87 5000 wagon & D60A4s @15K miles

[Antilles Engineering <antilles@madriver.com>]

Dear Audites,

Replacing the 88 VW Quantum Syncro goat and came across a fairly nice 1987
5000 waggon with 160K miles on it.  Looks to be in good shape (couple of
dings) but interior wear is minimal and eng. compartment doesn't have that
"been messed with" look.  Will do the full mechanical evaluation with an
Audi Mechanic/friend next weekend plus up through the numbers on a little
hill I happen to know well.   The chap wants $5,500.  If in avg. condition
for it's age, is this ball park?  Any special things to look for on this
particular beast?

And on the D60A4s--had them on the 1990 200QS for over a year now.  We live
in the mountains of Vermont (1,200 fooot change in elevation just to get
down to the mail box!) and the roads up heah ain't all that good, doncha
know, Bub?  I run them at 37psi.  Wonderful cornering, good traction on
snow, never seem to notice ice (Thank You Mr. Torsen) and all around, (for
$58/tire plus shipping and mounting) one helluva good deal.  

Comments are TIAed

later
