What sort of 'quattro'?

A 1987 ur-quattro turbo (WR engine) is for sale in the UK at GBP8750 -
that's about $14,000.   At the very end of 1987 the MB engine became
available - around GBP10,000 for a good early one.

A Coupe quattro (no turbo) costs about a third of that.  Other Audi
quattros (such as 200TQs) are generally much cheaper - as low as $3000.

Beware of its condition - parts are _VERY_ expensive.  I have seen very
old ur-quattros (1981) sold at GBP1500 ($2400) because they needed
$8000 in parts and labour costs.
