I have my concerns about the pseudo-price list included in the 1997 UK Audi 
quattro Owners Club magazine.  The editor is, IMO, out on a limb with his own 
car, which is a rescued insurance company write-off.  No way is a vehicle with 
"Total Payout" stamped in its papers worth GBP20000.

I've recently seen someone value a late 20V ur-quattro at GBP25000 ($40000) 
even though there is still one 'new' vehicle available at GBP40000.
