Ladies and Gentlemen:  With heavy heart I must put up my white 87 
4000CS Quattro due to the fact I don't have the time to finish the project.

It's white, with the black cloth Quattro logo seats(rest of interior 
in very good condition), has 109k on the odo(but obviously more miles 
on it than that), I have fixed the odo and the speedo works fine. 
Stock sound system.
Motor and tranny were very good when it was put on jackstands 18 
months ago, rear diff has new seals, engine compression was good, but 
the big need is to finish the suspension overhaul.  I have new strut 
cartridges all around and 8 new CV boot kits.  Engine, tranny and dif 
are in need of fluid refills.

The body is in pretty good condition, with some minor rust issues, 
but most have been PORed already.  Only a few minor dings in the 
bodywork, all the glass is good, sunroof works, as do all 4 power 
window regulators(fr. pass. is a little slow). Have two sets of rims 
and tires(the white set has decent rubber and nitrogen and the other 
needs snows put on it). I have a fair amount of new parts and some 
used spares that go with it and new rear ebrake cables.  I have the 
factory owners manual, some repair receipts from previous owner, 
and  the big red Bentley that goes with it too.

Other than the suspension/ halfshaft rebuild needs, the car needs the 
following:   Battery, radiator, alternator, engine mounts, and likely 
a timing belt kit as a PM.  The engine has the usual oil leaks around 
the oil temp sender and the AC didn't work when I got it.  Driveshaft 
was very smooth.

This car is way too good to junk, I have a clear title to it, and 
need to get $700 out of it.  It resides in my garage in Cedar Falls 
Iowa.   It will have to be trailered and some creative loading 
techniques will have to be employed to get it on the trailer.  I'm 
willing to help in any way I can.  If you can, give this car a second 
chance.  Pmail me if you want some photos. I bought it wanting to 
make it a winter car for our family.

Thanks,

DM&FS
