I would like thank everyone for their input, I will certainly get a mechanic
to check the vehicle, if anyone can recommend a reputable shop in western PA
I would be grateful, my mechanic is by no means an import specialist. I am
now curious if I am researching a money pit, this will not be my primary
vehicle, but I would like a bit of reliability without outrageous
maintenance costs. I also really happen to like this particular vintage of
Audi. Should I just get a Toyota and never have any fun behind the wheel? I
am sure a lot depends on the particular vehicle, I just hope this era is not
particularly bad. I really appreciate the feedback.
