100q, salvage title - questions

["James Slusser" <sluss@worldnet.att.net>]

Hello list!  I'm currently sorting thru the pros and cons of a '91 100q (as in 10V, no T, and even slower than our 80q).  It is sitting at a dealer who is allowing the private seller to park it there.  In the info gathering stage, I found that CARFAX shows it's an R-title, with about 1.5 yrs unaccounted for on the odo (then subtract 300 miles for good measure).  The car was hit on the front, with the replacement of both fenders, grill/lights, etc.  I haven't checked for the airbag light to be present - yet.  Repairs are externally fair and not pretty underhood.

 

Problem is that I still may be interested IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT.  Assuming that everything is in proper working order - airbag, A/C, oil cooler, lights, etc;

**is there a certain percentage in price that the R-title and odo error will drop it? **

I've visually checked out the car and driven it, with a few fixable (probably) exceptions.  Interior is in excellent cond, and it runs very well.

 

What else do I need on my checklist other than normal used audi stuff?

- look for "airbag" light at startup

- take to dealer for airbag system check?

- have car alligned by 3rd party w/printouts

- does this model have the "bomb"?  I think I have some saved archives for the testing

- ??????

 

Please reply directly, as I can't currently keep up with the list.

TIA!
