Contemplating a 2nd Audi for Me

I'm finding myself in a bit of a bind, so please advise. A year ago, I bought 
my first Audi, a 1995 90. I loved driving the car, and it was working out 
perfectly as my wife and I worked at the same company. Feeling the need for a 
second car, something I could use in any weather, and to haul stuff in, I 
bought a 1989 Range Rover. I would only use it sparingly as a second car, I 
had thought. 

Well, due to powers beyond my control, I was laid off (yes, it was at an 
Internet company). And so I took on another job, with the Range Rover as my 
daily driver now, not the Audi. I had never intended the Range Rover for this 
duty. My commute is not twice the distance it once was, and I estimate I now 
spend at least $8 in gas alone to get to work and back. When I got my gas 
bill in the mail I nearly passed out. I knew then I needed  a car with better 
gas mileage, but I still wanted room to haul stuff, and all wheel drive.

Luckily, just down the road from where I work is a 1992 Audi 100CS Quattro 
wagon for sale at a reputable European car specialist. She is dark green 
metallic with dark tan hides, with the works. Mileage is 79k miles. I had a 
quick look at her today, and she seemed to be in very good shape. My question 
to you guys, is what should I be looking at?

We have had such great luck with our 90 I have no reservations about buying a 
100. And yes, the car does have a warranty. I might miss my Range Rover, but 
being in an Audi Quattro is just as reassuring, not to mention I get ABS and 
an airbag to boot. I appreciate ant advice you have to offer to this 
certified Audi nut.
