u/ur-a-no-no

I’ve recently been looking for a new car that I can daily as my 2000 golf I currently have is just not comfortable for my 35 min drive to work and back. I work a a dealer, and recently was talking to one of the old techs that visits the shop all the time if he had any cars for sale. he owns an Audi/vw specialty repair shop. he told me that he is selling his personal car, an Audi A6 3.0 supercharged v6. In the past couple months he’s put a bunch of work into it as he wants to sell it.
Mileage: 215k
Everything new:
All new Meyle control arms
Meyle ball joints
Meyle struts
Meyle tie rods
Alignment
Full ZF trans service with flush
Awd service
Oil changes every 3k miles with BG additive for timing chain
New water pump
New vaccum pump
New spark plugs/coils
Stage one tune
The car is also mint, no rust at all and interior and exterior looks amazing.
Also was road tested by me and it felt great
this car has been family owned for the past 120k miles of its life and has been meticulously maintained. he has service records of everything he’s done thru his shop.
Only bad thing about this car is that timing has never been done and it does have a chain slap on cold starts. but I’ve been told that’s common on these engines and that timing rarely goes bad if oil quality is maintained. He wants 8k for it but knowing timing hasn’t been done and that it needs new tires I might try to go down to 7.5k with cash in hand. not sure if it’s a dumb decision because of the mileage but I really feel that this is a strong car just because of the maintenance put into it through its life. please let me know as I’m a vw guy and don’t really know much about the newer Audis. Thanks!

wasn't sure where else to post this lol. Im 17 years old and have been thinking about buying my dream car already. Im in a situation where I have worked my ass off and have parents who are willing to let me live with them rent free for a couple years. I have been working at a ford dealer as an apprentice in a trade program with my school for about a year now and just got my first big raise to 23/hr as I have graduated. This will compound into more raises every 3-6 months per my training plan as I progress and become an independent tech on flat rate. I also work at target on the weekends leading to about 10 hrs/ a week at 15.75/hr. My checks combined with both jobs are about $1800 bi-weekly. I have $10k in savings as well as a $5k car fund given to me by my grandma. Given the situation I am in, I'm able to have tons of more freedom with my money while still saving like crazy. This leads me to a decision that sounds bad financially but would make me very happy. I want to buy a Mk4 Volkswagen R32 as my next daily driver. Costs on these cars are about $15-25k depending on mileage and condition. I know vehicles are depreciating assets and aren't good investments but I want to be able to have this car now rather than wait 5 or so years where there is less of them out there leading to them costing more. I'm just very on the fence. I can easily make up the money again in under a year, but I don't want to make a decision that's a waste of my time and money. Thanks for reading, pls let me know thoughts😅
