What I or anyone else would decide is irrelevant.  What you need to decide
is whether quattro is important to you or not.  Both are fine cars but
it seems the tradeoff is 3 years vs. quattro.  Your call.

OK, I'd take the 80q, but would try to talk the price down some.  I've always liked the 80 as it is relatively light and
nimble- tho underpowered- like the 4k's.  And I wouldn't own an Audi (or any other car) without quattro.
But that shouldn't be relevant to your decision.
