Run FAR AWAY from used Audis. I can understand why she wants one, since many college girls around here have them. It is the "in" thing. I think that on campus more girls own Audi A4s or VWs than anything else. They are far from reliable or cheap to own though, and many shops around here charge a pretty penny to work on them.
My ex-GF had an Audi A4. I've never seen so many parts fall off a vehicle, and that says a lot because I own a Cherokee.
Hers was only a few years old, and it was an electrical nightmare. My sister had a VW Jetta, which is made by the same company as Audi (Volkswagen Audi Group) and the trans failed at 100k miles. The engine also burned 2 quarts of oil every month, and she bought it with a full service record.
Hondas and Toyotas are not the most exciting vehicles, but they are PERFECT for college kids. College is extremely expensive as it is, the last thing kids want to be paying for (or their parents) is expensive car repairs.
