Friend of a neighbor is offering to sell his `93 90 Sport w/ 146K. Hes owned it for 10 yrs.
He wants $1000. "Whats the catch?!"
Auto tranny 2nd is slipping
Sport mode doesn't work
Oil leak from head gasket (his mechanic says)
Climate control low setting doesnt work
Needs new tires
Spent 2 hours looking it over and searching for reason not to buy it. He kept all records. He waxed it twice a year. Garage kept. No rust! Borbet wheels! These are good signs!
So after surfing archived threads here I learned about those trouble areas. The major being slipping Trans. I'd definately consider miktip's auto-2-manual suggestion.

This really looks like a no brainer. This would be my first Audi. I'm aware of the high cost of parts for these. The body alone is worth the investment I'd say
