That was for each year he has owned it. lol You replaced things that the previous owner neglected, that you most likely won't have to deal with ever again. They are replacing things that constantly go bad. I say steer away from any newer volkswagen/audi. They are trouble.
I don't know why you NEED awd. Snow tires on a bmw works insanely well. You're looking for a daily. The e30 can be your fun car. Instead of spending too much money on a car you don't need, why not just buy a reliable beater? There are plenty of camrys and corollas out there to be had that will cost you no more than $2500. The money you save can be used to further invest in the e30.
If you want to waste money fixing a car all the time, preventing you to afford parts for the e30, then I guess the audi would be a good idea
Ladies like newer cars. I like ladies. Not going to drive a shit box around
but yea. Probably wont get that a4 now..

Also, that vert has a LSD
perfect for winter..BMW's aren't maintenance free. But I did not HAVE to replace anything besides oil changes. The rest I did voluntarily=) Also, ladies like any car that is shiny or looks nice. They don't know a Daewoo from a Buggati usually. And LSD is a common e36 winter package bonus=P It'd work well with snows.

Mine had the LSD and handles great in the winter on all seasons, so you should have no problems with a set of blizzaks on there. My e36 was great on maintenance, just highmileage stuff went out like the fuel pump, starter and power steering pump this last week. Thats its for 2 years of ownership and I bought a shit box too
So that says something. Otherwise like Earl said get a camry or civic. -
See that's the thing. The two guys that got me into tuning both have had audi's forever. They both currently have a4's. one with 160k(b5) on it, and one with 100k(b6) on it. They both love them to death and they haven't given them troubles except coils. They just keep a couple extra on hand. They are like 30$ a pop or something.

God dammit people I need a better excuse to leave my vw for a BMW. The only thing I have so far is ease of maintenance in comparison to my vw fwd car, and reliability. Cost of parts are probably the same, and my mom says rwd cars are dangerous for me(I got a ticket drifting in a Acura mdx...) so That's why awd is easy to sell for her! Too bad bmw's awd system is expensive.

Volkswagen/Audis are a pain to work on in comparison to BMW's. They also seem to be more expensive for some reason. By far more expensive than e36's. RWD cars are dangerous if you're a redline running, drift king of the cul-de-sac. I don't believe you are so you shopuld be fine.

I spend Wayyy to much time sideways during the winter. Precisely why my mother thinks its a bad idea. I consider myself a pretty decent driver, and ive known how to handle rwd cars for ages. Every car needs maintenance, but not all cars are easy to do that maintenance. That's why I think the BMW comes out on top. Rwd cars are just easy to work on.

My advice: walk away from any Audi that has over 15 miles on it. Not 15k, 15.0 miles. Anything after that and they're junk. Fo. Realz.
You drive a Subaru, why should I trust you
but really, there isn't much head aches if you Know what you are looking for when you buy it.sk8 or die

M42's are great until the timing profile gasket goes.
Then coolant is everywhere and your head is toast!
Jb weld and a new gasket is the known solution.

Im surprised this is still for sale.

As am I, looks pretty decent and is fairly hard to find a two door five speed ix.
Good price too!
