bay, from Kansas. Why do you say 'pass'? What do you know? Thanks.

If you run the VIN and notice how many times it went to the dealer w/ low miles...wouldn't you feel a bit skeptical? Personally, I wouldn't want to take the risk but if those service codes indicate general maintenence, then that car is a hell of a buy! Otherwise, I would stay away due to the fact of its service history. Also, knowing that it had less than a certain miles, it should only be at the service shop for the 5K & 15K mile service. That's it. The car is relatively new so why this and that?

I was also looking to buy this car also (same vin#) about two months ago from Superior Toyota in KS. But, thanks to UltraS4John, he suggested me that I ran the service record on the car to find out if there was anything wrong to it. I later called a local audi dealer to run the service record and found out that the car has been in and out for service for about 15 times. Wowww! I thought to myself this is a 2005 car and has this many service records??

The salesman from the dealer was so desperate in selling the car to me, he lowered the price from $41k to $36k (shipped to PA) within a week's time. I later found out a used car dealer from the same city (Merriam, KS) must have bought it from the Toyota dealer, and has been having no luck selling the car.

I'll say Pass to this car imho. I know the car still has the warranty and all, but you dont want to get stuck with the hassles of going in and out of the audi service shop for problems.
