It's at a dealer.</P>
Not sure the background yet. I was going to drive it this week.</P>
It's listed at $15,9, but the blue book I think is a couple grand less than that.</P>
Obviously 16k miles is low, but I don't know what kind of premium I should put on that if any. Because it probably sat around a lot and stuff can happen to a car in those situations...</P>

Id check carfax and see if its been through alot of owners or whatnot if it look okId buy it</P>

I will. </P>
Some old lady might have had it or something.</P>
My mother in law had a 10 yr old car the only had like 30k on it, so I know in certain situations it is possible to have that low of miles.</P>
A girl I work with has a 95 Saab Convert with only 36k miles on it. It was her dad's second car, and it was rarely driven.</P>
My concern is when stuff sits around and does not get used, it can develop leaks and other problems, and from what I have heard Audi's are very expensive to get fixed. </P>

Just pay the blue book on it, or maybe a little more. Dealers are usually aight about complying with that.</P>
As for mileage, a neighbor of ours had a '74 Corvette with 5,000 original miles. He had taken a picture every single year since he bought the car of the odometer with the date and its all totally documented. So anything can happen</P>
