I need a recession-proof car

When I was a kid, my dad had an Audi 4000. At the time, I thought it was the bee's knees, and it's probably why I started liking German cars. Anyway, after failing to secure work with the National Park Service which I thought I had in the bag, I'm forced to get a retail job until I can finish my masters or get a paid internship and have thought about cutting costs by selling off the TT. It's not all bad news, as I have used this as an excuse to my wife to get a classic Audi. Anyway, I know these old Audis have gremlins so it would have to be a low mileage, and exceptionally well maintained example. Since a UR-Quattro is out of my price range, I found a collector owned '84 Coupe GT with 53K miles. I could pay cash, and eliminate a car payment entirely which would be nice. I'm not sure how easy these are to work on, or how expensive parts might get. The engines are pretty unimpressive. My wife thinks it's ugly, but too me its like a poor man's Quattro. Anyone had one of these?
