You might consider the "cheap" China imports. The archives
don't seem to be working, so here is a posting I saved:

I purchased a set of Import Vision Euros for wifey's CQ.  The price
was about 1/3 what I expected.  The lights are Depo, and are made in
China. Upon opening the box, I was dissappointed with what appeared
to be flimsy cheezey quality, but I installed them anyway as I had
them.  The install was simple (other than the Audi factor).  Pretty
much plug and play, as I used standard wattages w/no relays.  The
dissapointment over the quality was over the moment I switched them
on after dark.  Every bit as enlightening as the Bosch E-codes
installed on a 200q once owned. ...

Roger, I fear that you'll never find the low mileage and priced
right example you want.  Just buy the best car you can find in
the color combination you want, and repeat what you've already
been through. :)
