95 audi 90 reliability?

I am looking at an audi 90S quattro w/ 130K on it. It had the timing
belt/water pump, etc at 117K. Anything else to look for?
thanx,
andy

Silent blocks on front wheels triangle might be worn.
If worn, you feel them moving while driving slowly and pressing/letting go,
the gas pedal.
Typically, the car should be o.k.

I have one with 180K. I've had to replace the normal wear parts in the
suspenstion and normal service items. Last weekend I rebuilt the heads
(valve guides, seals).
When I was in there, I could still see the original machining marks on
bearing races and cylinder walls! I expect a long life out of that engine.

This engine was known for more oil consumption than others and oil leaks
in the upper engine. Nothing major.

I've had mine for 5 years. I bought it with 100,000 miles in 1999.
After fixing some vacuum leaks and some normal maintenance things, it runs
better
now than when I bought it. I intend to keep it for a while. I sold my last
audi (1985 4000Q) with 315,000 miles only because I wanted a newer model
with the V6. It still ran great and used no oil.
