Inputs solicited -- 1990 - 90 - 20V Quattro

[Bob]

It must depend on how well its been driven...? My wifes 91 20v went 
almost 300K before selling it. Sold it with no problems, and never saw a 
new clutch or bearing. Had routing maintenance also, TB every 60K etc. 
That was 2 years ago and the car is still running great today.
