Default I MAY BUY a used AUDI and I have a few ?'s. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello. I am in the process of buying a used car and am looking at a few Audis. My main concern is that an older Audi (1988-1992) with a fair amount of miles (125000-200000) would break down frequently and/or would have many problems. I have heard that this happens to many Audis and I know for a fact that my Uncle's 1983 Audi had these problems. I am looking at a 1989 Audi 200 Turbo specifically. It is manual transmission and has 160000 miles on it. If bought, will this car have many problems, or are the horror stories I hear from pre-1985 Audi's??? PLEASE respond truthfully if you know anything about this subject. THANKS!!!

Default Better than mid eighties, not as good as mid nineties.

Depends how well it was maintained. Don't get it if you can't fix it yourself/not willing to. Little things add up to a lot of money quickly. They can be nice reliable daily drivers if maintained properly.
