drove it today - very fun to drive; has a little turbo lag but not too bad

they want $7,000 for this 2002 Allroad with the twin turbo V6, 151,000 miles - I'm not sure what the Bluebook is on it.

I'm not sure Tim's comment re hours from the nearest Audi dealer is important - it is out of warranty & a shop will just order OE or OEM parts if/when it needs a fix. Am I missing something? Does it require a special engine computer that only the dealer has?

Carfax swears it is a one owner vehicle.

It has curb rash on all 4 wheels (or maybe those things are wheel covers); many small scratches on silver exterior paint - not deep.

Broken cup holder and mesh map pocket on the interior; LR power window is inoperable.

Looking at the Carfax, it appears the owner had to replace the brakes about every 15,000 miles. There are several entries early on re "engine/powertrain computer module checked" - it was purchased & serviced for its first 4 years/64k miles in Portland.

After 64,000 the only service records relate to emissions (in Vancouver, Washington which is just across the river from Portland) being passed. I'd bet that the dealer or shop servicing it there changed from his Portland address, and the records were not picked up by Carfax.

It was sold at auction 2x and wound up at this low end lot in a crummy part of town. I'm not sure if that is a red flag or not...

I can get a local shop to do a PPI for $126 but I guess I'd better assume it will need a new timing belt right away... I don't think there is any way for them to inspect that.

It has an oil smell after driving it - the used car guy said they had a valve cover replaced, so I'm not sure what really means. Maybe it is about to blow up...

The air adjustable suspension will move it up and down (very slowly) - so, it works at least right now. I'm not sure how I can test that w/o letting it sit 24 hr.s where I can watch it. (I did have him set the car all the way high when I left it on the lot, so if it is back down low tomorrow morning that might be a suspicion but is not diagnostic; if still high then it is likely good).
