2019 Audi S4 — online auction photos barely show the underside

MarketHunter747Community StarterJun 12, 20262019 Audi S4 Premium PlusNorthern Virginia
2019 Audi S4 Premium Plus, about 106,500 miles. Auction listing has lots of cosmetic photos and records, but not much underneath. For an older enthusiast car, what questions or photos would you request before bidding remotely? I am trying to get the facts straight before spending money.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2019 Audi S4 numbers without them. If they balk, that's your answer. On “online auction photos barely show the underside,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. A written buyer’s order on the 2019 Audi S4 is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” Do that before you talk monthly again. This is from a 2019 Audi S4 in Northern Virginia with 106,500 miles. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

Not convinced that's the whole story. Two 2019 Audi S4 quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. That's the part that actually changes the decision. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If they only talk monthly I'm walking.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. Two 2019 Audi S4 quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Stop there until you know. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
