The OP knows what he is getting into with a Subaru. He has a WRX rally car and he imported a RHD WRX a few years ago.
Personally I would fix the Audi and drive it for a while but that is his decision.

Wow, I completely forgot about this thread (hellloooo New Year's Eve lol).
1) Embellishing price to fix - not really. We aren't in the US (Alberta), shop rate is $120/h. You can't tell from the picture, but the door is severely fubared (the whole door frame is actually "u'd" in a bit, as in the out edges are not flush with the other body panels. The door is concave shaped now). Finding a door? Good luck, there were something like 1000 of these sold in North America 20 years ago.
2) Audi reliability - this Audi doesn't really have a single thing in common with the VW-style audis of the late 90's and onwards. Also, its a car owned by people who realistically couldn't afford it and maintain it the best. It's complicated for its time. It simply needed work done that hadn't been done on a 200K+ car. I'd buy a late 90's A4 in a heartbeat, except for the fact that they are sooooooooooooo slow stock. I've never saw so many cars with so many niggling "small" problems all seem to have 300,000+kms on them.
3) Subarus - I race Subarus :p You guys keep talking trash about them, it just keeps their values lower (than their already absurd prices). I'll take a Subaru any day of the week for a fun daily driver compared to almost any other car. If you can't recognize the difference between an abused car and a maintained and beat on car, that ain't my problem ;)
If anybody wants it, email me at aevokes@shaw.ca . Price is pretty negotiable, I don't really know what to ask for it. I am willing to deliver!
Its good to hear somebody's new years went better than mine, sounds like a good score on the Jeep!
