Default Buying a 1991 20V 90Q, what should I look for?

I found a very well kept example of a 1991 90q 20v for sale that I'm interested in.

What are the problem areas with this model that I should be aware of, and have checked out by my mechanic?

I have experience with 5000/100/200 10v quattros, but not the 90 20v.

Thanks for the help.

P.s. It's black and tan with 130k miles.

The usual ISV cleaning. Be sure to read the section on upgrading the front brakes. I don't think rotors are available anymore for the OEM setup. The upgrade is easy and inexpensive.

If you are anywhere near western PA, my 1990 20v sedan is for sale. Cosmetically beat up, but runs great with ONLY 275k miles. Prices to sell. Comes with a 1988 90Q parts car.
