I bought an '89 Audi in March from the son of a friend. Three months of hell, over $1,700 (and, maybe, a dozen short trips in the car) and it was sold for scrap ($177). *Sigh...* 
Reminds me of the '93 Nissan Terrano I bought for the missus..immaculate car, only done 5K miles a year, full service history from new..worst car I ever bought, everything, but everything went wrong on that ****heap. Bought it for £1,300, sold less than a year later for £250 scrap value.
