Default buying an A4 w/ 80k

So I am car shopping right now and leaning towards an audi A4 3.0 Quattro. It has 80k miles on it and the dealer wants 14000, is this reasonable? I really like the car and might get it, however I don't know how well audis hold up at higher mileage. The carfax report showd no wrecks with only services. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks

i would stay away actually. the 3.0 is so much harder to work on and will cost you out the *** for repairs, i would look for a 1.8T instead of a 3.0, especially if your looking for somewhat high mileage. or if you want the v6 get a 2.8, much cheaper to work on

I've heard the 3.0 engine is pretty durable.
I've got similar mileage on mine and no problems to speak of.
If you're planning to mod though, go for the 1.8 - you can't do hardly anything to the 3.0.

I would keep looking. Im sure you can find a 3.0 at that price with lower mileage. The 3.0 is just as reliable as the 2.8
