1. good deal
2. I wouldn't go for it. its a 2000 and 7200 is a down payment for a 09'
3. take a test drive on it first, if it's not okay, then take a test drive somewhere else. It's always good to know what you're getting in to before you get stuck with a bad lemon and then can't sell it.
4. Dude!.. L@@K OUT!.. I see a snake and smell a RAT!.. First off, aside from the paint having a multitude of flaws, the A6 appears to be in good condition, externally... But, I highly doubt that all proper maintenance was completed at an Audi dealership due to the sloppy scratches on the wheel screws and the way the weights are applied to the wheel. Also, I have never heard of any Audi dealership that puts Yokohama tires on the cars they service. Yes, Audi's can have Yokohama's on them, but everyone I know got them from a tire shop and not the Audi dealership. In addition, examine the picture of the engine, I have never heard of an Audi dealership installing an "Interstate" battery as OEM equipment when they replaced a battery. On the navigation system, ??? The ad says that it has a navi system, where is it? I hope they are not listing that in the ad then planing on throwing in a portable system when you ask about it... I don't know, I just have never heard of an OFFICIAL Audi dealership using those parts ever, so buyer beware! I have been driving either an Audi, MB or BMW since I was 16 years old and have never seen any (German) dealership do things like that on any of my family's cars. If the seller will lie about something little, what will they do about something big? Regardless of whether or not the seller made a mistake explaining that "all" maintenance was done at an Audi dealer, the fact is they did and they should be able to prove it. They should have a printout for every last bit of the scheduled factory maintenance, and anything else that may of arisen like tires or a battery. The price isn't bad based on the http://www.kbb.com/ and http://www.nada.com/ websites, but ALL of those maintenance records have to be verified or else you could be purchasing a serious MONEY PIT!.. When you don't properly maintain an Audi, there are always side effects for using cheaper parts, lubricants, fuels, tires, etc, always!.. Before investing in this auto it's best to have the vehicle inspected by a certified Audi mechanic that you choose and pay for. This will help you gauge the sellers honesty by how much they cooperate with the inspection. Also, get a http://www.carfax.com/ report prior to purchasing. Trust me, these things will pay off in the future!.. If it turns out that you discover some "issues" after verifying and doing these things and you (still) truly want this Audi, at least you have grounds to negotiate the price lower. Just be careful though because an Audi is like a child. If you don't raise (maintain) them properly, you always develop complications...and sometimes those complications scar for life (of the vehicle)... *,..,* Good luck with your decision!..
