Phil,

I have never heard of a "back-up" sonar sensor on an audi.  however, If 
it looks like a little black dome upside down from the ceiling, it 
could be part of an infrared remote locking system.  Jeep used a similar 
system for years in cherokees and pre-96 G. Cherokees.

Hmmmmmm, he must have bought a new 45-foot yacht and is trying to make 
the payments.  <grin>  I'll bet he'll settle for around $13,500.  A VERY 
fair price for that car.

Last Jan, a pearl white '91 went for $8500--great shape.
it had 80k on it, but still!!!!!!  $9000 is a lot for 50k miles.

Keep Looking!
