Re: Which Quattro to buy?

Andrew Buc decided to speak these words:

Well, my 4kq has been the model of reliability...nothing has really ever 
just broken...its been INCREDIBLY reliable over the past 30k+ miles that 
i have owned it.

Looking over the records of the UrQ, i added up the cost of all of the 
maintainance and repairs that this car has had over the past 10 years. It 
added up to about 1000-1200 per year from what i can remember.  That is 
affordable for me, and i dont quite know where everyone comes up with 5k+ 
per year...maybe certain years where you have to replace the rear 
suspension or something, ut it is definitely not an every year thing as 
far as i can tell...



later...
