Pricing 4kq for sale

[Cody Forbes]

Where you at? I'll pick up the TQA so you don't have to deal with the trouble of towing it somewhere ;-).

Seriously, come spring I'll be in the market for a typ44 TQA of some sort. I hugely regret hesitating on the red 5ktqa that was posted here in December.


I'm in the same boat. I'm driving my 5000's simply because they are so worthless in terms of money that there's simply no point in selling them. I'll keep driving until they simply won't anymore. Trouble is that it seems like that's not going to happen any time soon! My black one has carried me and the family from Charlotte to Savannah, Springfield MO, New York City, and Miami (returning to Charlotte each trip) without a hitch since December and averaged 34mpg doing so.
