[s-cars] FS: '91 200 Turbo Q Wagon

[Ray Tomlinson]

All,

A friend and fellow 20V and 200TQ lister recently acquired a third '91
200TQW, and needs to make room in his driveway.  I am forwarding to the list
his description in order to give a lister first crack before he lists the
car on e-bay:

<<SNIP>>

Good Day,

        Due to my good fortune of finding yet another '91 TQW, I find myself
with an extra (or two).

 I am selling this Lago Blue 1991 200TQW.  This is a nice solid car that
needs little to be just
about perfect.  I would have no hesitation to keep it (my original intent)
but something tells me
that 9 cars, and 7 Audi's is getting pretty close to the limit.  I have put
a few thousand miles on
it without a hitch... and the odo now reads around 132K miles.  The price is
$6100 and I'm not real
excited about negotiating, but you can try.  I'll make no apologies for the
price or description as
this is an HONEST description.  The car is located on my Audi farm in NH.

	You can still see the car on Ebay by putting in this item #.

	2457358891

        I do NOT have any new pictures of the car, but the condition is
unchanged since my purchase
(cleaner, actually).

	Here's your updated description:

	Paint not "perfect" as described in the ad.

It looks very, very nice, but the clearcoat on the driver's door and the
fender is "weak."  The
finish is duller than the rest of the car.  If I were to keep it, I'd
probably have it wet sanded
and re-shot with clearcoat.

Only one thing that's really an issue: The steering rack should probably be
replaced.

There's a very, very, very small hole in the rear resonator which is
interesting because the entire
exhaust is in good shape (I'd weld it for $10, but even an inspection may
not detect it).

I'd probably change the timing belt since I don't know when it was last
done.

I'm not getting any sound out of the front speakers but the former owner put
in what I believe is
the incorrect BOSE head unit and it wouldn't surprise me if it's just not
hooked up correctly.
Personally, I'd be done with it and spend a buck and a half on something
from Crutchfield.  That is
what I was going to do.  I may also be able to throw in the CORRECT Delta
unit if anyone would want
that.

There is -small- amount of oil leaking from the valve cover gasket.

The front brakes are G60's.

The wheels are about as nice looking as you will find, and have NOT been
refinished.

The oil pressure needle fluctuates on occassion... it's the gauge... not the
pressure...I assure
you.  I think this is a common and easy one shot solder job.  I might be
inclined to fix this this
weekend.

The leather is in extremely good shape, but not absolutely perfect.  There
are some scuffs on the
back of the rear seat (in the hatch area so not really that noticeable).

Otherwise the car is ALL there....shifts smooth, pulls hard, handles
nicely.... pulls 1.8 bar.  My
wife really likes the car because she says it is "much smoother" than my
gray one.  It is not
chipped and seems like an "unmolested" ride.

It's a NICE car, that needs very little to be SUPER... I'd probably do
shocks in a year or so...
they're ok, but aging, like all of us.

Comments I've received from other Audi folks have been very positive.

I've had the car just long enough I think to discover even the little issues
so while it might seem
that there's a few pain in the a@@ issues you won't get a more honest
description of a used car.

Please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested as I will
advertise to the general
public soon....

Please write or call with any questions, phone number furnished on request.
