Default Audi Quattro UR

Can anyone give some advice on this one (ie what to look out for)?

It's a 2.x ltr 20v turbo jobbie, white, 142k circa 89/90, digital dash, those flared wheel arches, all boggo bar a scorpion exhaust. Looked this morning, what a minter, the dogs dangles and as the chap really needs to shift it, will accept 4.5 opposed to the nr 6k original. ins comp 600.

Always been a dream Audi to want to own, got the other , need another.

4.5k is cheap for a URQ... very very cheap really. Isn't it said that URQs got their name from the sound people make as their wallets are emptied at the garage?

Lovely cars though. 89/90 should be an RR 2.2/20v job, or a 10v MB engine. RR 20v cars are rare - if that's one, it's either a bargain or a wrong'un.

A genuine 20v RR is worth 10k+ I reckon. Inspection maybe?

Hello

If your seriously thinking about it then go onto this site http://www.quattroforum.com/forum/ and look for a chap called Phil Payne. What he dpesn't know about quattros isn't worth knowing. If he's local to you/the car he'll do an inspection, if not he may be able to advise of a local specialist to check it out for you. His site is here. http://www.isham-research.co.uk/quattro/

If it's a 20v at that price it sounds too good to be true. You'd struggle to get a good 10v car for that price and the 20v cars are a LOT more expensive to run.

Good luck though.

Cheers

Brian

P.S. if you want a project you could always buy my 1984 10v car and restore it... http://www.quattroforum.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=12371

Echo the above. I've met Phil in the past, and that was a good few years ago, and he knew **** loads then. He appeared to be pulling apart the fueling system on the MB's at the time, but has since moved onto all the models.

Whatever you do, don't buy one without somebody checking it over. That somebody needs to be a specialist, not the AA or RAC either
