Make sure that you get the vin number and have an audi dealer check the
service record. Many 90 v8's had the entire dash unit - including the odo
replaced due to flaws in the earlier models. That 51,000k may not be accurate.
Since Audi did that service they should have accurate records.
Take the time to check the archives on the list - lots written about this car.
My experience is that its a great hi speed quiet hiway cruiser that loves the
twisties - and now after the first snow in the phila area it's GREAT in the
snow. It LIKES hi test - alot I avg 17-18  mpg mostly hiway. Parts from the
Audi dealer are very expensive - but the service has been very good. All parts
are shipped from a central Audi warehouse overnight.

Good Luck!
