[ba] 1993 Audi S4 for under $5,000. what's wrong with it?

[robert weinberg]

yeah, i guess i'm still bitter that i blew $2,800 on my 200q20v. at the time, it appeared it needed paint (roof is faded), tires and shocks. it only have 110k miles plus 17" A4 rims. recent work were new UFOs, timing belt, bomb, radiators plus full maintenance records.

well, thousands of dollars in maintenance (and some mods) later, it still needs paint. LOL! 

see ya,
Robby

I absolutely loved my 200q, but I drove it every day when I had it, and 
hardly treated it like a collectible.  That's probably true of all these 
cars, so < $5K for a '93 S4 doesn't seem unreasonably low to me.
