sanity check in aisle 9.. 2005 a6 v8 sline

[thejimrose]

hey kids - just totaled the 08 a4 last week. need to replace it STAT. found
the above local with 47k, 1 owner, looks to be well maintained for $18k.
seems like a score. beautiful car. bit of a grandpa mobile but i need that -
slow it down a bit. little bigger, quieter, comfier, etc.

am i walking into a nightmare here? i know there's LOTS of doodads to break,
and the v8's can be expensive to maintain but what a nice car.

TIA
jim
