A Quattro with 252Km

[Leah Mueller <muellerl@cadvision.com>]

Dear Quattroknights,

As I attempt to sell a 1982 Jetta with a transplanted 84 Turbo Diesel motor,
I also continue to scour the adds for a relatively close Quattro that I
might afford to buy.  I found an 86 5000tq with 252,000 kilometres. It is
about 1000km away from me and so far I am only going on the verbal
desciption. Owned by this person 1.5 years.  Serviced by Euro mechanic.
Power mirrors and one window not working. Sunroof replaced and repaired.  A
slow pentosin leak ( half a litre in two months)? Is that still acceptable?
Is this car getting to point that around $3500.00 dollars is reasonable?
How many kilomtres ( miles) can these motors, turbo, tranny and differential
go?  What about the rest of the quattro drive train? Are there some things
that would need fixing at this point in its life?

Thanks for your help,

David dreaming of a Quattro
