I hear you. My Dad had from new, an '87 4000 CS Quattro (black metallic with grey plush fabric interior, cool trunk lid spoiler, those wheels) that I used to drive just as I turned 16. It was a very awesome car to drive, especially during that time. I remember it not having abs brakes: we'd have no problem climbing hills in deep snow, the descent was always scary. One time we literally drove off our driveway in into an almost vertical ditch, the car stalled from coming to a sudden halt. I opened the door, climbed out and walked away to see the car nose down into the snow. My dad says as he walked back to the car, "I'm going to see if I can get it out"... I thought no way. He gets in, starts it up, I think the differential was already locked in both spots, my dad then drove the damn thing right out it. Amazed.
In 1995 after graduating from college and getting my first job, I decide to buy a '92 Corrado SLC VR6. That car was great, it brought back the memories of driving the audi, but it had all the power the VR6 kicked out... - much quicker and sportier. If I were you, I'd get it. Just because it's unique, rare, and you'll appreciate it more because it will remind you of your Dad's 4000. See if there's a mechanic who can handle this car for backup. I can't comment on the reliability of all the little the electronic stuff, because that may affect your decision. Just go for it.
