Sell it, Part it, or fix it?

[Matt Daniels]

It's been awhile since I've posted here, but I need some advice on my
'86 4000 cs quattro.

Thanks to our wonderful economy, I recently had to sell my 2000 A4 1.8T
Avant, the plan was to step back into my '86 4kcsq as my driver. The car
has been sitting undriven (and unsold) since October last year. I took
the car in for the Utah State Inspection and it failed miserably,
according to the shop (a well respected Audi shop) the entire rear
brakes need to be replaced - pads, rotors, lines and one caliper. Price
will be about $700. Well, I can't afford this right now, and once I land
back on my feet I plan on getting rid of this car anyway, so I really
don't want to put that amount of money into it. Plus, the shop said the
front brakes aren't looking to good either, although they will pass
inspection. This car also has a number of cosmetic problems, namely some
rust, a nice dent in the left fender, and the usual scratches, dings,
etc.

Since I've pretty much ruled out fixing it, my other two options are to
sell it or part it. I would like to just sell it and get it out of my
hair, but I have a feeling that I wouldn't get squat for it knowing that
the rear brakes are shot (and I'm not the type to hide something like
that from a future buyer), I would love to get $1500 from it, but that
might be wishful thinking. I'm open to parting it out, but the hassle
might be more than I'm willing to deal with right now.

If you want to see pics of the car, you can find them here:

Eurolight have been sold and have been replaced with the stock parts.

Any advice would be helpful,

Soon to be Audiless,
