Awesome. Congrats. I had a 2005 I sold around 50k miles.
The only things that you're really going to have to worry about right now that I know are the auxiliary radiators and the control arms.
Keep an eye on the aux radiators (they're in lower airdam on each side) in case they rust or puncture. The control arms seem to wear a little faster than other cars.
Enjoy it in good health. I really miss mine.

Awesome
and exactly what charliemike said, design of those arms are pretty good and much better than other cars but wear faster than others

Well the Audi love/hate relationship begins. The car just started misfiring, ill be bringing it to the dealer tomorrow. I'm hoping it's just the coil packs, MAF, or spark plugs and not something major like the timing chain assembly or scored cylinder walls.

Thanks guys, the good news is I bought from a European service shop and not a dealer so I have a good place to go for maintenance and repairs. I'm actually here now getting a coil pack replaced.

There was a coilpack recall at one point that covered the S4. You should check with the local Audi dealer and see if they were ever replaced.
If not, you're probably entitled to new ones.

Seems like coil packs are a common issue on the 4.2 motor. I replaced mine at the beginning of the year on my Q7. She's a beauty. Try to keep it under 100

^^ I just learned from an audizine member (former owner of this car), that they sold it due to scored cylinder walls. It looks like I am going to return it because I doubt they will give me a brand new engine.
