Seems a bit high to me, unless he's done a lot of recent work on the car...
I live in Vermont also and have seen 5K wagons of similar vintage with less
mileage sell for $1k to $1.5k less.  Eurotech (factory unauthorized Audi
specialist in South Burlington) had an 85 5K a while back -- around 115k, if
I remember correctly -- I think he was asking $3995.  Don't know whether he
sold it for that, or whether he had to come down...
