Maintenance(tb/water pump/thermo/belts). Oil leaks(vc, seals, pan) look at the air filter if they sell a car w/ a dirty filter what else is dirty/neglected?

Thanks! i know the timing belts on audi's are crucial. any specific sounds i should be looking for? rattles? do bad turbos make bad sounds? on the internet it looks extremely clean and it was a one owner car.

It's people like you who are to blame for the state of the world. If no one ever let them out of the kitchen, they never would've learned about voting. Nice job dick.
