First of all you are looking at a twelve year old car. Expect to have parts go bad and need to be replaced. All the rubber part are on their way out. Next it depends on how well the car has been maintained. What parts have recently been replaced? Rotors Brake pads Starter Drive shaft bearing Ball joints Tie rod ends e-brake cables headlight switch battery OX sensor Plug wires Cap & rotor Do all the door handles work? Do all the windows go up and down, from all switches? Have the struts been replaced? Has the timing belt been done? 90k miles is pretty low miles. So the car I would hope is in pretty good shape. The can may need some of the listed part simply due to age. Many can be fixed quick-n-dirty, cheap. Others will simply co$t. It really depends on how much you can / are willing to do yourself. If the car has been cared for it should be a reliable daily driver. I've had my 4k for two years now put 54k on it. I love it! She has never let me down. I'm in the process of rebuilding/re-buying the car. But then again aren't we all? Best Regards, John 86 4kcsq 199k AKA Wanda new; battery, struts, door handles, windshield, rotors, pads, exhaust, TB, window regulator, headlight switch, OXS, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, tires rebuilt; starter, door handles, sunroof, window switches, cruise control, more in progress.............. -----Original Message----- From: "Mike Wallace" Sent: Monday, November 23, 1998 2:48 PM To: INTERNET:quattro@coimbra.ans.net Subject: '86 Audi ???s I'm looking at buying a '86 quattro 4000 with 90,000 miles. I've owned VWs but never and Audi. I'm not very familiar with them and am interested in any info anyone may have about realiability, service needs at 90,000 miles, costly parts, things to watch for, etc. Your input is much appreciated. Thanks
