Default need advice: considering a stock 2001.5 w/76K for $12.5K

standard maintenance has been performed.

ignoring mods for now, any suggestions on what maintenance i should factor into the cost for this car for the next year (15K miles)?

- timing belt?
- clutch?

the price seems decent

Timing belt now. Clutch not until you go K04s.

Location? Only pay that much if it's clean...there are many cheaper S4s (but, few good ones)

Default Hmm...I feel that 11-11.5 is a good target...find out if the timing belt service has been done

If not, offer 11...if so, 11.5...

Great opportunity for bipipe, snub mount, ICs if you need to do the TB after all.

Default I got my stock 2002 S4 with 122k on it for $10k with timing belt done amongst other things

This car was mint when i bought it. I have all the records back to 11 miles and it was a one owner car. The guy spent about $10k in maintainence along the road. New tires and brake pads. Price seemed about right to me. It doesnt sound like youre too far off with the $12k figure.
