Buying an Audi 80

[ywouldi]

Im looking at buying a 1990 1.8 Audi 80S.

What should I look out for except the obvious used car checks? Are there any well know issues with these cars. The example I will be looking at is fairly high mileage, 100,000+ so obviously a good service history will be needed.

My dad went mad when I told him I was considering an Audi, he reckons the costs for parts will be extorionate, but looking at a few sites they seem similar to my VW's i have had, is this true?

Maybe it would for most folk, but as a 20 yr old student I dont have the money for a sporty one, or for the insurance, just want a cheap reliable motor. I have been through two in the last year!
