control arms - check to see if the car squeaks at all when you drive it. 115k is about that age where control arm bushings and sockets tend to die. Thats about all I can think of since the TB is done and you dont have a turbo.

AAAAH the thrill of buying a new car remember cash talks if everything looks Ok try offering him 7500 in cash make sure to remind him it needs new tires</P>


and speaking of tires make sure you replace them all or buy the same type for the rearthey sayputing different tires on a car with allwheel drive/Quattro can screw up the diffs</P>


Good luck</P>
