My old car for sale (5000 TQA w. IA Chip in Colorado)

I noticed that the guy I sold my 5000 tqa has listed it on Craig's List for
$1800. (almost half of what he paid for it).

It looks like he's not really an Audi guy, and he's obviously dumped a bunch
of $$$ into it, although it was pretty well sorted when he purchased it.

If someone is interested, here are a few things he's forgotten about or
never knew:

IA stage 1 chip + wastegate spring, pulls 1.9 bar
Springs from an A8, which stiffen the suspension but don't lower it.
Short shifter
35% tint on windows
Bra

In the last two years (car sold to him in summer of 2006)
New blower motor
New heater core
New brakes and rotors all around (why he needed brake work? I don't know)
New tires (there were summer and dedicated snows on rims when I sold it to
him)

In the last two years
New Turbo
Valve job
New engine mounts all around
New timing belt/water pump/etc (everything you'd do as part of this job)
New starter
New battery

When sold a year ago, all heated seats worked, all windows worked, door
handles, power locks all sorted out and functioning perfectly, diff locks
functioned perfectly. Car pulled 1.9 bar, was very fast.

You can see his listing at http://denver.craigslist.org/car/300490883.html

Ironically, this is the second time I've seen one of my old Audis on Craig's
List in the last two months.

Anyhow, I have no connection to the current owner, but I thought I'd pass
this along to any listers who are looking for a 5000 avant. I'm now an S6
guy, so struggling with a whole new set of problems, like how to afford the
Porsche big reds.
