Audi 200 Prepurchase
I am looking to purchase a 91 200 20v Quattro. What sort of things should I look for? What are the problem areas?
After purchase, what maitenence should I immediately do? Do I need to replace the timing chain? Timing chain pads/tensioners?
I come from the water-cooled Porsche world, where after any purchase (if no documentation) the new owner should replace the timing belt, tensioners, water pump, et al.

Re: Audi 200 Prepurchase
Common failure points other than the timing belt, which I presume you're planning to replace (standard procedure on I-5 motors is belt, water pump, idler pulley, seals on the crankshaft and camshaft and the belts for the alternator, power steering pump and A/C compressor), are the crankcase ventilation hosing, the plastic heater valve and the hoses for the power steering/power brake system.
