RE:200 TQ Fair Price-- now CO driver profile



Geez DeWitt I may resemble your not so flattering Colorado Audi 
driver description but I do not resent it. 
 I love my 89 200TQ, I work on it regularlly but have given up 
on keeping all the little things working.  
Currently I have all these common  200TQ @130K ailments: 
	a quirky speedo, 
	left rear passenger window inoperable,
	pealing vinyl on doors,
	clouded wood,
	several instrument lights out,
	heater seat lights sometimes out/on,
	broken driver lock (but I have the kit to fix it now),
	ISV getting flakey,
	bad bomb,
	inoperable reading lights and recently
	inoperable windshield squirter (real bad situation in the upcoming CO
winter).
BUT, I have replaced:
	 all my rotors and pads,
	all the breather hoses except the Michelin man one,
	clutch, TO and needle bearing,
	regular air filter to a KN air filter,
	gone to synthetic oil,
	rear right  caliper,
	fuel pump relay,
	exhaust system cat back,
	the whole rear bumper/trunk area due to an idiot Saturn driver and
	windshield but in Colorado everybody has to do this yearly.

Do I have a killer German sports sedan, well not exactly, but it
is a hell of a ride that suits Colorado weather perfectly.   My old 911
steals my discretionary funds for funstuff but my Audi gets me to work
everyday. I am guilty as charged, I am trying to drive an Audi on 
VW budget.
