The miles don't scare me, providing the maintenance was always done. But considering that the miles are up there, it's 15 years old, the cats are gutted by the sounds of it, this car isn't perfect. So that gives you room to negotiate.

Exactly. Ill do my homework on it before seeing it Friday. Always good to give hard facts when negotiating.

Hey Massboykie, luckily I've went over two out of the three links there. Tons of good info and lots of things to write down/remember. I'm big on receipts, word of mouth IMO can't be trusted.

Still looking or do you have an Audi in your garage now?

Hey Highmile,

I put a down payment on the first link. I went to look at it and the car is in GREAT condition. Nothing wrong from what I could see. Checked out all the trouble spots. Took her for a drive. No idiot lights. I think the only things that could be better about the car is fixing the sagging head liner and redoing some of the clear coat on the car.....that's about it LOL.

The search is over. Signed the title and got the car on the road. Thanks everyone for your recommendations. The car drives great so far. No real major issues. A few odds and ends to replace on her but nothing major.

Congratulations! Imho, no better car for tanking through a blizzard. Check back in if you get tangled up with any repairs, or you catch the modding bug.
