Instead, what about a Lotus Elise, or a Honda S2000? They are both good cars, and you could also take them to the track.

They are fine, maybe a tad more expensive to repair than a more "standard" car. No more or less reliable than any other similar car if maintained properly. Nothing magical about buying one.

Tune Dub is the most highly recommended off-warranty Audi/VW service place I'm aware of, labor is $100/hr or so, similar to the dealership. I would recommend Tune Dub for the inspection as well.

Just get it inspected, test drive it over some rougher roads, run a car PROOF, etc. Same as any other car.

Check out audiworld.com and audizine.com for a wealth of specific information.
