WTK: What to look for in used B7 or B8 Audi A4

Postby Allergic2BunnyEars » September 15th, 2011, 12:42 am

Hi, heard good things about trinituner so I came here to get useful info.

Considering purchasing a local used Audi A4. Most likely local used. Before I purchase is there anything in particular (e.g issues, problems, tricks, scams, required maintenance) to look out for in used A4's? Said vehicle would be 2008 or newer and my target mileage is max 65000 km.

Can anyone point me in the direction of service manuals online as well? I understand this is the Euro board but would any of you not recommend a used A4 with these figures and why :?:

used car is cat-in-bag. just pray. carry a skeptikal mechanic. check out d body very well look for paint refinishing marks. check for creaky control arms in the front. look out for tyre condition, paint condition. doors that wont open on the first go (the doors and locks are electronically controlled).
Engine power (but if u never own one before u wont really know what the power supposed to be like)
