Default Trunk light warning!!

I am about to buy a 2000 A8 and one of the problems it has is the warning light stays on as if the trunk is open. So I close the trunk and it stays on then eventually it goes off. This is and intermitant problem. Any ideas!!! How much???

Also when I test drove the car I tried the windshield washers and it did not work. Then I saw washer fluid coming from under the car. It seems to me a washer line broke? As well the left headlight washer does not pop up? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Default All things that are broke that need to be fixed

Not real hard, but if you brought it to the dealer probably $500. Do it yourself for $150.

the head light washer pops up on pressure I think. It could explain the fluid leak.
