1988 5ktqa Olympic Edition found!

[Louis-Alain RICHARD]

Nice cars, Zsolt!

I always liked the looks of a big car in a solid (read non-metallic) color
like bright red or dark blue. 

BTW, is the black grille and headlamps surrounds OEM or you did some
detailing? 

I will be in Toronto next week and I will surely stop there to see the
beast. Honey is not "against" another red turbo Audi in the family... That
being said, she was not really "for" it...

I guess you are making a good point. Everything is worth as much, or 
little as they are willing to pay for it.

I bought my 88 Olympic car a couple of years ago with around 140k km for 
6,000 CAN. I thought I paid a lot for it at the time, definitely more 
than average, but the car was all original, very tight and well taken 
care of. This is why the type 44 is such a great deal, and luckily for 
those of us who like them a great value.

IMO this one is still too expensive for 8G. People are willing to pay 
more for Volvos. They never got the reputation that Audis did in the 80s 
driving through garage doors. Which we all know is complete BS...but 
that's a different thread.

Cheers,
  Zsolt
