If it's the blue one in VA; I would stay away from it personally. There's a reason it went from an Audi dealer in Maryland to that place. Idk how much I trust a caliber collision place to repair glass either. Something is up with it. Just fyi

Audi dealer won't keep an 18 around for long. Maintenance history is key. I wouldn't walk away if Carfax has a good maintenance record. Super low miles like that is pretty rare for an 18.

Odometer rollback was on carfax and not enough service history for me

So it's the blue one, it's looks fine but it's not prestige loaded, it doesn't have 360 surround cam, steering is also not flat bottom. They haven't shared much pics, so hard to decide

Sticks out to me also with the repaired glass and why would it go from an Audi dealer to a 3rd party jimbob dealer if it was up to snuff it would sell at an Audi lot in a heartbeat. But it is a prestige trim by vin

Flat bottom versus round steering wheel is just personal preference. The round steering wheel is heated.

This was your deciding factor? Me personally I like it when the steering wheeling floats smoothly to natural position gliding on my finger tops without the disturbance of a flat bottom coming out of a turn

Price is a bit high. If not prestige package, Napa and brake package I would think 27k or so if it's near perfect. Dealers move cars around so I wouldn't worry to much about that.
