Default Question about buying a high mileage A4....

So I'm planning on getting my first car soon and I've negotiated a price for a 1998 A4 for $3400.00 Canadian dollars with certification and e tests included. However, the mileage is currently sitting at 204,000! The car itself looks sleek and has been stored indoors but I'm wondering, is this a good buy? Keep in mind I only need the car for the next 2-3 years and don't plan on having it last for several years.

Also, the owner has told me that there is a small oil leak and the ABS system is down.

Here is the link: 1998 Audi A4 2,8 Quattro Sedan - Mississauga / Peel Region Cars For Sale - Kijiji Mississauga / Peel Region Canada.

Should I buy this car?

misfire problems means I'd look into the coil pack FIRST and foremost
