m4rcus?

Thinking about getting a cheap daily driver. I don't know much about 4000's. How dependable do you guys think this 4000Q would be?

My 4k is great. Over 200k miles on orig drivetrain stuff and still is a blast to drive (suspension has been replaced).

The 5 cyl turbo is pretty darn reliable. I think this is the same engine as Hadley just put in his coupe.

You looking for a replacement of the A4 or addition?

If so, I'd skip it... Lotta money for something that old and not too rare.

That car will be a riot with a turbo swap, but you might be a little nervous about how well the swap was done. If you want a dead reliable car, get a regular 4K Quattro. If you want a fast fun car, get one with a turbo swap (like this one).

thinking about selling the Avant, using the money to pay off the Sedan, and getting into something cheaper for the next couple of years.

It looks like a nice car, but $5K seems to be too much.

I'm just throwing around some ideas. I'd much rather drive that than an old civic.

I haven't called, just doing a lookup.

BTW, do you remember how long ago you first saw it listed?
