New Audi

[Chris Dyer]

Wow, God bless ya--an old 100 LS...dig those. The first Audis that showed up 
at my dad's Audi dealership and hence, my first Audi...[insert sappy music 
here]  Got online pix?

I'd guess that those mystery dials are indeed a/c. Many a VAG/Porsche 
product from the 70's had those controls (many times dealer installed) for 
the a/c. I reckon one could crank the heater and the a/c at the same time? 
Or maybe the vents are blocked off?

For parts, check ebay.com; I see lots of old audi stuff there from time to 
time. Also try TPC.

I'd venture to say that if it's in as good a shape as you say, once you've 
completed the fixes and everything's working properly, it should be worth 
considerably more than $245.  I dunno, $1-1.5k?  Not a lot, but that's what 
I'd pay. Really no demand for these cars I reckon.

Good luck!
