[V8] 1990 V8 5spd

[too many quattros]

actually, the same thing happened to me.  had the extended warranty and so
on.  T-belt broke at 84K just before the warranty expired.  Audi covered
half of the 4400$ bill.  car was fixed at negherbon in oakland, ca.  since
then, no one has touched my car but me.

We had purchased the extended warranty on the V8, but they refused to take
responsibility for the TB break because it was a "maintenance" problem.
After much rangling, they finally agreed to pick up half the cost, but get
this--they (the stealer) charged $10k for the head rebuilds.  Ridiculous.
 
Would be interesting to know how long people have had them.  The thing is,
until the last couple years, there just weren't any cars like our V8 to be
had so I refused to get rid of it.   Some of Audi's new offerings are pretty
nice, including the S5, but ouch on the price.  I'll wait until the re-sale
price gets hammered.  ;)
 
Cheers.
