How can anyone buy a used Audi anymore?

I have three friends that have owned allroads.  All have had suspension issues with the air system, from one or two corners to a complete system.  All have been very expensive to repair.  I asked them all how often they use the height adjustment, and none regularly do (or did).  Really, who is going to off road a car like that to the point it needs to be lifted anyway?  One guy nixed the whole system and used some sort of coil over system that was less expensive than redoing the stock system, and improved the ride and handling.  He's the only one of the three that still owns the Audi.


BTW, 2 of those cars had torque converter issues that required $3000 repairs.  Which begs the question...How can anyone buy a used Audi anymore?

 
BTW,  my '91 200q still runs strong with 250,000 miles.  Original clutch.  No drive train repairs ever.  Other than the electrical gremlins...
