Well I just got done looking at it. Just one word to say, WOW! (not a good one).

Just some details about it:

1989 Audio 90 Quattro
Zermatt Silver w/ Graphite Leather
2.3L I5 w/ 5-Speed Manual
Rear OEM Spoiler

Now the issues, best described as the NEED list:

-Looks like the car rear ended someone else, so new bumper, lights, turn signals, bumper, paint, and headlight washers
-Need ALL new suspension, ALL of the suspension components needed to be replaced
-New Tires, they were bald
-ALL new COMPLETE exhaust system
-Front right fender was a cheap fix, not OEM and not painted
-Doors wouldn't open without force
-Not of the door latches locked properly
-Lots of trim was missing
-Needed new front seats
-Needed new carpet, current carpet was disgusting
-Probably needed a new engine, the engine switch was missing so I really couldn't tell you
-Lots-o-wires hanging under dash
-Shifted pretty decently for its horrible condition (still would want to replace the tranny)
-The driver seat was just THERE. It was not on track and would not stay in place. It was like driving in a rocking chair.
-Everytime you would shift the seat would go back further...

The person selling it was out of high school or first year at college (guessing high school)

There is no way it would have passed SAFETY or EMISSIONS.

Seriously was worth no more than $100 and even that is a good deal. Offered to take it off of his hands, then $100. Wasn't too interested, then again his opening phrase after I told him to tell me about it was "It is a piecer". Not to sure if it even has a clean title.

Just an FYI for the forum.

I only got to go to one junkyard which had a few s6's and had a nice b4 avant that i wanted the tail lights off of and the steering wheel(3 spoke sport) sadly it was raining which of course means they are not willing to work. I offered to pull it off myself and they wouldn't let me... Lazy italians... Sadly I it rained most of the trip and I couldn't get back to the place...

All doors, all power locks, engine started first time every time, tranny was smooth and solid, no rust on it, clean. I had replaced the heater core, and recently timing belt water pump, fresh recharge of the AC, new control arms up front, new fuel filter, pump an d accumulator, ect...

I sold it cheap because it was hit in a parking lot and the dumbass who hit it left a dent from the drivers door to the rear tail light...

that car had zero problems other then the body and only had a few thousand left on the tires.

Technically speaking it is mine... And from the sound of it he hasn't transfered ownership in his name so the title is probably still in my name. I wish he had just sold it to you for 100 bucks.

Need a partner in crime? I drive, you unscrew the plates... LOL!

Yeah...the $100 bucks would have been a steal. I would have taken care of it properly...

Do you know of anything about the passenger's side panel being replaced and horribly repainted...

What do you have now?

I'd even show them the parking ticket as proof and reason why.

You're probably right... I just don't want them causing a fuss and blaming crap on me.
