Description:
NO PICTURES.

First off, I apologize for the long post, but I have done a lot of work on this car and wanted to be as detailed as possible and have full disclosure, especially for any potential long distance purchasers. Iâve sold many cars over the years and always have lengthy posts. I can refer anyone interested to previous for sale ads. I  have seen a lot of requests for more pictures and lots of details and I myself have a lot of questions when buying a car, so hope you enjoy. Thanks for your consideration

Looking for $6000. There is no reason that I have to sell the car. This is 1 of 1730 Audi Coupe Quattros sold in the US between 1990 and 1991. These are very tough to find and even tougher to find one in great condition. The styling and lines on this car are amazing, not to mention the technology for a 1990 (heated seats, power seats, memory etc.).

This is my sixth German car, fourth Audi and third CQ. It always takes me months to find just the right one to buy and I look at least once a week on ebay, craigslist all over the US. They were either too expensive, too far or in horrible shape. I bought this car through a person I knew after pestering him for 2 months. Every time I buy one I do the same thing, tear it apart clean everything and fix/replace anything that is broken or doesnât work,

100% clear title. The previous owner was also a huge classis Audi enthusiast and an Audi mechanic. The car is pearl white (originally a $3000 option), 5-speed manual.

Since owning the car for 8 months Iâve spent about $4000 on replacement and upgrade parts purchased at a discount through my contacts. Furthermore, Iâve spent countless hours (probably upwards of 150-200 hours of my own labor. With all the items replaced you may think this car had a lot of issues. Thatâs not the case. I am just a perfectionist and have to have a 20 year old car be brand new, which is one of the reasons I should not own it. Iâve already spent a lot of money and would spend much more so I need to cut my losses early.

Pretty much everything has been cleaned, maintained, refreshed, upgraded, fixed and works. Below is detailed info on what was installed, replaced and any issues or observations.

[u][b]Engine:[/b][/u]
The car pulls strong. Does not leak a drop of oil, coolant, power steering or any fluid. I drove the car over 150 miles from Seattle to Portland and it sits in my garage and not a single drop of any fluid is on the ground. The transmission does not grind and clutch does not slip at all. The idle does not wander or hiccup at all. The car runs smooth as butter from 5 mph to 80 mph.
