That's funny, it could be a sign! Yes, I'm a far way from Essex. My profile says Los Angeles so no clue how Essex pops up. Yes, I think this could be a clear sign to steer away. Maybe record the Vin and check back in 2-3 years to check the carfax and see if this was a bullet dodged!

Hey all! Thanks for the replies. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Odd, it said I look but I actually didn't, I'm just seeing them all now. I'm on my work computer so maybe I used the browser. In any case, appreciate everyone's thoughtful replies. I haven't bought a car yet and I agree with the majority that is probably someone's headache that they finally decided to unload. I might test drive it one last time and see what I think and what type of warranty they offer. Some of these American dealerships offer a three month warranty on used car now-a-days. I'm approaching this car with a ten foot pole as I'd rather spend a few thousand for something more reliable. Will keep you all posted!

Hello all, I'm in the market for a used 2017-2020 A4. I found this one 2017 A4 with 70K miles that has had a plethora of fixes that should not happen at the given miles they happened, i.e., camshaft replaced, turbo replaced, valve gaskets replaced. Leads me to believe the prior owner either didn't change the oil soon enough or it had.an oil leak and the car just went haywire. I could be completely wrong with that assessment. In any case, the car has the 252HP engine and is going for $15,500 which could be a steal given all the new parts it has had.

Thermostat Housing/Gasket replaced 42K miles Camshaft replaced. Timing Chain tensioner seal replaced, Radio/Sound system repaired, Valve cover(s) replaced, Valve Gasket replaced 66K miles Turbocharger replaced/repaired My question is, could this be a steal because of all the new parts or is it a ticking time bomb for the next problem to arise. All serves were done at Audi and looks like the owner didn't spare any expense. Curious the forums thoughts especially anyone with mechanical knowledge. Thank you!
