There's something about being a newbie that's unnerving.  So please bear
with me...

There appears to be a '91 100, 2wd, on my horizon.  Low mileage, very good
shape physically, and red.  And while I know about VW's, having owned ten
in past, Audi's are a different beast altogether.  I'm not affraid to turn
a wrench or get dirty so the repairs and maintance looming in the future
are not an issue, really.

What I'd really like to know is what to look for when looking at a
11-year-old Audi.  Are there particular trouble spots that need constant
attention and should be glaring if the PO is unattentive?  How tough is it
to get parts?  Is the I-5 engine really as tough as I've heard?

Any and all insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Alan Bosch
