Pics of the accident\Value

[Tom Mullane]

Mike,

I have been toying with the idea of selling my 200 and moving to an S car.
I've been looking at classified ads and posted a query on the AudiWorld
forum.  My car is black with gray sport interior, 160K, and well maintained.
I estimate that the care is worth somewhere around $5200 - $5500.  There are
at least 4 91 200's for sale in the AudiFans marketplace right now, but I
think they are priced beyond market (YMMV).  I would suggest you call on
some of the ads, and see if the cars have been sold; maybe you'll get lucky.
I also recall the pissing match on this forum a month or so ago between
someone selling a black 200 with some interesting mods and those who
questioned the marketability of the car due to the mods.  Search the
archives for that; the car did eventually sell.  I know of a 200 that was
sold locally for about $3800, but that was a bargain, and will do little for
your cause.

Good luck in your quest, and please keep posting your results.

The damage estimate is over $14k. I suppose I get to do battle with the
insurance company now to try to get a fair value out of them.

The engine moved back about 3 inches. It still cranks over but will not
start. I have no idea if there is engine/tranny damage but suspect there
very well could be. Based on that, I am leaning towards not buying the
salvage back from the insurance company unless it is very cheap.

I'd be grateful if anyone wants to share recent purchase details on a 91
200q.

If anyone wants to guess at the cars value, here are the details. The odo
reads about 150k. New tranny from Germany about 30k mi ago. New UFOs last
yr. New rack, PS pump, starter and alternator last fall. New plug wires.
Timing belt about 30k mi ago. Black interior with sport seats. Interior in
very good condition - one small tear in the drivers seat. Stock Bose radio.
Bilsteins (HD) about 2 yrs ago. Exterior was pretty good with a couple small
door dings - drivers side had new clear coat last fall and the rust around
the rear bumper was also fixed at that time. One season on BFG 225/60/15
touring TAs.Wheels are stock and are pitted.

I guess I'll start looking for another one or something to replace it. Maybe
a 95.5 S6.
