It seems pretty legit my main thing is fueling and tune.

The seller tells me that the car was previously owned by an audi tuner/mechanic, and that all the parts and tune were done by him. is no one worried about the 216,000 miles lol

i'd skip this one. self tuned? the 216,000 miles isnt that big of a deal if the turbos, t-belt and accessories were all done recently.

I got a 02 S4 with 100,000 for that price. Keep looking theres a better one out there. If you dont know much about Audis mechanically then its gonna cost you an arm to repair god forbid anything goes wrong.
