I've had a 1980 4000 since 9/79. It is the least reliable, most expensive
to maintain, most troublesome car I've ever had. Dealer service and support
are just plain unacceptable and the distributorship/manufacturer have been
somewhere between unhelpful and obstructive in trying to get dealers to
correct warranty problems or even to fix problems their own foulups cause.

Trouble areas include body panel fit, rust, paint, water leaks, electrical
gremlins, rattles, multiple sound system failures, clutch failure, the
shift linkage falling apart, the alternator mount breaking, two air-
conditioner failures... plus I've spent close to $2000 on repairs made
necessary by poor dealer workmanship which neither the dealers involved nor
Audi cared to do anything about.

When the car works right, it is a joy. But I'll never buy another. In fact,
I'll sell you mine CHEAP.
