Re: Price, 90 Quattro -1988

["Anthony K.B. Chan" <chan@seattleu.edu>]

In the forth sentence of the first paragraph I meant to say the 80/90 is 
less problematic than the 5000/100/200 series. Sorry about the confusion :(
It's been a very crazy couple of weeks at work I tend to not type I've my 
mind :)

Does it has a 5 cylinders or the 4 cylinders engine? I never had a 4 
cylinders but I can tell you the 5 cylinders engine are very reliable. I 
had an 85' 5000s or 100 they call them in Europe. I sold it with 125,000 
miles on it, the engine never had any problem. 

The only drawback about the 90 is if it is the newer rounder body style 
then the shape of the trunk is really small and odd shaped.
