RE: 1990 Audi Questions

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

Fact (?!?!?!) One: Your CQ is just getting broken in, minus the little
things you are going to fix.

Fact Two, you get a new car, you own the steep part of the depreciation
curve, insurance is expensive, etc.

Fact Three: New car comes with warranty.

I would say two to one in favor of keeping the CQ.
