Right, and you're comparing a 1987 model to a 1990 model.  Your car 
is substantially older.

Ever since the 1992 model year, Audi's reliability ratings have gone 
through the roof.  A 1992/93 90 series car would be perfect for your 
friend; lots of them out there for sale, so there's a big selection, 
and they're very reliable; the 92's and 93's should be old enough 
that they won't be rediculously expensive; if he's got more money, he 
can look for a newer model.  A same-vintage Coupe if he wants one, 
but these are fairly rare(and expensive, I would imagine.)
