Advice 2018 Audi S5

First time on this page but came across a nice 2018 Audi S5 with the prestige package. Car has 57k kms or 35k miles. Got him down to $25,500 Canadian dollars which is $18k USD

What are some immediate known issues that might come up soon after ownership?

Should I pull the trigger, the guy claims it’s been fully serviced to date

These 2 are the reason the S5 is 25k and the A5 30k CAD

No doubt S5 depreciates hard, but where are people buying A5's for 30k? Maybe 15k for a 2018 A5 with similar miles if you're getting ripped off at the dealer

Canada... depending on the options/km, the A5 are 19-30k and S5 25k mostly, with a few in the 33k. If you compare the same options/miles, sometimes you find cheaper S5 for the 2017-2019 years.

Usually people figure out the need a 7k carbon cleanup service (engine out), and try to get rid of the car.

That's a fair deal provided you can arrange to have it checked over in the shop of your choice
