Default Might be getting an a4 with 196k.....Should I get it?? Help or suggestions much appreciated!!

Not sure of how long an Audi engine usually lasts, but I am used to hondas.

Anyway there is a guy who is selling a 96 audi A4 quattro 2.7L with 196k. Said the previous owner was an Audi tech, and he wouldn't hesitate driving it up to California from Illinois.

Am I gonna get screwed over and have this thing break on me?? I just need this car until I leave for the Marines in about 6 months.

Also some little things are the a/c compressor doesn't work, and the driver keyhole doesnt work. So I would have to enter by opening passenger and pressing unlock, then walking to driver to open. To solve this I was gonna just get keyless remote and I wouldn't have to deal with it.

Any help or suggestions are MUCH appreciated. Thanks.

How long has the most recent owner had it? Sounds like you can get a better price with the problems you described, both of which would be a PITA-

By the way, thanks for your service to this wonderful country!
