	I bought a '90 V8 Quattro and LOVE it.  I had an '85 4000 Quattro before.  The
book price was $20-26,000, but I got it for $19,900.  It had 49K miles and was/is very
clean.  I have seen older ones for as little as $14,000.  I have heard of manuals, but
all the ones I have seen have had an automatic.  It has the computer, heated seats  
(front and rear), headlight washers, all that stuff you really need. :)  My only 
complaint is the gas milage.  I don't know what it is when driven lightly, but I am 
getting 14 mpg around town and 20 on the highway, although I haven't taken a long trip 
yet.  On the highway I try to keep it under 80, which isn't easy.  I find I always 
get where I was going early now, whereas I used to be late.  What used to be a 45 min.  
trip is now a 35 min. trip.  I really am going to have to get a radar detector.

	I don't know what kind of problem's they have, but I will say I am not looking
forward to replacing the front rotors!
