89 200 quattro available cheap Toronto Ontario

[Colin Barfoot]

I am looking for offers for the entire vehicle - the car needs to be taken away - I don't have a place to strip and sell parts.
My 89 200 quattro currently needs more repairs than the car is worth to fix it.
It is at Owasco Audi in Whitby southern Ontario (~ 40km east of downtown Toronto).

You can reach me at this email address - or for serious offers at colin.barfoot at opg.com (my address at my current prime contract).

The car has just over 315,000 km,  I have owned it for 2 years and have the maintenance recods from the previous 2 owners - for the past 6 years before that.
The A/C was just converted to run R134 and all maintenance was up to date.  The car was run on Mobile 1 15W-50 summers 10W-30 winters.  Slight surface rust in fenderwells and along rear skirt under the "plastic chrome strip on the rear bumber".  The car uses 1L oil every 7000 km.  The hydraulic system has no leaks.  Power everything works.  Front tires are worn from a lapping day at Mosport - driver training track rears are fine ~ 1/4" tread left.  Full size spare.
The car is black with alcantra - cloth with leather trim interior - with the real wood trim.

Only mods are the Official Schrapell Knobben (TM) Samco hose and Audi turbo bypass valve.

The problem is that somehow I bent the transmission half shaft - I had occasionally had found it very difficult to get the car into reverse...and recently it was getting harder hand harder to shift into first.  The dealer says the half shaft has also damaged the clutch and flywheel and needle bearing on the crankshaft??? ~ $3000 CDN for parts at dealer prices.
 
It saddens me to send this message - since I have been a quattro owner since 1990 but cannot afford to get a new Audi at present.  Hopefully I haven't been on the list for a while having moved to Toronto setting up as a consulting engineer (was colin_barfoot at email.msn.com) no longer active account so don't reply there).
