You will want to ask the Audi dealer to check the car thoroughly and it wouldn't hurt to mention looking at the front suspension, etc. However, there is no substitute for having the service records. Then you are 100% sure what has been done and when.

You often can't tell if the timing belt needs replacement, they look fine and will still break. On the 1.8T motor, the original service on the timing belts was 105,000 miles. No one goes that long even though the belt can loook fine at 80,000 miles. They can break anytime over 60,000.

Good luck finding a car. I love my 99.5 Avant.
