[urq] '82 Urq Euro imported history request

[urq]

Welcome to the active group Matt!  It is great to know that you've found 
sufficient value here so far ... 


For an imported car this old I would doubt that there'd be much value in paying 
to get a CarFax ... maybe there is.

In preparation for this post I checked the urqregistry website ... which appears 
to be defunct.  Over time the most useful registry I'm aware of is the one Bill 
Bremer maintains ... he has your VIN from your post and I expect he'll let you 
know if it is in his system.  Unfortunately, the way Bill established his 
system, the information contained in it cannot be made more available publicly.

In my search I found some comments about the urq on a 911 registry, where they 
mentioned that the low import numbers and lack of interest at the time of the 
original sale will make the urq an "also ran" in terms of long term value.  I 
have always held out hopes that it would not be the case ... but the one thing 
that we as a community cannot seem to do is to establish an active registry as a 
means of keeping the urq in people's minds.  It may be true that there is a more 
active urq community in forum space ... I've never gotten accustomed to having 
to visit a forum to remain a part of the community ... 


We talk about urq registry's every so often over time ... the link Blau had is 
long gone ... is ACNA doing anything along these lines?  What should urq owners 
and fans be doing to make an urq registry a vibrant and long term tool?

Matt, I hope that your find is what you have been looking for ... I suspect an 
imported early car would make a good starting point ... and I hope that we'll be 
able to help you make the right decision!

Steve Buchholz

Hello,
long time lurker here and big fan, and I've been in the hunt for a car and this 
one just happens to pop up through a friend locally.  


I'm looking for history on the car as the ODO looks to be changed over to US 
version upon import and shows 53k miles. 


It's an '82 Black on Black.  Euro bumpers and H1/H4's, BBS wheels.  VIN is 
WAUZZZ85ZCA900171.  I have not done a carfax check yet.  And looks to have been 
a NJ car at some point, does have some minor rust in the usual spots.  If you 
would like to see pics please email me at mixtery at yahoo dot com.

Pleasure to be posting here for the first time!
-Matt
