I just picked it up on ebay for $790 bucks! What should I expect to go wrong on this thing besides the general maintenence( timing belt,w/p, belts, hoses, etc...) Thanks. BTW it needs a serious paint job!

Imported to US 1990 & 1991, produced from 9/87 to 01/96
Much like the original quattro, the Coupé Quattro had a dismal sales record in the U.S. despite all of its high-tech features. In the late '80s and early '90s, Audi's reputation was at an all time low, and there weren't many people who were willing to shell out $30K for a luxury touring coupe. In fact, Audi says that only 1,730 Coupe Quattros were sold in North America. By contrast, Audi produced a total of 73,858 B3 model Coupes from 9/87 to 1/96, including many FWD models and 7,370 S2 models. Unfortunately, lack of North American interest in the CQ ensured that Audi would not bother to certify and import the S2 -- the real successor to the ur-quattro. Luckily, time has been kind to most of the CQs that did find a home in the U.S. The design is still more modern than many of today's offerings, and thanks to galvanized body panels and traditional robust German engineering, these cars still have plenty of life in them.<ul><li><a href="http://20v.org/history.htm">History of Coupe</a></li></ul>
