Anyone have experience with higher mileage Audi B8 S4?
I’m looking at buying a 2011 S4 that had a new transmission installed at 120k miles (currently has just under 130k miles) which relieves my fear of the mechatronic unit going soon after purchase. Any other issues to be aware of?

I’ve had an A8L and A6 that both made it to ~200k miles and was wondering if this is a reasonable life expectancy for a B8 S4 without any other major mechanical issues to be concerned about?

I work remote so I won’t be putting a lot of mileage on the car, so the higher mileage isn’t a concern for me provided there are no major issues that come up. Basically just want a fun car to get from A to B mostly in town

Don't buy an Audi/VW unless you want to constantly be dropping it off at your mechanic.

Does it come with a book of maintenance records?

I have had a handful of friends with B8 S4's some got them new, and most got them used, I will say that it's 100% based on the maintenance and how it was taken care of.

Is it still on a stock tune or has the engine been modified at all in some way? To me that would just be a big red flag with any used VAG product
