90q20v FS cheap!

["Erik Addy" <erik@aero.und.edu>]

This is being posted for a friend of my fiance.
Last fall she approached me because she liked my fiance's
4000q she wanted an Audi to replaced her POS '80s honda
that got wrecked.  Given her buget I started looking for
a 90q, and she ended up getting a '91 90q 20v.
She purchased it from list member John Bauer, who purchased
it from a qclub member who's wife had been driving it.
Both John and the PO had the car maintained by Anderson
Motorsport (best shop in MN).  She moved to AZ, and I told
her to let me know where she was moving so I could ask the
q-list to recomend a decent shop.  Well, she didn't, and
took the car to the dealer when it stopped runing one day.
About $900 later she came out with a new cat converter,
fuel filter, and some ignition parts (coil?), what a rip.
A few weeks later the brake light came on (which I told her 
would happen as the bomb was going south when she bought it).
Again she went to the dealer who told her she needed a new 
bomb now (true), and the rack "would need to be replaced sometime
in the future" (_possibly_ true), and the total cost would be 
$2500 (outrageous, we are talking $500 in parts for us q-listers).
Anyway, against my recomendation, she wants to dump the car.

It is black on grey (or was it tan?) leather, 1991 with somewhere
around 168M.  Manual seats, manual climate control, 14" BBS-style
wheels, cold weather package.  One of the PO's is a high-end stereo
distributor, and installed a Eclipse CD head unit, a tube-type sub 
in the trunk, and a poweramp.  I don't know what brand poweramp or 
speekers were used.  Car has been _very_ well maintained and had a new
clutch and radiatior fan (by And. Msport) shortly before she bought
it.  Redline in the tranny, blah blah, blah.  
Also has had several, if not all, of the fuel injectors replaced.
Basicly, it is a very nice car, all records (good), that just needs
a new bomb (and _possibly_ a rack, I wouldn't do that until I've
replaced the bomb and see if it really is leeking at any significant
rate). 

She wants $5500, which is over a grand less than she paid 9mo
ago before at least one new injector and the new cat/ignition stuff.
I'd take it, but 90's with sunroofs don't have enough headroom for me.
Car is in Scottsdale, AZ, and she can be emailed at JGNiemiec@aol.com
or called at home 480.946.8326 (her name is Jessica).  Don't try to 
lowball her or I'll go buy it and sell it myself!
