[s-cars] 1992 S4 on Ebay closing below $5,000 ?

[Doug Landaeta]

Man o man o man.. I wuz watching that one and can
never keep d at mn Ebay time in my head - missed this
by less than an hour! I wudda put a bid in
earlier, but my preference is *not* more Emerald
Green over Ecru - no offense, just BTDT, and even
in rare cars, such as ours, I like originality.

Maybe the new owner will either find us, get
infected, or have a shop estimate the first
tune-up and repair bill, including that
(potentially) leaking rear diff and the (possible)
bad U-joints on the drive shaft, not to mention
the $25 spark plugs! and he/she'll run scared and
sell it to someone already further down the slope!
