[s-cars] What's it worth?? 90/90 20vt

[RM]

Not to sound critical, but you prob. sold it far too cheap unless there was 
an outstanding issue with it. But the era of purchases prove that the car 
was bought/sold during the heyday of classic/rare car market boom. No one i 
know who paid large sums of cash for anything rare in the late 80's early 
90's came close to making their money back. Having said that, we are dealing 
with two totally different  cars here. Your's was a standard stock issue 
audi, rare or not. The 90 i have, by and large is something that Audi did 
make in a way, but is literally nearly unobtainable. Anyway, what keeps me 
from selling this car  for the simple purpose of 'making room' is that the 
level of attention paid to details as of yet. No, it doesn't look complete, 
nor is it that close to drivable. There is cosmetic issues to address once 
it nears completion. But i have seen a number of turbo conversions in VW nd 
Audi cars and many of them lack patience and details. That scares me. This 
was nothing like that. I didn't have to have the interior taken out (dash, 
column, seats... not carpet, headliner etc.) to do this job, but i wanted it 
as close to stock/OEM without going insane with nonsense. So, as I stated 
earlier, I'm not anxious to part with it, and someone needs to offer an 
amount that won't have me thinking i really should have kept it. Judging by 
the personal responses I received today alone, i'm thinking there is at 
least a handful of buyers out there, so we'll see!
