Re: 4kq: what year?

Andrew Buc decided to speak these words:

>Is a late ('85-'87) 4kq any more (or less) desirable than an earlier one?


It depends alot on whatyou are looking for.  From what i know, the 
earlier ones have stiffer stock springs, i keep hearing that it has 
shorter gearing, but i dont htink so.  Also, the interior is MUCH nicer 
in the later models, and if you go with an 87, you get updated suspension 
geometry (i think,  i know a different front sway bar), and abs is 
available. One last thing is that there arent power windows for the rear, 
only the front.  Finally, the quattro system is different.  the 84 has 
the old push/pull knob and the newer one has the dial knob thingie wiht 
LED oil temp and voltmeter, which IMO looks pretty cool..

Also, there are interior colors other than the brown..but i cant 
complain, my interior is brown..hehe...

other than what i just said, they are just about exactly the same.

later...
