> other than that, normal wear and tear stuff for a 10 year old car. maintence is key though. stay up on it. parts are not considerabbly more when compared to jap stuff, however you are paying for a “beefier” or often times over engineered part. part ptices also are little more due to the fact you dont have a million companies making them. for a audi, you may have 3 companies making a replacement water pump, whereas a honda may have 10.

the parts for my 90q were considerably more than what they would be for my integra. you’ve been in the vw/audi world for a long time (i believe), so you probably have a lot better sources for your parts.

i agree with your statement about how the car looks even with age. my 90q looked great for it’s age. there was absolutely no rust on the 13yr old car. the only problem with mine was the clearcoat was covered in spider cracks.
