Default Should I get this?

As my b5 slowly falls apart, Im looking at another DD.

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1996703943.html

thoughts?
I mean its 800, so I bet if I can push start it (to make sure it runs) and wave 600 in front of them,they will go for it.


Audi 1990 Quattro 200 (Must sell) - $800 (Garland TX 75040)

This is a solid engineered luxury cruiser with only 112,000 miles on it. The car is sitting on the property of a house that is being moved out of and the car needs a new home. The starter is out on it and I don't want to take time to fix it, I just need it gone. Give me a call to come check it out or if you have questions

Good points:
Great body, pearly white paint.
Good Interior with shiny black leather seats and dark wood trim. Good Euro aroma.
CD player, detachable face.
Working sun roof.
Heated seats, front and back.
Mirror defrosters
Dark tint.
Comes with luggage rack.

Items that need attention are:
1. Electric idle sensor needs some adjustment
2. Suspension in the front is a little soft
3. Linkage in shifter is a little slack
4. Starter went out.

Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what a "Good Euro Aroma" is but I'm pretty sure that I don't want it.

something to do with low water pressure and the fact that perfume is a french word

As far as the rest of the car goes, it could go either way: might end up being an awesome deal with a little additonal investment. you could end up with a decent DD for cheap

OR

it is an Audi, so it will probably end up being a headache inducing money pit. <3

if you're poor, don't do it. if you have some spare change and want to play, go for it.

I don't think you should get that as a reliable daily driver but you should check this out. $135!

^^^That's hilarious. If i had the option and I had extra cash I'd go for it... But just know that you'll definitely have to do a lot of work to make it a reliable DD. So if you have the cash do it, if you don't move on.
