Hi I apologise in advance as I imagine you hear this all the time...
I need a reliable cheap second family car and have an A4 in my sights. The car will probably only cover 4k miles a year. I have 2 cars that I'm viewing over the weekend and would appreciate some direction..

car 1 - 1997 1.8t sport manual 144k, fsh, belts, clutch, discs, suspension arms recently changed .. 3 owners, last owner 11yrs - vvgc. £1300

car 2 - 1997 2.8 quatro auto tiptonic 120k, fsh, belts water pump, cat convert, suspension bushes recently changed.. 3 owners. last owner 7 years - vvgc £1700.

Both cars are bog standard and I have no interest in modding them.

Any knowledge on reliabilty/driving experience and ownership would be gratefully received.. Is the turbo risky at this milage ??
