Considering your criteria, I'd run screaming from used Audis...they aren't known for being the most maintenance-free cars out there. I seem to have survived my teen age years driving a '67 Bug. Not particularly safe by today's standards, but it was damn economical and never left me stranded (as long as I could bump start it or hot wire it).
After that I had a '85 Toyota pickup that was great. I could haul my music gear in it, put a shell on with Yakimas for carrying bikes and camping, and it lived trouble-free for 95K. My '96 4-runner has been similarly robust - 115K and nothing other than 2 tune/valve adjusts and new shocks and throwout bearing. You should be able to pick up one below $10K...that should be a pretty safe and reliable daily driver. And it will make you really appreciate the 911...especially if you get a 4-runner with a 4-cylinder engine.
