RE: 90q20v FS cheap!

[Daniel Jones <captaudi@ma.ultranet.com>]

The 90/91 model year 90q 20V has the hydroboost brakes like the type 44 
cars, hence they also have the "bomb".  I changed many at the dealership.

No, the 80/90 models do not have a bomb (aka hydraulic accumulator)
like those on the 5000/100/200/S4/S6 cars.  Either the dealer was
lying, or she misunderstood.
