[V8] Boge Turbo Gas Shocks

[Oliver Gruber]

Hi all,
Well that time has come that I have been dreading for quite some time.
Due to a newly expanded family, I need part with my 90V8. Though it is
still a great car, it can no longer carry everyone at once. I guess that
Audi never aimed their design team at the issue of fitting three car
seats across.
I bought it when we lived in Denver Colorado in 1997 and it has carried
us across the country twice and never let me down. It was purchased with
72,000 on the clock and currently has 196,000. It's starting to have a
few electrical gremlins pop up from time to time such as Low Oil
Pressure though the gage has never dipped below 5 bar (unless it's over
100 and in traffic then it goes to just below the 5). Sometimes the Tach
stops working for a few minutes but always pops back up. 
Still looks great, from 15 feet away. No body damage but the paint is
faded. New Hydraulic hoses (all three) 2000 miles ago. New Hydraulic
pump in the last two years. New windshield this July. New Front Pads in
August. Five New Yokahama AVS dB S2's from the tirerack in May. New
Transmission (not Rebuilt) at 145,000. The first Transmission died a
tragic death when a hard line to the ATF cooler in the radiator parted
and bled the poor beast dry. Engine still runs strong with NO smoke. Had
the Timing Belt completely done at 173,000 at Audi Connection in VA.
Every thing that could be or should be replaced was replaced. 
I know that It is not as pristine a copy as some of you might have but I
cannot bear the though of selling it to some 17 year old and let it be
beaten to death. Its not going to get a lot of money from someone off
the street that doesn't know about these cars and its not going to get a
lot from some one who does. If someone needs a second car or a winter
ride, it would be great for that. I might even think about parting it
out if there is enough interest down that avenue. Let me know what you
guys think and I'll go from there.
Oh yea, I have a full set of Boge Turbo Gas Shocks that I purchased from
Bruce at Audi Connection This spring and never got around to installing.
Still in the box and ready to ship. They cost me over $500.00 including
shipping when I got them, I'd ask $400.00 for the set.
The car is in Lebanon, Pa. 17042 
Thanks,
Oliver
