Potential to buy ‘15 wagon
I’ve been an avid Audi guy and had an RS4 and a few S4s. Always been a big fan of wagons and have an ‘08 A4 wagon as a beater. I have the option to buy a family members E63s wagon for what I believe is a great deal. Car has about 85k mi and has what I think is just about every option besides the CCB. It just received new pads/rotors/tires all around as well as plugs. I know it’s been tuned and has at least an exhaust but haven’t asked too much further. I’m an avid car guy who wrenches on my own cars, but this opportunity was just sprung in my so I don’t know everything about it yet.
What should be anything I should look out for? I’m being offered first look at the car for $32k as a family discount.

Nevermind the transmission, concentrate on the engine. Specifically get the compressions measured with a gauge and get a borescope inspection of the cylinders for scoring marks.

I have 2010 E550 sedan and would love to have a wagon with options I have.
If there are no obvious big issues with it, go for it.
