I am considering purchasing a used 1.8T or a 90-91 90 Quattro. The A4 only makes financial sense if it is near bullet proof.

What's the experience here?

1.8T is a Outstanding engine, only thing to look for is timing belt change and well serviced...

The 1.8T has outstanding power for it's size and runs smoothly for a 4 banger once it's warm. My A4's body and chassis (50k miles) is still as solid as a new car. I was worried about the A4's reliability before I bought mine after researching it in consumer reports. The problems in my A4 have been numerous but very minor. Mostly just electrical problems and sensors and pumps failing. If I didn't have the Audi Assured warranty all of these minor problems would have cost me well over a thousand dollars (I've only had the car for a year). Try to find an Audi Assured A4; they're the pick of the used-Audi litter and you'll have two years to test the reliability for yourself.
