2006 Audi S4 buy or no? Help some tech q's
Ok guys I really am in he market to buy this 2006 Audi s4 Quattro automatic with only 85,000kms on it, I took it for a pre purchase inspection at Audi dealership, few mechanic stuff like rotors and brakes no big deal, but then they scanned it and told me it has multiple codes in vehicle system??? There no check engine light or anything, so now are these old codes that never been reset ? Are they new? How do I know what needs to be fixed exactly? Is it worth buying this car? I attached the pics of the codes that dealer sent me via email. Hope yu guys can help me out thanks

Can't tell when those would have occurred. O2 and Cat messages could be intermittent because the car has been sitting without being driven until recently. Seat related errors are probably because the battery charge is low. I have used VCDS myself on numerous occasions including getting CEL on my own cars.
1st thing I always do is clear codes and see how quickly they come back. When I had failed coilpacks, the errors came back immediately. most other low voltage related codes tended not to occur again unless there was an actual hard fault.
Up to you to factor in some potential short term maintenance costs into whatever offer price you may or may not decide on.
