Default Tampa area favor?

My sister is looking into buying this car, but would like an unbiased opinion of it's condition before she proceeds.

http://www.auditampa.com/certified/A...61ccbe8319.htm

It's at the Audi Tampa dealer:
Audi Tampa
105 East Fowler Avenue
Tampa, FL 33612

This is a pretty rare color/option (manual transmission) S5; exactly what she has been searching for.

Many, many thanks!!

Give me some specific to look for. I work a few blocks from there.

I can tell you the dealer has a good reputation in the area.

Looks like someone was a bit aggressive on the brakes. Other than that the pics look good

Brakes looks fine to me, been sitting and some light surface corrosion. Take around the block it will be fine.

Nate,
Thank you. I have someone else who happens to be a current customer that is going to swing by there. He also stated the same about their reputation.
My sister is having a local dealer (in VA) purchase the car for her, so she doesn't want anyone to tip off any interest in the car.

I'll ping you if that falls through.

Must be my phone making the rotors look blue and gold. Good luck hope it works out. My wife was very specific about her 3 series, what a pain in the a$$. Lucky for me it was a more popular color combo

I think 20-30 OSO'rs should show up to "test drive" the Audi!

Or better yet, let Ken Block do the test drive:
