Hi everyone - 1st car - 1st Audi - to buy or not to buy
Hey everyone, I'd like to start of saying nice site. It's big, active, and lots of info. I've been reading alot and have enjoyed every thread so far. I just graduated from college not too long ago and so like most other kids my age - I'm strapped for cash even with a job. Hard to get started I guess. Here's my question:
I came across a fairly well kept 1995 Audi Cabriolet. I'm actually going to go and check it out tomorrow. I've never ownded a car before let alone purchase one. I asked for pictures of the exterior and interor and looks pretty well maintained, not abused. Paint is clean, no major dings dents or scratches. The interior seems to be well kept as well.
He says mechanically and electronically - everything works. As far as maintenance, he says the oil has been changed regularly, however, I don't think he's done the factory tune-ups. The car has 130,000 miles. He's asking $6,000 firm. If I do buy the car, I'd like to have it fully checked and serviced. I'm willing to maintain the car myself - I just don't want to be stuck with alot of costly repairs.
So more questions - how long do these cars run if well kept and maintained and serviced regularly?
How much do comprehensive tune-ups for the engine and transmission cost?
When I go to check it out tomorrow, what are some things that I should check? hoses? cables? wires? etc?
So... in the end, should I or shouldn't I buy this car? Any comments would be more than greatly appreciated. Thanks guys / gals if there are any.

RE: Hi everyone - 1st car - 1st Audi - to buy or not to buy
well, In my opinion, cabriolets are for chicks, no ofence chicks.
6 grand is lots, I paied 3 grand for my 1995 regular audi 90.
cabriolets get malested lots.
you can drop him a call and say:
1 grand for tune up
1 grand for heater core if not changed
I'm not found of cabriolets they dont give me enough protection, like sun
at the end its your call.
