Buy my 5ktq PLEASE

[paanta at splatterfish.com]

All,
  I know a lot of you don't read the marketplace all that often, so I'll
waste some badwidth here:
  I've got a 144,000 mile young 1988 Audi 5Ktq that needs a loving
home.  Pearl colored.  I bought it two months ago for $1750 and
immediately threw about $1400 into it replacing the IC, subframe,
front struts (bilsteins) + strut mounts, etc.  Then I got a really, really
good deal on a VR6 Jetta.  I don't need TWO comfortable cars, so
the Audi has to go ASAP before I change my mind.  :)
  Things it needs still:  A/C does not work because the compressor
siezed.  I have a used compressor that'll go with the car.  Bomb is
leaking some pentosin (one or two drops a day...in two months I
haven't had to add any pentosin) and seems to be on its way out.
Center driveshaft support bearing has some play in it and is causing
the driveshaft to tap the front crossmember on hard
acceleration...this started after I replaced the subframe.  Dent in front
passenger door toward bottom, and fender is white, not pearl.
Force5 has both bits in Pearl for $65 and $40.  Other minor electrical
things -> power mirrors don't move, horn dosen't work.
  Basically, I bought the car knowing it'd been in a minor incident in
which it was driven into a corn field.  I was told that there was no
damage other than the door and fender, but when I took it to have it
aligned, it turned out the subframe was slightly bent.  I replaced it,
and now the car aligns perfectly.  I had the frame dimensions
checked by a good body shop, and they said it was fine.  So, those
really are the only issues with the car.  Interior is gorgeous except for
about a 1.5 inch tear in the driver's side seat bolster, car makes 1.3
bar boost, front end w/ new bilsteins is tight.
  Like I said, I bought it for $1750 and put $1400 in.  I'd be happy to
get $1700 or whatever its worth to you.  Please, take it off my hands.
The poor thing is just sitting around not being driven.  I'm in Ann
Arbor, Michigan.
