[s-cars] Re: 1994 Black S4 for sale...bad clutch

[chris chambers]

OK I will add to what has been said. If I was looking at a crippled
car, I would plan on paying significantly less than perceived
value-expected repairs.

Why?

#1 Why buy a disabled car unless you can fix it and have less into it
than what it's worth? Why take on the aggrivation when you can keep
shopping and buy a running car?

#2 Risk of additional "hidden" repairs needed. Supposedly its just the
clutch, what if I find out the transmission is toast?

$3 Cheap....most people that buy disabled cars are cheap and want a
SUPER deal.


Hope this info makes sense, I would plan on repairing the car if at all
possible. You should get significantly more for it that way.

PS for a disabled non running S4 I'd pay $3,000...that's because I
would have to assume the transmission is weak or gone and it needs a
new clutch. The brakes are also an unknown area, does it just need a
master cylinder or am I going to have to replace come calipers/rotors
too.


Good luck
Chris

PS The obligatory "fix it and don't sell it" thrown in for good measure
