 2.8 A4 Quatro is a blast to drive. Plenty of power, and great handling.  I purchased for $3500, upgraded tires to 17", added modern Audi alloy wheels and upgraded pads and rotors to higher quality and faster cooling- all for just under $1200. The only issues I've had is replaced universal joint, and leak from power steering pump - power steering fluid for this car is eighteen bucks a quart.  The oil light comes on all the time however, this is due to the interior sensor clogging and not reading oil flow correctly, annoying but not a problem the radio can't alleviate - hey, it happens, after all the car is twenty years old.  The paint is still immaculate and deep black, people simply cant believe this car is 20 years old! The cabin is a little noisy; I intend to replace the carpeting and in the process upgrade the floor insulation to mitigate road noise - the creeks and squeaks I'll tame one at a time. GREAT CAR!
