In any case, it's amazing the level of abuse these old machines can withstand and still function relatively ok. I don't expect a modern day automobile to go through all this sh!t and still be drivable.
There's also an Audi 100. My dad had one of those back when I first got my licence... I spotted the very same car for sale on the Internet a couple of years ago with 500,000 km on the clock, which is quite an achievement given that quite a few of those were driven by yours truly at a time when I didn't have much mechanical sympathy...
