Not a Quattro but...

[Leah Mueller <muellerl@cadvision.com>]

Dear Listers,

The car is not a Quattro but seems to good to pass up as an excellent family
car. Original owner with all the service records is offering an 86 5000s
with five speed for sale.  There are no leaks.  The two things that concern
me is the obvious check brake pad light and an original radio with no power.
The radio is apparently in need of an inner fuse.  The brakes were last done
in 91.  Would a good brake job normally fix the problem indicated by the
light?  Is the inner fuse a costly deal to fix? We are very close to buying
this car, but I need a some of your experience in these two areas. Thanks.
