Audi V8 Quattro

[Eye of the Tiger]

Well, if you had anything resembling grey matter in that dome of yours you'd buy this instead: Quattro Coupe

I have plenty of grey matter... it's the green  matter that I'm experiencing a particular shortage of.

[TheIntrepid]

Too late! I bought the V8. Sorry, Mr. Car.

No. You THOUGHT you did but bought a 1988 Cressida instead.

HOLY SHIT!!!!! AN ORIGINAL urquattro!?!?!?!?!?!? DAMN.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Only YOU, Trep, would confuse a Cressida with an Audi V8

But, I did  eat the basils

Nooooooooooo! 

If the Pirate is right and they're looking for a cool G-note for the car, then go for it!  Even if your repairs run a few grand, you'll have a rare top of the line luxury car who's current version runs for $100k new.  Even buying a crappy new car will cost you $300 per month in payments.  Budget a couple grand a year for maintenance, and you'll have a stylin' ride for the cost of a...dare I say it....new Esteem.

HOLY CRAP THAT QUATTRO COUPE IS BEAUTIFUL.

My thoughts, exactly. The car is worth it, even if it requires $2000 a year in maintenance and repairs.

I'm in lust! My first Audi was a 1986 Coupe GT that looked just like that - but no fender bulges or quattro.  I loved that car.  This ur quattro is incredible!

[S204STi]

I don't think it's an Ur, is it?  It looks more like a USDM Quattro with a lot of Euro conversion going on, though it' also chipped so it might make about as much power as an Ur...

It sure as hell looks like a real urquattro.

don't forget the money you'll make back if you find someone to buy the st33m and/or the sc0rt

[Eye of the Tiger]

Before you do that, record a vid of the exhaust note.

The work has been done for me:

not much

To check if the clicking is indeed CV joints, it should get worse when you are turning and on the gas than any time else. It's a common problem on many different kinds of cars, and nothing else really clicks when it starts to fail.

That's the spitting image of one.  I'm guessing it's real, especially with the love and care shown in keeping it up.  Besides, the interior is definitely the stock Audi GT of the day - that's a hugely upgraded interior compared to my old ride.

Clicking is worse when turning. Under acceleration, it turns into more of a groaning than a clicking.

And see how long it takes to get to 100kph. Acceleration starts around 8-seconds, and reaches 100 around 17. What do you know? That's about 9-seconds!

I got 7.73.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I got 7.73.

I keep getting 9.

I keep getting 9.

I got 7.84 once, 7.80 once, 7.92 once, and 7.73 finally.

Are you starting when the speedometer starts moving? It doesn't budge until 15mph.

No. I start when the tach first moves.

[Eye of the Tiger]

No. I start when the tach first moves.

Whatever. Fine, the car is faster

That sounds exactly like what my car did when the CV axles were on their last legs.

You're gonna have SO much fun with the car in the winter.

[The Pirate]

Yeah, I think I need to find something cheap and AWD too.
