-- [ From: human * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- >because the body style is quite different from my 5000's. After some inquiries, I have a little more info: it IS an '83 5k, auto, runs? (whatever that means), and has vin WAUG B0438 DN0044395. The interior is leather, but the door panels are hurting. Looks like an attack on the window regs!! Well its a nice "old lady car" I test drove a coupla early 80's 5ks with automatics (is slushboxes easier to type - no) about 9 years (2 audis) ago and they couldn't get out of their own way. Sorry to slam them, but that was how they felt. Still, worth a try, nice feeling car if it doesn't seem to slow to get going. For your son? I'd say keep looking for a 4000. smaller, more fun, cheapr to fix unless its a quattro. How much is the one on the side of the road? Oughta be worth about a grand at most if nothing important is broken. BTW they do have the best sunroof. Comes further forward than all the other models (more vertical windsheild, rain-x works perfectly...) I have parts cars in that style. If it was a 5 speed I'd say get serious about it. Just my un-humble opinionated babble. -- Huw Powell HUMAN Speakers http://www.thebook.com/human-speakers
