Default Is this a good deal?

Hello! I'm new to the boards. PLEASE don't flame me, I drive a 2007 Dodge Caliber which drives great, but is pretty slow, and being a 19 year old college student that's no fun. ANYWAY.

I can get about $16,000.00 for my car, and I've been looking around lately and found this http://www.lemonfree.com/36660213.html
is that a good deal? I've never looked at buying an Audi before and figured this would be the best place to ask. It looks immaculate in person and is very clean. For it being a 2001 with 160,000k miles, is that decent? I know my cousin had a Honda Civic that had 320,000k miles when he traded it in and he never had a single problem with it. How reliable are these cars? The reviews I've read online seem pretty good, just thought it would be best to hear it from some drivers!

Thanks!

high mileage TTs are not good college student cars. You'll be using your student loan money to cover repairs.

What kind of repairs? One of my friends is a mechanic and has his own shop so if the parts aren't too expensive he can do the labor for me for free.

Use this advice.

Im 21 now, am in college myself and bought my TT when i was 18, but it only had 19k miles on it. 160k sounds like someone is getting rid of it due to high maintenance cost. I know i won't keep my TT that long (probably) because it will be way too expensive maintenance-wise. I would not buy ANY car with that kind of milage, and recomend you dont either.

If you can get $16k for your Dodge why are you looking at 160k mi TTs anyway? For that money you can find one with WAY less miles than that!

Good luck.
