How true... I had a 1986 Audi 5000 wagon. The body has galvanized panels and didn't rust, the interior was heavy grey leather, it was a beautiful car. I spent a bunch of money getting the everything fixed. It had a computer system that monitored everything and would beep and flash a red triangle with a code in the center of the dash. About every year, it was beep beep beep, flash [insert code here] flash, beep, beep, beep. It meant spend another 2K on a repair. I had Import Masters on Cherry on speed dial.
