>Subject: Is 100,000 miles too much?

While no expert on the Eurovan-derivative of the inline-5 motor, I can fully
attest to their durability in other vehicles.  My '88 Audi 90 with a 2.3 L
5-cylinder engine has travelled more than 350 THOUSAND miles with no major
problems from the engine.  Outside of regular maintenance the car has
required surprisingly little other work.  It recently completed a rather
uneventful trip to Orlando of some 1000 miles with speeds frequently
exceeding 90 Mph..  I know of other drivers of Audi 5-cylinder cars who
crossed the 200 K mile mark with similarly satisfying results.

Perhaps the question should be "Is $5000 too much?" instead.
