Re: 1986 Audi 4000 CS Quattro For Sale

Bill,
You've been very upfront in your cars assesment, and having had the car 
for 2 years I probaby won't be telling you too much you don't already 
know/fear ;^).
What you have is a nice, probably, daily driver that needs a "little" 
more work to be over the maintenance hump for the next year+.  Of course 
getting to that point is maddening and fiscaly draining for most.  
Unfortunately, what you have to the rest of the world is probaby a 
running parts car.  You probaby know Ned Bennett in Hyannis, he can give 
you a real word value.  I woud say it is closer to your original 
misprint that $1,000 with another $1,000 whack waiting in the wings.  
(indeed with your parts list you could probably get more money back by 
parting it out individually)
For comparison, in todays world, $3,000, or less, will get you a 1986/87 
5000TQ with much less than 200K miles, sport interior, with all of your 
stated repairs done + more and needing virtually no current work, with a 
much larger performance envelope and luxury appointments to boot.
Good luck, I suspect you will see some other POVs soon.
Mike
