Default 2001 a4 help?

hey guys. My girlfriend has been trying to find a car for a long while now and we just found this.
http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/817750846.html
We just went and test drove it, and everything on it seems fine, theres a gash in the left rear door like he hit a pole or something but nothing mechanically wrong with it.
what do you guys think? good? bad?
I just need some help because its a great deal and i dont want it to go to waste.

Get that! Even if it needs a few things you'll still be on top.

Sounds like a great deal but find out what level of maintenance has been performed. Around that mileage a timing belt change is common.
