Anybody have any knowledge they can share about the Audi Coupe GT/Quattro? Things to look for when buying them, any common problems, value, etc?

I know that they are Audis. That alone is enough to kill all interest for me.

The Quattro was a very cool car. The GT Coupe cool, but slow, so less cool. I need a second car, and I rather not get a maintenance nightmare (BMW) and am debating not getting something that is almost a duplicate of what I already have.

Audis cause way more maintenance nightmares than BMWs. Atleast BMWs are easy to work on. Audis are a pain in thedick.

Hmmm, see, I know that to be the case of the 90s+ Audis. Also true for the 80s? Darn, oh well, MB it is.

The 80s were even worse than the 90s.

Those were really awful cars to keep on the road.

I guess now I know why my dad only bought MBs from the time he sold his Bavaria until the time he bought an e39.
