Re: Price for 91 V8 5sp

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

I've seen the prices of other Audi he has in the past, I think they were a 
bit higher than they should be. I heard his used wheels are not exactly 
cheap too like $300 for a used one piece forged mesh style 15 x 7.5 BBS 
wheels,  kind of steep. 

I've been to down to the Bay Area in CA a couple of times in the last 
year and I noticed the price of used Audis were generally lower than 
Seattle. Everytime when I was down there I would pickup a copy of these 
car ad/newspaper at the gas station. There were usually a few late model 
100(92' or newer ones) for sale and most of them are quite a bit cheaper 
than in Seattle, I saw a couple last Feburary and they have low mileage
and around $15,000. Actually late model used German cars are generally 
cheaper in the Bay Area than in Seattle.
