Default Repair costs for S4?

I'm thinking about upgrading from my 1992 Audi 100 S to a used 2000-2001 S4 (seen them for around $20k). Would the cost of parts be about the same for this car compared to my 100? Any tougher to work on or tougher to find parts for?

You should go ask the B5 forum, they would know.

Default I am kinda paranoid of the turbos.

Also these are two different cars. You have large slow sedan vs. smaller sport sedan. You just do not punish slow sedan as much. So I guess S4 will break more. But it is just me.

Default From what I've read (a lot).....

It is very hard to keep a newer S4 running right. They seem to have tons of small problems involving the hoses and misc. turbo parts. I would expect to be putting a lot into it to keep it running right, I mean if your getting this car, you want it running right. Plus its an Audi, so of course parts and labor are ridiculously expensive. Just my 2 cents.
