Turbo 20v

[Adam Mayfield]

Thanks for all the help.  Just a few more questions.  How hard are they to
find?  Even yet, how hard are they to find in good condition?  I found a
1990 Quattro Coupe for about $5K and its got about 130K miles on it.  The
guy in his had says its in good shape but i know people dont always tell th=
e
truth.  I only have about $7000 buget.  It is even possible to find a good
Turbo 20V?

thanks

Adam
