A dumb question from a noob
Alright, I've been proving myself to be a complete idiot with audis on the forums today but I honestly have one question.
I know absolutely nothing about URQ's besides the fact that I've wanted one for a great deal of time. How much realistically am I looking to pay for one. I haven't been able to find much information on that. Edmunds gave me a few figures but I know they can't be right.
Anywho, I'm also looking at a 1991 quattro coupe. Reliability wise, am I better off with the 91 coupe? I'm looking for a fun awd coupe that won't be a garage queen. I have a friend who is an audi mechanic but I'm not very mechanically inclined.
Thanks for helping me out and not flaming me (too) much.

No flames here
I paid 5 grand for my on-going daily driver/project.
I don't know of anybody else that has bouht a urq as good as mine for the price.
Others pay on the average of 7 to 8 grand for a real nice car, with no rust, and has been taken care of.
The cars on the West Coast are in better shape usually, and are cheaper too compared to the East coast.
For a mint piece you are looking at the low to mid teens.
The quattro coupes are cheaper, and usually easier to find, but are a totally different car to drive. (soul-less in comparison)
Not dissing the car by any means, I would love to own one someday.
But it was the S2, and not the quattro coupe that was designed to replace the urq.

Either one is
an Audi though. And this comes from someone who owns a few.
Fun as all get out ot drive, especially in the nasty stuff. But with either the URQ or even the CQ you'll be doing a fair amount of maintenance, and parts are expensive.
That said, I still love 'em!
There's a UR near me for sale. I know the owner. It does need work. He bought it and was told that it had a blown head gasket. He hasn't touched it, and just bought a much nicer one from CA. It's also for sale. (He just bought a house, and needs the money).
The '83 is $4300 I think, maybe $4k, and the '85 is around $10k.

Re: No flames here
Where are you located...more so where geographically?
East, west ect.
If it's not going to be your daily drive, I'd seriously go with the urq.
Wait for a nice one ,and do a bunch of research, or ask someone on here to look at the car with you.
We are always eager to check out another urq in the flesh.
I drive mine daily, and have no problems that you wouldn't have with any other 20 year old German car.

You get snow in Buffalo!
A few years ago, we got over 7ft in two days.

And these pics are after it melted quite a bit.
Then of course there was '77.
