I was confused when it said FWD Avant, then I read its from Mexico. Nice find. Looks like a clean car.

Nope, the car is not from Mexico. It was in San Diego 1.5 miles from the border.

I just un-screwed the big part of the antenna and left the little black nub. Much cleaner look. Didn't even affect my radio receptionz

Audi didn't produce any Avants that weren't Quattro for the U.S. market, so that car came from somewhere else lol.

Just checked the vin on CarFax, and it is originally from Hoehn Audi, and registered in La Jolla to the original owner. The car definitely is not a Quattro, I have been underneath it to verify.

I even have the original window sticker with the vin#, it shows the dealer that sold the car.
