Are there any negatives in buying a repossessed car?

Check the status of the car on the Vicroads website. Providing there is nothing untoward about it, no money owing on it etc., there shouldn’t be any problem. If the registration has been cancelled it will require a current roadworthy certificate to reregister it.

What is an EPC error on an Audi S5?

I wouldn’t accept the advice without getting another opinion, one that is definitive, not a guess. You could take it to a mechanic who specializes in Audis and VWs and they should be able to give you an opinion you can believe.

Audi RS3 vs BMW M3

Obviously they’re both high performance cars that are designed to eat up the open road, but equally they have to be able to handle the pressures of day-to-day motoring.

High oil consumption in A4

At 1 litre per 1000 km your engine was already consuming too much oil, at double that rate of consumption it is way too much. VW/Audi engines have a reputation for using oil and need to be checked regularly to ensure you don't inadvertently cause damage by letting it run low. You could try appealing to their sense of goodwill and ask Audi to cover part of the cost of repairs, but as your car is seven years old I don't believe you have much chance of success.
