You would have to read the fine print but I think that's the deal. They will tell you exactly what they think of the car and they look over it with a fine tooth comb. I would buy it man. Looks like a pretty clean car to me. May I say.... Welcome to the forums!!

 

Yes, if for any reason they misrepresent the car, you can walk away. But it is your job to get the car checked out.
It might be worth it for you to have them take it to a shop of your choosing, before you bid.

I always have a shop check out a used car, most of time nothing major is wrong, but you get to add up all the little things, and every time, I have had
the seller take a lot of money off the car. On my S4 I had them take $6000 off the asking price.

 

The Audi i've bought on EBay had 1 ball joint done and a CV boot cut. Dealer on Ebay
send me some money to get it fixed. The Key here is to give your feed back to the dealer
after every checking have been done from your side. Most of the time dealer's will do
anything in order to get a positive feedback and clear there Ebay reputation. Bad reputation
(Feedback) no sales. Buy your car, do the inspection then write your feedback. You should
not have any problems.

To DrjOndurst, yes the timing belt is 50 $ but it's a 5-6 hours job, + you'll have to replace
rollers and belt binders will changing Timingbelt. + lots of people change there water pump too.
So add up everything and you wont be to far from 1000 $ unless your a mech and you do it
yourself. (30 valves, you better be sure of what you're doing.)

 

also, don't forget its not a 2001.5...not that it matters to you...very nice ride...if only it had alcantra.

 

great/clean looking S4 .. yes do what they tell ya get it checked out locally and if it checks out, you'll have yourself a clean S4..

Good Luck!!!

 

Agreed on the timing belt analysis. The actual parts are maybe 25% of the cost, with labor being the rest. A dealership will quote you about $1,200, and an indy will probably quote you $1,000.
