[urq] Ur-quattro on ebay

This was on a car with 86,000miles.
I guess it all depends on how many times person gets in and out.
If the mileage reflects a lot of small trips than it would show wear.
If it's mostly highway with nice long trips than I guess it would not.

I have nice high res pic of the engine compartment and it has a very nasty
kink in it by the coil, I've seen a kink like that before on my '82 wreck
I picked up in Georgia.  Not a good sign.
Car looks clean, but there are gremlins hiding there I would not want tom
find out after purchase.  I can send pic to anyone interested.

Hope this helps.

Martin
