Coupe Quattro advice

[Mark A Schmidt <schmidtm@ecn.purdue.edu>]

Hello to all.  I am a new member on this mailing list, having found it through 
the rec.auto.vw group on internet.  Since subscribing, I must say that I enjoy 
reading the postings as I have searched for a specific Audi group for awhile.

Was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or specifics about the effect of the 
1995 Audi price restructuring on used (i.e.) 1993-1994 models.  I would assume 
that it will deflate the current market value of the 93-94 models.  Any 
opinions?

I am a graduate student at Purdue and currently am the extremely proud owner of
a pearl white 1991 Quattro Coupe.  It has 44,000 miles on it and the warranty 
expires the end of January.  Having been raised around only German automobiles,
I know the cash-saving importance of having factory warranties.  Out-of 
warranty expenses compound the tough job of supporting enthusiasm for Audis by 
owning one while in graduate school.  So, I am seeking advice on the following 
subject... 

I have figured that financially (strictly in terms of depreciation) I think that
I am better off to sell my present Audi in the next couple of months in favor 
of a 1993 90CS Quattro with considerable time left on the warranty.  While I 
love my present Quattro and the tradition history behind the Coupe, selling is
the direction in which I am leaning.   

Would appreciate any advice on personal experiences with repairs and expenses 
on the 1991 Coupe Quattro in the 50,000+ miles category.  Also would 
appreciate any thoughts or opinions on my theory of selling my Coupe Quattro 
in favor of a '93 90CS Quattro.  Good or bad idea?

Thanks for your thoughts.
