RE: '85 4000SQ FMV

HI Harry,
Unfortunately I don't thin you will be able to sell for what you have
inverted.  For the average car buyer at 191k a car is used up.  I don't
think that includes anyone on the list.  Then we are not your average car
buyer's.  I would price it around  $2500, see if you get any takers. 
Unless you want to sell it quick then maybe $1700?  Where are you located? 
In Vermont there seems to be a lot of 4kq's.  I think the high school kids
have taken a liking to them.  So it may be worth a little more $$.  I
dunno.   My 4kq just turned 200k and sprung a gas leak.  It's parked for
now.  While I decide what to do.  Invest more $$$.  Something tells me this
is not going to be a cheap problem to fix.  Then again it is time for a
fuel filter change.
 
Best Regards,
John

Thanks to everyone who responded to my 4000 vacuum pump rod question-the
problem has been solved.

Now, I'm thinking about selling the car to make room for my next quattro
(either a 90CSQ or maybe a 1.8T A4Q).  I already have a potential buyer
lined-up and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on a fair value.

The specs are as follows:

1985 4000S quattro

191,000 miles
Red on Grey cloth interior.

The paint/body is in good condition (no dents/dings).
Recent complete service
Lifters, water pump and timing belt replaced recently
New tires
4 Lloyds floor mats
Sony CD player

Thanks,

Harry
