There seems to be a variety of opinions on the value of mid-80's
4000Qs.  Since I own one, I've been watching various postings here.
I've put together a summary since last October.  I deleted the
details for brevity.  It's still quite long, but interesting to see
the range of prices.  I'm sure geographic location is relevant too.
Most postings don't specify where the car is located.

  I'm in the market for an 88 (possibly 87) 4000 CSQ. Seems prices 
  go from around $3500 - $6000.

  '85 4000sQ at Audi dealer, 110K
   The dealer said that is has an intermittent missing problem at low
   RPM, and they were going to wholesale the car for about $1500

   Well, after some thought, I bought the car. It was just too good 
   to pass up...

  '84 4000sq w/ 108,000 miles for under CDN$2000.

   '86 4000 CSQ was totalled, 70K miles
   What should I accept as fair market value for the car?  It was in mint
   condition inside and out, perfectly maintained (receipts for everything)

   I would say your 4000 had to be worth around $4500-5000 AT LEAST.
   I'm not sure of market value, but I've been scanning prices for a 
   while 'just in case' and that seems about right.

   How much should I expect to pay for a 86-87 4000q with leather and
   sunroof?  I would like one with under 100,000 miles.  

wallace@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu Thu, 9 Feb 1995
   '84 GT 100K, at dealer. Seems to be in fairly decent shape.
   Asking $2,800.  Sounds high to me.

reesor@tss.com Thu, 9 Feb 1995
   '81 Coupe with 92k. I paid $1000.  Generally perfect shape.
   My guess is I've got about $2000 in it now. To me, $2800 for a good
   '84 seems reasonable if it is in very good shape.

   Excellent condition inside and out. $4200

   Is 4000 a bit high for it's mileage year? Just wondering.

   I just sold mine for $2000 with less mileage and in MINT shape,
   remember it is 11 years old!

wallace@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu Thu, 23 Feb 1995
   I would like to buy an 84 or 85 4kQ or a GT 
   Want to spend between $2000 and 4500.

   > '84 or '85 4000Q or GT @ $4500
   Should get you a nice GT, if you get a q at this price you stole it
   (start at double your figure)
