RE: Getting Cold Feet...?

Steve,
In May I purchased a 91 200q and every time I drive this car I find
myself grinning from ear to ear.  The car is an absolute blast.  The
$16k may be fair depending on miles also I'm sure the snow on the ground
doesn't help with selling price.  As for the front rotors if the car has
UFO's have the dealer fix it now and save yourself major $'s.  My car
has spent no time (oh I've done it now) in the shop since I had it other
than for oil changes and a wastegate frequency valve.  IMHO the dollar
to fun to practicality ratio is right on with this car.  HTH & good luck
