Default I'm new and want some advice...

I'm brand new and considering buying an Audi A4 Quattro, but since I know zero about Audi, I'd like to draw on the knowledge and experience of the collective.

Is this car a good deal?
How much would you estimateto fix the cosmetic damage?
What can I expect as far as future costs involved with this car?
I know these are all noob questions, but I know nothing...seriously.
Basically, would you buy this car if you were me, and how much should I expect to put into it...

Thanks alot guys.

you need to find out a few things.

-is there any damage other than just cosmetic?
-was the timing belt changed for a second time? (if not done DIY it'll run close to a grand and needs to be done between 140k-160k)

if thoes two things check out then you could pick up a replacement fender, bumper, and hood from a junkyard or www.shokan.com for cheap and get yourself a pretty good deal, but i would try and haggle him down a couple hundred
