About to buy
Hi all, I just registered because I'm about to buy an A4 
...or so I thought. I was looking at a '96 2.8 quattro with 78k or a '98 1.8T with 93k also a quattro. After reading about all kinds of problems people have and reading the reviews on MSN auto I'm kinda doing a double take on buying an A4. I'm only 22, fresh out of college and don't want to buy a money pit. Are they bad as some people make them out to be, or are they just the problem children of the bunch. I know it has to do a lot with the previous owner and how he/she took care of it. Just wanted to know if I should be looking at more of a japanese car instead of the A4.
