I'll recommand you to think it twice!  I can give you 2 reasons:

	First, VW is not as good as it before, my QUANTUM (84) has its
speedometer replaced, radiator tank repaired, brake recalled, ...
in one year.
	Second, QUANTUM has a very good stereo ($535.00 for parts only),
so you will be No. 1 target in parking lot for a burglar.  Even if you
didn't lost you stereo, you lost by paying a HIGH premium for your
auto insurance.

	But, the car itself is fine, it's nice to drive, it has a good
engine (same as AUDI 5000), it's comforable and loaded, its price is
especially attractive (its list price includes almost all options).
If you really are VW-biased, make an offer, I'll sell my 1 yr. old
(purchased Nov. 84) QUANTUM (only 10k on it) to you at a bargain price.
