Up for sale is my 1990 Coupe Quattro. I purchased this car in September of 2009. Since then, I have added 6,134 miles to the odometer and have maintained it well. However, it will need quite a bit of time and patience in the future. Because the car lived in the North Shore before I purchased it, many of the lines, bushings, and mountings will have to be replaced underneath. It also has other relatively minor (in comparison) issues which will need to be addressed in order to restore it properly. That said, it does run well, feels terrific to drive, and is currently registered (I just drove it to western Connecticut and back recently). I have just purchased a 2000 A4 2.8 (which is already eating my bank account), and I don't have the space or funds to keep two cars only for myself. The car has Bilstein shocks (an upgrade by the previous owner) and handles beautifully. I was never able to reach its limits. It also has an 034 injector upgrade, 034 solid front subframe mounts, and a new sachs clutch by Shine racing (all of this information provided by the previous owner). By the way, it does come with an extra set of identical factory wheels, with mounted snow tires. The car is amazing in the snow. I once drove through a blizzard in this car. It was fun. Note that the red wire in the foot well is just leftover junk from my stereo installation (I should have removed it before taking the pictures). The object on top of the ashtray is the microphone for the bluetooth phone function. The new Blaupunkt stereo will come with the car. I still have the one was in the car before, but the CD player never worked, for me. I really like the fact that this stereo has a Bluetooth connection, which works perfectly. It also has USB and auxiliary connections. The climate control will require troubleshooting. The heat works (too well), but it does not regulate properly in order for the A/C to work. Otherwise, I have no reason to believe (based upon the previous owner's understanding) that the A/C will not work. The car has a new timing belt and the associated belts, pulleys, and waterpump (I purchased the Blauparts kit and did this myself). I do have a valve cover gasket, intake gasket, and a brand new set of Bosch Silver plugs. I never got around to doing that project (and the valve cover gasket isn't leaking so badly that I was terribly worried about it), but the parts will come with the car. Cleaning up the areas next to the wheel wells is my unfinished project, which I will likely pass on to the new owner. Rust in this particular spot had created a hole, and I lost the trim piece because of it. It became obvious to me that I needed (for the health of the body) to remove the rust and patch up the hole. I did not use any Bondo. Underneath the primer is an aluminum plate which I shaped to fit the contour. Before affixing this plate, I sprayed the entire area liberally with rust-inhibiting paint. It may need a bit more primer and sanding before it is ready to be painted. It looks rough now, but I believe that it will look great when complete. I just paid over $100 for the spray cans of paint (there is a base and a clear coat bottle) and a replacement trim piece. Both of these items will, of course, come with the car. Or the new owner may decide to go to a body shop, instead. Maaco did a really beautiful job replacing the hood (which was rusted and missing the latch when I bought the car), and painted some or both of the fenders to match properly (I gave them the paint code). The new (used) hood was rust-free when it arrived (I inspected it before they started the work), and they stripped it completely and painted it. The car has RS2 headlights (a big upgrade over the stock ones), which were installed by the previous owner. This is the reason for the gap between the grill and headlights. I had planned on filling the gap with some wire mesh. I also should mention that the car just had a full brake job (pads and rotors), and that one front caliper was also replaced (it was sticking). I had the speedometer sensor replaced (the mileage wasn't affected, since it actually cut out when I was 100 feet from the shop). I replaced all three bulbs in the auxiliary gauges, myself. I am not aware of anything on the car which would not pass Mass. inspection currently. Unless you live really far away, I recommend driving it home (although the Universe is unpredictable and I make no guarantees). I hope to sell this to the right owner, who has the time and patience to restore the car. Please know that much time and patience will be required. The car is sold as is, with no warranty. Please be ready to come pick the car up soon. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
