[V8] FW: [Marketplace] Cars: 1991 Audi V8 Quattro 5-Speed

[Ron Wainwright]

Yes I know this car. I as well was a bit surprised. We
were discussing what the car might be worth as is a
few weeks ago...& he does have 2 other Audi's & not
alot of time to all of them. So I suppose one has to
go.
 But I got Mike in touch with Steve cause it was a bit
frustrating diagnosing cross Coast. Steve was kind
enough to take a look at the car...so I would relly on
your assesment of the car..cause you seen it/drove it.
But,
me & Mike have spend hrs on the phone & IM'ing
eachother.
 This was the car I was originally going to go get
last Oct/Nov. PO stated it smoked out the exhaust
pipe...which from what Mike has mentioned is still
happening. It's not known why...but I would think
heads, or rings...but again, I haven't seen the car,
so I don't know how bad the smoke is. Car does over
250k..more near 260k.
 As Steve described it is a pretty car & Mike does try
too keep up with the Gabors(sp?) out there in
kali..hang loose man ;-P.

 But barring rings being bad on this car it's a
PERFECT 4.2 recipeant!!!!! It's got Porsche Big
Brakes, BBs rims & another set of some after market
rims, Black sport's, ect.....

 I think his price is a good one in anyevent.
