'88 5000S Auto FS; Any Buyer Beware?

[cobram at juno.com]

The 5000's are known as "type 44" Audi's.  Long story short, there is
absolutely NOTHING that justifies the costs of keeping a normally
aspirated automatic FWD  type 44 up and running.  Keeping everything
working and running on a Quattro or a Turbo Quattro type 44 has it's
rewards when you drive the car,  no such payback on this particular
configuration.  Anything over $500 for this thing and I'd definitely
recommend a pass.
