Default Buying a 2010 with 158k miles

Hello all. New here but I’m looking at picking up a 2010 S4 auto with 158k miles on it. It appears very well maintained and looks completely stock. It runs very smooth with not weird noises from the engine or drivetrain. The transmission does shift between 1 and 2 a little rough but I’ve been reading that it’s fairly common? The dealership has it listed for 10k. Is this a fair deal? And what are some other things to look for? Thank you

A 2010 with that high mileage and DSG tranny that is shifting hard, is a grenade with the pin pulled. Early generation was very prone to tranny problem, be prepared to add money. Suspension and motor mounts will most likely need refreshing. All the rest will be wear items as they cycle through the maintenance intervals.
