New to Audis...Again

[Robert Turlington]

Well, I knew going in that these cars were maintenance hogs, but I've owned many of them in the past.  I like the way these drive better than the 92 redesign.  

My mechanic has also advised me against these, but I couldn't resist.  My first car was a 89 100 and I have quite a soft spot for the 44.

Thanx everyone for all the help as usual, the list has proved to be quite  valuable resource.

Btw, I do have the bentley for this car, but haven't digged it out of storage for the las few years.  Ill be retrieving it this weekend.

=)

Robert

oh DUDE! the 2 worst audi's you can own. sorry to rain on your parade but
the pain and anguish a typ44 chassis will cause you is MAYBE justified if
its quattro, 5spd and turbo. and you're a mechanic. and independently
wealthy. to suffer that with an auto fwd is nuts. go buy ANYTHING ELSE EVER
MADE and call it a day.

sorry to be 'that guy' but any mechanic will tell you.. and roll their eyes
and slap their foreheads in a telling "WTF?!?!?!?" manner at you.

granted they are lovely cars when theyre running right. great road cars,
there really isnt much that compares. however its the 'running right' that
is the catch. they were ahead of their time and full of kinks.

if you have to have one, sell them and for a couple more $$ get a 91 200 20v
qt. that car at elast justifies the ownersip trials. all, IMO / IME of
course.

good luck
jim
