Default Also Crashed .. Total .. Need help on next buy

Yup I know sad story again.

Here are the pics

Notice in the next one the crooked seats ...


and if you are wondering what happend well





Ok so now I need to buy a new one and this is what I found

Audi a4 2.8 Quattro 1996
Pearl White(new paint form this summer) interior black leather.
Manual - 260 000km or 162 000 miles
Boss 6 speaker withintegrated sub 8" in the back seat
dropped suspension (Eibach)
nEW maGS - 2003 aUDI sPORT pACK with Falken tires
dual tip universal Exhaust


My first concern is the Milleage. Can I trust the car with that much milleage ?

Second concern, the high price 8500$ Can or 7500$ US

I know there is a new paint and new mags but I still find it a bit high.

Any sort of comments/Help will be appreciated.

Well I lost control , did a 360 spin then another 540 spin in the other direction the car then slided over trhe brick wall to go hit the pole.

My friend told me we were going 210km befire I hit the breaks.

Don't ask me why we did that I don't know. my brain doesnt have the answer....

Well I'm gonna do an inspection at the dealer (2 hours inspection , like I did with my last purchase) Will to the compresion test and everything.

But still What are these engine able to take normally ?

and for a 1996 A4 2.8 what should be a good price ? cause when I look at the VMR Guide the price is very low.

Pre '98 2.8's have the 12V instead of 30V and 12V sucks. The 2.8 30V isn't mind blowing and I'm willing to bet the 12V leaves ALOT to be desired.
