[s-cars] CD Changer for 93 S4 Why not use MP3 player instead? Please read...

[Bruce Mendel]

I would buy everything from you, but it seems like your spelling really went
downhill when you made that offer, which tells me there is something
flim-flammy about the offer. :)

Seriously, would anyone trade a good working '93 10-disc changer for a
partially working one for $200 or something?

Bruce
