$3,000 – Halfmoon, NY:
“Up for sale is my 1993 Audi UrS4. I bought this car in Colorado this past summer, and drove it back to NY as part of my vacation. It had ~212,900 on it when I purchased it, and has ~222,300 on it now (going up, as I drive it daily). It lived in Colorado its whole life, and shows it underneath — as a lifelong NY resident, I did not believe cars could be this clean underneath! I have owned several Audis, and intended on keeping this one for a long time; however, life circumstances have changed, suggesting a more generically practical vehicle. Will consider trades for suitable daily drivers (Manuals only, wagons preferred, regular or diesel fuel vehicles only with excess of 25mpg highway).
The downsides: The clear coat on 90s Audis is known to peel, and this one is no exception. The PO garaged the car, and the clear coat had started peeling by the time I got back to NY; it’s had the dandruff ever since. There is also crazing on the trunk. This could be correct with some spray can clear potentially, and/or a vinyl wrap, which was my more advanced strategy beyond ignorance. The radio does not work, as the volume knob is seriously flaky (turns off randomly, if you can get it to turn on). The CD changer does work, if you decide to swap in a new stock head unit. Drivers heated seat doesn’t work. Happy to walk any potential buyers through what I think will need to be done in the future mechanically as well. Rear tail light has some cracking around the key hole, I have epoxied it to prevent further spreading.
