'88 5KCSTQ, Worth the hassle?

[Larry C Leung]

TRUST me! For the unintitiated, the type 44 can be quite an intimidating
and expensive proposition if it's not right. The 4KQ (such as you own) is
no where NEAR as complicated a car, and doesn't have the same issues
(BTDT, both ways). The 100 Spencer speaks of sounds like a rather iffy
proposition. He certainly should approach THAT particular car with
caution, if not totally run away. This is not to suggest he should give
up on looking for an Audi, there certainly are many good and interesting
examples out there, and there is no reason he should settle for a
Toyaurusabu either, unless he is in an absolute hurry (i.e. NEED) to get
a car right now. If he has the time, he should search for a more suitable
example of an Audi. Cajoling him into taking this particular car is not
helpful if it turns out to be problematic, and may even sour him on any
future Audi's.

Remember, they are just (very nice and fun) cars, not a symbol of manhood
(or womanhood for that matter) or anything.

Buy the right car when the time is right...
