Good deal. Jump on it. If they started the price at $6500, you might even be able to get it for $6k flat! That would be a borderline insane deal.

Good point. A good (and German) Audi mechanic is checking it out tomorrow. But it does come with a CarFax. And it's a southern car so there is no rust.

Is this a Craig's list or eBay deal, or a local one?

Have been some scams out there lately with deals which turned out to really be too good to be true. Would advise shying away from something you can not kick the tires on in person if that is the case.

If it is local at that price and checks out with the mechanic...get it!
