I think you are taking a big gamble. Some Audi owners are excellent about the care, maintenance and operation of their vehicles. I know of another guy that purchased a 2001 Audi S4 and it broke to the tune of 5,000 dollars plus, to include a new transmission. Since you cannot tell I would recommend you consider another brand with better reliability record. I own a 2001 TT Roadster and to give an example, the glove box latch broke (there is a history of this problem due to poor design). Parts and labor is just about $1,000!! Imagine that. I have not fixed it since I do not need it. I have had the instrument cluster replaced twice and the fuel gauge is still not working correctly. Sorry for the bad news. But you are taking a big risk. Good luck.
