Re: V8 5 Speed the best Quattro ever made

>I'm here to share with you a rare opportunity in life.
Oh wow.  I can go to sleep tonight knowing my problems are over! :)

>I am selling the most sought after Quattro of all. The V8 Quattro 5 Speed.
That's semi-true.  The V8 is certainly NOT one of the most sought Quattros.
The V8 5 speed is, but ONLY for people who are looking for a V8 in the
first place.  The 5 speed is the only V8 that doesn't seriously blow
cookies.  The automatics are virtually worthless.  Dealers can't GIVE them
away.  I saw one sit on a lot in Boston for 3-4 months.  Finally, the price
started dropping $1k every week until it finally dissapeared after hitting
a low of about $10k.

>The '91 V8 Quattro 5 speed is a very rare car and this one is Pearl White.
righty-o.  Not to mention the parts are fairly "rare"(translation:
expensive) as well!  That car is so kludged together that it shares next to
nothing with other models.

>It only has 81k miles. This car runs and sounds awesome.
Hmm.  Seems like fairly low milage.  Typical on a 1991 Audi is 100k
according to KBB.

Of course, I always evaluate a car on how it sounds!

>Price is $20.5k

<cough>  Try 15k to even get someone to show interest.  You're selling a
mid-vintage V8, not a 92/93.  $20k would get you a lousy-condition 92 S4,
not a 91 V8.  A 200q 20v is worth, with 60k miles, maybe $15k.

>Please feel free to e-mail me at AQUATTRO4U@aol.com
Gee, looks like someone has a dealership(A Quattro for you?  Corny.  AQ4U
would have been better.)

Considering the V8 is several hundred pounds heavier than a 200, and the
200 is easily boosted from 217(better hp/weight ratio stock) to 285 for
$500, kicking the V8's butt and having a better HP/weight ratio than many
sports coupes, I would say the 200q 20v is the best Quattro made for
_consumers_, not racing.  The RS2 wagon comes in close 2nd, its main
problem being the astronomical price and extremely low production build,
not to mention it's not really a true/whole audi(yhea, they built it, but
Porsche finished up the job, which is kinda weak on audi's part.  Seems
more like a marketing decision than anything else.)

91 200q 20v (my car will help Arun's 200q 20v beat up your V8.)
