Default Buying used 2000 S4 with 20k miles. Anything I should check for problems?

I am considering buying a used 2000 S4 with 20k miles from a dealer. Is there any known problems/recalls on 2000's that I should look into before buying.
What year was having the blown turbo problems? Do S4's have the tie rod problem like the A4's do? Anything else?

Thanks - Wes

Tie-rod recall does not apply to a 2000 S4.

Default Well, some folks *think* that the 2000's are more prone to have turbo problems....

...there has been a ton of discussion on this in the past, I'd suggest doing some searches against the "S4 Forum" and draw your own conclusions.
