Default Should I buy?

2002 Audi A4 1.8T FWD ---190,000 kms.

$5000.

I've checked and test drove the car. No rattles no nothing.

FWD? Really? Audi is known for their excellent AWD quattro system so personally I'd never consider a FWD. I see you're on the coast where you don't have the snow but surely your roads get icey and if you're ever gonna take a trip to the curvy roads of the mountains the AWD system is top-notch.
If you can look past this and still want it I'd make sure that the timing belt was replaced around the 120,000km mark. If it has 190,000km I'm thinkin that would have been done but it'd be best to check. It's about a $1000 job.
I bought my 2000 with 135,000km and it wasn't done.
It might be a good idea to get it scanned from a reputable shop that deals with audi.
Mine was running really rich so my gas mileage was s@$t until I replaced the oxygen sensors and the air flow sensor.
But either way i think they're a great car and they're real head turners. If you do buy it you should look up apr tuning APR - High Performance Development for Audi, VW and Porsche Vehicles. I think. For about $450 you can tune your new A4 and that'd give you an extra 50hp.
Good luck
