Hello sports fans!  I am joining the A8 club in the coming days, and am offering my Q for sale.  I am on the bench whether or not to keep it for my 16-year old daughter, and/or a Bliazzak'd Snow Cat alternative to the A8.  Time will tell.   Here are a few of the details:

1990 V8Q - $3200

see it at Jeremy Ward's great site:

Black exterior
- some paint peeling on front & rear bumpers
- one small area of rust on rear 1/4

Tan interior (seats, carpet, dash)
- Conolloy leather
- wool carpets
- burled walnut trim (reads like an Aston Martin!)

Rondell 17" #56 wheels
- Falken Ziex 235-45-17 tires w/13K (rate #1 by Consumer Reports)
- also have factory aero rims

Technical improvements:
- Mintex "red box" pads in front
- Blaupunkt Toronto CD deck
- Competition Ltd lighting harness
- opened up exhaust
- all-new Boge suspension at 172K

Mechanical Condition:
188K miles (94K when I bought it two years ago)
- t-belt failure at 92K, resulting in a new top-end at that time (previous owner, have receipt)
- new t-belt/pump/rollers/plugs/wires/caps at 175K
- oil changes w/filter every 5-6K

    This has been an excellent and reliable car for me in the two years I have owned it.  I put on about 50,000 miles per year conducting my business.   I bought this car after a lengthy search for something that could deliver a reliable, safe and comfortable ride for any conditions.  It was my first Audi, and was a great first experience.  I can only hope that the newer A8 (1999 or 2000) will prove to be it's equal in terms of reliability and ruggedness.

Email with questions, or if you would like more pics.
