4000', 80/90 B3 Chassis (1988-1992.), Coupe quattros (all), and Urq (original quattro), are all easy to work on and can be incredibly reliable. 5000 quattros are, relatively speaking, terrible in comparison. I'd argue Urs4's (the original S4) are also expensive to maintain. BUT, having said that, each chassis has it's enthusiasts that love them. If you're willing to do the time, they can be awesome.
The actual quattro drivetrain is bullet-proof, and its extremely rare to do any repair work on the drivetrain. Wear items like wheel bearings, CV joints not included...but very long lasting. The weak points on older Audis are electrical, suspension/bushings and door handles on the 87 and older models.
I stopped counting at 48 Audi's owned, from all sorts of chassis models...so I probably know what I'm talking about...
