Assuming that the car runs (and looks) great as of right now. Would I be completely wasting my money buying this car w/ so many miles on it.

I know Audi is a subgroup of VW, and I have always thought VW makes good quality cars, still.

Guy says he is putting a new timing belt in it now, but other than that, he claims it runs great. (I of course would take a drive before even considering).

Lastly, he wants like $3000 usd for it. Even if I could get it for $2000, would I still be crazy for buying it?

its a 1996 car so Ill guess many parts have been renewed the mileage represents that so does it have service history or receipts?? if it does its a good deal depending on condition
