[s-cars] May be parting out a '93 S4

[Steve Marinello]

On another '93 S4, my PITA brother-in-law who has had me looking, twice, for 
an ECU for him, has now apparently decided to DONATE the car.  It has some 
undefined cooling line/system problem that the dealwer in Westlake, CA 
wanted to charge him $990 to repair over a year ago.  So the car has been 
sitting.  He finally decided to fix it, but it would not start so he had it 
towed back the dealer (Yes, I told him about Ingolstadt West) where they 
told him the ECU was toast.  Whether ot not it is, my only additional 
involvement with him will be to find out what he'd sell it for when he 
figures his tax deduction $$$.  The dealer has told him that if he doesnt' 
fix it, no one would want it and it will just get junked.  He actually 
called a yard hoping to get something for it and they said they'd charge him 
to pick it up.

No one even wnats to consider the old cars, unless they already know them...
