FS: 1986 5KTQ

[Ron Katona]

1986 5000 CS Turbo Quattro for sale - $500. Car is located in Laurel, MD
near Fort Meade. I was going to sell this car about six months ago, but
decided to keep it as a daily driver... it performed flawlessly until
last week! The charging system has failed and the battery is now dead
(battery is under warranty from Sears). Could be as simple as a loose
belt, or a bad alternator. I'm moving out of state at the end of the
month and simply don't have time to fix it, nor a way to transport the
car to my new location.

The car is rough, but not a wrecked or salvaged vehicle. It would make a
good project car, parts car, or a daily driver "beater" with the
alternator issue sorted out. A previous owner replaced the odometer and
did not document the swap - mileage is unknown but believed to be in the
200k-225k mile range (title search showed a last good reading of 164,000
about four years ago). Body panels are straight other than dings.
Driver's seat is torn (but seat memory works), passenger seat fair, rear
seat good. A/C inop, trip computer works, windows work (but are slow),
sunroof works, paint crackled on roof. Motor burns a quart every 1000
miles, radiator replaced last fall. You have the option of trying to fix
it in my lot, or towing it away.

NOTE: Please contact me privately at M3 at alienracing.net (my bellatlantic
account will close shortly and I will probably drop off this list).

BTW, thanks to all on the list for the advice I've received in the past
year - it helped keep the car running well as daily transportation
during that time!
