Ok, my Dad bought a 1991 Audi 100 new in 1991 and it was a great car...it did have quite a few repairs, but still a good car. In fact, my sister had a Audi 100 and one night we were in a serious car accident. All I can say is that we should have died from the accident, but we walked away w/ minor injuries. From the safety standpoint...go for it. Oh...one thing I remember...my Dad's 100 had like 3 water pumps in 60k miles...one in the first month of ownership.
