looking at an '86 5KTQ - advice?



I'm looking for a reasonably-priced awd sedan and saw this car
advertised for $4900.  180K miles, second owner (put 15K on it), claims
it's immaculate, literally everything works, always garaged, 1st owner
babied it, etc., etc.  The mileage seems awfully high but I see there
seem to be a lot of Audis for sale with comparable miles.  If I get
serious I'll definitely have the car inspected by a mechanic on the
website's list, but I'd like advice on what to look out for with this
particular model.  Also, what sort of "ownership experience" might I
expect, regarding maintenance?  I've done all my own maintenance for
years, to the extent of rebuilding engines, transmissions, etc., so I
can handle much of it myself.  Thanks for any and all replies.
