Contemplating a 2nd Audi for Me

[Mullen, Shaun]

Tom:

I put 217k on my '92 100CSQW and had no major problems.  Neither have I
heard of major problems from other owners on this list or elsewhere.  You
need to make sure the car is what it seems to be.  The easiest way is to go
back to the dealer, copy the VIN number and then submit it to CarFax at this
link:

Unless you go off road, I doubt that you'll miss your Range Rover.
