Re: Hello and some questions..

 and it should be easily possible to find one that is in pretty good shape >>


I added up the repairs to my 4000CS Quattro one time, and they topped 5,000$. 
 No joke.  I paid 2,500 for the car.  My coupe, which I haven't added up, I 
estimate somewhere over 2,500$, which I paid 1,200$ for.  Some people may 
vary, but most stories I have heard about 4000CSQ's and GT's is that you, at 
one point or another, drop a bunch of money on them.  Now, neither one needs 
much.  But my last GT, I paid 1,500$ for and put more than 4,000$ into it, as 
well.  

Compared to my VW, which I total spent less than 3,000$ over 2 years, the 
audis are very expensive to maintain.  I, too, am a college bum and don't 
have enough to fix everything that's broken, but I try.  Point is, everyone's 
experiences vary.  I've taken it up the you know what a bunch of times, and 
sometimes I've walked out ahead.  But, overall, if I had to do it over again, 
I probably would.  I love the cars, and that's why I have them.

Later!
