1991 Audi 200T Auto-tranny Qs

[L DC]

Thanks Mark.
 
Like any seller, I guess he is just trying to get the most money for his product.
 
As I left the owner's lot, I told him I would give him about $100 more than the junk-yard would, that would put it around $400.
 
Best Regards,

The seller is a thief - YOU made it run and now he wants $200 MORE for it????


Come back in a month and offer him $300 if you really, really want the car.


Autotranny + turbo is a problem, the transmissions were NOT strong enough even in the N.A. cars - and I seem to recall something about a 1991 only 4 speed transmission also, anyone want to chime in?


Unfortunately, all put together it is maybe worth a grand and that will be hard to get if you try to sell it. This is not a low-maintenance car, either.


Nice to drive, comfortable, not fast, but you could do a lot worse very easily.


What else is missing after it was all taken apart? The A/C not working might kill the deal, in fact it WOULD kill it if you are anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line.


Don't fall in love with this one, look in the Quattro list for-sales and see what these are going for. I've seen some nicer cars for not very much more money.
