a4 vs 90E

[helmszee]

thanks for the thoughts, i was thinking along the same line with the money but was thinking that if repairs are going to be an issue due to age then maybe it was worth digging into the pockets a little deeper and going for something a little newer but really do like the look at the 90E... as for looking for stains and engine wear i can hardly tell the difference between the exhaust and the window wiper ok well maybe I’m not quite that bad but u get the picture

Old Audis have the capability to financially cripple you. Get it checked by someone who knows em.

Audi 90 was a Great thing when they were newer and unless it has been very well maintained it will be a cash cow. From the top of my head without looking at it , it will be looking at full set of wishbone bushes, driveshafts, balljoints, subframe mounts, oil leaks, cam belt,water pump and if you are really lucky the hydrogen Sphere for the brakes which causes brake pulse and reqs replacement after 7 years. A4 parts are more readily available and lots of parts from passats fit too. Still take the advice and have ot checked over by someone who knows them. Ive just looked at a 02 model for someone that had a RACV inspection and they told him the shudder from his vehicle was engine mounts, turns out it needs a CVT Transmission!!!
Good luck
