It is a 2000 S4 with 90,000 miles. It is silver with grey (white)/black interior. It has manual transmission and the car is really in mint condition. The owner is asking $17,000... The main problem is the lack of ANY SERVICE RECORDS. I drove the car and everything seemed ok. The owner has agreed to have the car inspected, but what do you think? Pass it up or what? Thanks for any help.

good price, have a dealership pull its records. any mods?

AtlanticVortex

No mods, and owner said he did not take it to Audi dealership past the 50,000 mile warranty...

You can get one with much lower mileage for just a couple thousand more. I would shop around. No records doesn't mean much. The saab dealer never wanted to give me receipts for service. They always said it was in their system. As DM-S4 says, ask the guy to get the records from his dealership.

Certainly it was serviced during those 90K miles, right? Wasn't it serviced at the dealer? Even if he lost HIS records the dealer has them all on file. If this car was not maintained by the dealer and the guy also has no records, then is he a mechanic? If so, I'd say if the car looks mint and drives good then have it inspected and if all goes well then buy it.

What about the 90K is there high risk of turbo failure if the car is stock?

Captain Matt, I be

some grenade turbos after 10k while running stock boost, others last well over 100k chipped on stock turbos.

Captain Matt, I be

expense immediately after purchase

blown turbos= best reason to get k04s! the faster they blow the better.

Having turbos replaced costs about $5K - $6K, do you have that much cash in your savings account?
