FW: New to the list

[kzildjian at home.com]

Hello All,
  I just sold my 175,000 Mile 1988 90Q for $5000.  It has a book value
of 1/2 of that.  The person that bought it was very happy.  $1800
Canadian is not bad for an Audi 4000 if the body is perfect and the
motor runs strong.  I say "GOOD LUCK" with it, and enjoy it to the
fullest.  It is a fun car.
