Hey Dave, how much are you looking to spend?  A Passat would make a nice
family vehicle, earliest available would be a 90.  Probably only run
about $3,000.  2L 16v engine woudl be useful as a transplant/rebuild when
you're done with it too! :)

As far as Audis go, I always had the perception that maintenance was no
more frequent then with a VW, but could be a bit more expensive.
