Any opinions? I am not dead set on it, just alot of car for the $$$$$$$$!!! I understand the timing belt should be taken care of promptly, if it hasn't been done already, other than that it seems to get decent reviews.

I thought it was a lot of car for the money even when they were new (as in, why buy an Audi?) I have heard that some repairs can be expensive, yada yada. I guess it all depends on what kind of money are you talking about? Function before fashion.
