i bought my '99 C4 with 78K on it. $25K with Fabspeed mufflers, H&R springs, Evo intake and chip, 19" champion wheels with Proxes 1s.
so far I have $9500 into maintence and repairs including a transmission rebuild, clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel($5300+ my labor). that includes a set of Blizzaks and turbos from TireRack.
We don't have MN level winters but even lowered it's my daily driver here.

One gotcha, it does not like climbing the snow berms and ruts when changing lanes in the snow.
I put Bridgestone RE050A on the 19's, they seem to be summer only, Marginal in a very heavy rain. and above 40 degrees.

one of these days I may test drive a C2 to compare, but i like the way an AWD car seems to plant itself.
Good Luck
