I just got my license and im looking at getting a car. I was first looking for tercels but they seem far too overpriced so i just looked at all cheap cars in the area and came upon this http://fredericton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-Audi-Audi-90-W0QQAdIdZ123339507
The audi seems like a sick car but i know absolutely nothing about cars so i have
come to ask what kind of problems are typical of an audi and what the general
costs are of any repairs or if the car is even worth buying. Thanks in advance for any
replies a i'll boost your karma up to a ten to be nice too

audi's are great cars, but they're expensive to maintain.

yeah man they are super expensive to repair, and by the looks of your budget it doesnt seem as if you would be able to afford repir costs. If i were you, i would scam rides off friends and borrow my rents cars when i have the chance so that way i could save some money. save up some more cash so that way you can get a more reliable car with minimal fixing/repair expense.

Buy yourself a Honda. They're relatively cheap to purchase, incredibly reliable, easy as hell to work on, and there is sooooo much support out there it blows my mind. Even if you know nothing about cars, you can probably fix most things on a Honda. Great gas mileage, too. (Unless you completely destroy your gas mileage by soupin' up your motor and driving it with the pedal to the floor all of the time :-))

please whatever you do, don't put a 4 foot spoiler on the back, or a coffee can for a muffler.
