Casually looking online for a vehicle.
I see this. It's not some sort of collector weekend toy sort of deal. It's a regular everyday driver 4 door sedan (Audi A4 to be exact).
How does a 6+ year old car possibly have so few miles?
Third car, older folks with no commute, it happens. I bought a 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis in 2017 with less than 10,000 on it for $7500. Thing wasn't my cup of tea but it was like brand new and ran like a top. I sold the thing to CarMax in 2022 for $8300 and all I ever did to it was replaced the tires and put almost 90,000 miles on it. This one was a friend of the family who bought it new when they retired then the Husband passed away unespectedly and it was never driven...none of the kids wanted it and the son finally got tired of having to crank it and drive a few miles and sold it.
I have a 2014 GMC 3500 I bought new and it only has 42,000 on it. Not a lot more than what is the yearly average for the one in question. It happens. Gotta be careful though, there can be a lot wrong with a older low mileage auto...sensors and electronics go to rack and ruin if not used regularly.

That's one of my concerns here. Along with the aforementioned Audi in a shop quip.

My wife bought a 2010 Camry in 2017 that had 30000 miles on it. I believe it currently still has less than 45000.

Traded in my 2010 4Runner in 2020 and it had 33,541 miles, so less than 5,000 miles a year.
I work about 1.5 miles away from my house. Grocery store is about a mile away. Restaurants and bars are about a mile or two away.
Road trips we take the wife's Acura RDX as it's a nicer ride.

In 2018 I bought a 2001 Honda civic that had 42,000 on it. Bought off an elderly cousin for 3500 bucks. She literally only drove to the grocery store and to the doctor every so often.

I have a 2017 A4 and cannot speak enough on how much I hate it. I would avoid Audis at all cost moving forward. Have had many mechanical and electronic problems that have cost upwards to about half of what I paid for the damn thing.

In 2017 I bought a 2010 truck that had 13,000 miles. Must have belonged to an old man,it was in great shape and I never had a problem with it.

I also have a 2017 Audi A4 and I absolutely love it. Got it in 2019 and has around 64k on it now. Had one small issue w gas gauge that was under warranty and easily handled.
I downgraded from a BMW M5 and once I adjusted I will say I really love this car.
Just thought it important to say not all Audis are bad. But, you buy a german car bc you enjoy driving. If you dont care then buy an appliance type car like a toyota/honda/lexus. And they are great cars too. Not even comparable driving experiences though.

My wife's 2007 Honda CRV has 28K miles. She drives about 35 miles a week. It's 6 miles to and from work 4 days a week and about 10 miles a week running around. 
We go in my truck everywhere else.

My wife’s?
Seriously, she wants to buy a massive Suburban so she can fit all the grandkids who live in town. I suggested she buy two cars so she doesn’t have to drive that pig around when it’s just her. She said, “I’ve only averaged 2500 miles per year over the six years I’ve had my car. If I was driving two cars it would be 1250 each.”

Stop posting Gaucho. It won’t get any better.
