Don't know about an 09,10, but I can tell you repairs will not be cheap..:(
My son has a 96, and he is a automotive technician & the parts alone are putting him in the poor house.

Mileage is certainly something to consider but it doesn't give you the whole picture. I can have a car for under 10k miles and treat it like crap and race it up and down the street everyday, your best bet is to have a mechanic take a look at it and give you his opinion.

Ditto on what LatinP said!!!!!!!!!

The older models have been known to be expensive on repairs. My brother owns a 98 A4 2.8l, it's a great car but cost a lot on parts even if we do the repairs our self. My cousin owns a 06 A4 2.0T, not as many repairs and more dependable. So I would say they have been getting better. As far as the one you are looking it. It's been driven 15k a year, that's on the high side. If it is highway its okay but on local, that is heavy wear. On the plus side there is still warranty, if transferred.
