Re: Need basic info on '90 V8 Q

[Peter Sward <sward@zk3.dec.com>]

    Todd,

    for pricing go to
    http://www.edmunds.com/edweb/used/Audi/1990/AudiV819904081.html#price
    or use kelly's blue book. If you are really lucky this is an manual and as
such quite
    rare.

    You have to get the timing belt changed at 60K or yesterday since the belt
is 8
    years old and that will probably run you $600+ but that should be all.
