at the price, its a good buy, the cam leak problem would have been fixed at that milage. The 2.8 motor is very silky smooth, my wife drives a 98 A4 2.8 and she loves it, it has 125k on it now.
My daily driver is a 2000 A4 1.8T with 57k on it.
Audi's before 2000 have some problems, timing belts for one, change at 75k to be on the safe side, otherwise it could toast the motor when it breaks $$$$. Front control arms where a problem but they where recalled. The best glitch is the abs controller, when it goes out your brakes still work but the abs system goes out. The dealer tells you the whole unit needs replacing and at 1200 bucks plus labor, ouch. There are a couple businesses that have new life due to the abs, they fix the bad solder job from bosch and charge you 250 bucks with a guarentee, problem solved. Audi will not recall the abs cuz its not a safety issue, brakes still work even thou a light stays on telling you the abs is not working.
At 100k this audi may have or may not have the abs system fixed, ask.
Hope this helps, enjoy, audi's can be real good or a pos, used ones tend to test your car picking abilities.
