I have been so tempted to buy another Audi, but keep reminding myself about all those problems I had.

I remember you had a few on your signature list. I had always heard that after '84 they really went downhill, but picked up a '86 5000. Bad mistake. Had it about 3 months and dumped a couple thou into it before dumping it for another POS, my wifes Chrysler Cirrus.
I've got a couple Coupe Gt's now, and have no idea how many miles they have. Odometers died years ago. The '82 I've had for about 7 years now, and have run the snot out of it. It's seen redline on the tach alot. It still burns no oil and has great oil pressure. Trannie is still very solid.
Had a '83 5000, and last I heard the kid I sold it to 3 or 4 years ago with over 200k on it is still driving it.
If you get another, look for a well cared for 5cyl model from before '84, and should be a fairly dependable car(except for electricals of course
)
