Well, since this was directed to me, i feel obligated to reply.

If you have the budget, figure an average over a year of about 100-150 a 
month in repairs....sometimes nothing in a month, sometimes 500...it 
happens like that, then you can get whatever you want.

I personally can afford that, so i drive an urquattro.  They came to the 
US from 83-85....  I got mine for 1700, but it is a rare 
thing...hehe....anyway, most of the time you can get them for about 6000 
for a decent one that will need repairs, to about 10,000 or so for a 
pristine one with the stock engine.  From what i can tell, cars like 
mine, with the updated MC engine installed go for at least a few thousand 
more....am i right everyone?

If you really want the coupe, i have a friend who is selling his 83 UrQ, 
beautiful, i think for about 8000 or so....

Either that, or a 5000 turbo quattro is always a nice car, just too big 
for my taste....

later...
