Default Looking to buy a MY03 Audi A6 Avant 2.5 TDI

Any buying advice. It has done nearly 80k, but appears all in order with the history. Been a local car, local bought and owned etc etc. It is a auto/tiptronic - not sure whether that makes a difference. Non quattro though.

Any idea when all the belts etc are changed ?

Cheers in advance.

My 3 year old A4 1.9 TDI had a major service at 60k with belt change etc, garage said it would be good for another 60k.

I ended up buying the car in question. It was a deal not to be missed.

Ive found the Audi forum on tyresmoke.net to be about the best - certainly the busiest.

I had A6 tdi V6 about 40mpg on a run.
A very good solid car was a manual though, oh and I sold it with 130K on it and it was still as tight as a new car. I would even have another one.
