What to look for.....
I am looking at a 2003 225qc (there is another one, 2004qc with 10K more miles, similar price) and since i am not really mechanically inclined, I wanted to know what I should be looking for. Car has 50K miles on it and has a clean CarFax. It is not CPO or anything, just a used car dealer, got it from an auction.
I know the timing belt should (needs) to be changed on either one I get which I will use to negotiate $1000 off or something but is there anything else I should look for. Done alot of reading (coil packs, tranny, etc) but like I said, I am more of a 'take my car, give me that car' kind of dude.
Any pointers would be great.

Check front swaybar for creeks/noise though i believe they are more prominent on pre '03. Timing belt and the the Haldex service would be 1 & 2 definitely though. Not engine related but the pixels in the cluster can be dead also.
