Default Just some questions..

Hey guys, im trying to get a A4 but before i buy it i just want to know what i should look for. Any major problems that occur? The car is a 1999 A4Q 1.8t with 97000 and its 5-spd. If someone can tell me somethings that i should look for that would be great. The guy whos selling it told me that the back tail light needs to be replaced and the exhaust was leaking but he got it fixed. Any advice?





Thanks

FA
