Default Newb needs some advice

I have a coworker that is selling a 2001 Mill yellow A4 coupe. She has given me a price of $22,750 and I can't think of a reason why I should pass this up. The car is fully loaded with all the options. There are no issues with the car and she is a very particulay person! I know the '01's have an oil consumption issue but she hasn't see that to date. Any reason I should pull the trigger. I will be selling my '01 Lightning and moving to the dark side.

Sounds like a pretty good deal. I wouldn't worry about oil consumption unless it becomes a problem.

The only issue for me, is its yellow.
The Convertible is a great ride, with the top down, the yellow center piece comes down, and is painted in body color.
Yellow would be the issue.

Thanks for all the help as I just purchased the car. By the way it had around 36,000 miles on it.

Yeah that sounds like a crazy good deal. I think the oil consumption problem is only when the car is driven at higher rpms for an extended period of time. At least thats what I have been told lol.
