[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] some questions
Greetings I am new to the Quattro list and although I have admired Quattros for a long time I have not yet owned one (still in graduate school...). I recently looked at a 1987 4000 Quattro which I am considering purchasing and would welcome any advice or suggestions. The car has 98,000 miles and unfortunately the dealer selling it (not an Audi dealer) has no service records. I have heard stories of this model being very durable but would a car with this mileage and no history be an unreasonable risk? Having looked the car over carefully it seems to have been very well taken care of, has no rust or any visible wear or abuse. A few things under the hood (brake master-cylinder, hoses, FI lines, some wires) look too clean and new to be original but that is just guessing on my part. Does anyone know of any particular things I could check on the car for signs of repair/replacement or not? When I drove the car one thing I noticed was that the clutch pedal required a lot of effort; is this normal for this car or might it indicate something about the state of the clutch? Thanks for your advice and suggestions, and I look forward to participating in the Quattro list. -- Matthew A. Cenzer Department of History Northwestern University mcenzer@nwu.edu
