I am going to look at a 2002 T/A WS6 A4 with about 66k miles today and was wondering if there is anything in particular I need to look out for (besides crooked used car dealers) or check. It is a fair drive so I won't be able to have my mechanic look it over. I am not afraid to get down and look at bushings. I know the basic stuff to check... carfax, shifts smooth, shocks, make sure I cant push the rear end side to side, all the *****, switches, etc... all the normal stuff you check on a used car.

But if there is anything that tends to go bad around that mileage on LS1s and what to look/listen for would be helpful.


(from what I've been told it is bone stock)

 

66k is pretty much new.

Check fluids, listen for strange sounds, drive the car, make sure everything electrical works, etc.... Pretty much anything you'd do to buy any other used car.

 

The car should be fine, especially if it's bone stock. Just as long as the fluids were changed accordingly. I would still check it out thouroughly just to be on the safe side, especially IF it comes with a "AS IS" warranty.
