1990 Audi coupe quattro - $2900 (Aylmer (Gatineau)) posted:


Date: 2011-05-04, 7:56PM EDT

All original, unmodified, but well maintained B3 coupe. Owned for five years (driven 36,000km with 304,000 current mileage), over 10k in maintenance, runs very, very well. No mechanical issues with major systems. Things like cruise, a/c and other small items not working. Power roof is fine, electiric windows fine. 5-spd trans is perfectly fine. Cloth interior. Car feels very tight, no squeaks. 20valve 5-cyl engine sounds great. Stainless exhaust. Galvanized body holding up well for a 21 year old car. Lago blue paint looks 90% from 30 feet, but pretty tired up close. 17-inch TSW rims with Yokohama S-lines and original rims with Toyo observe GO-02 snows included. Overall a solid, reliable car that is fantastic in snow with quattro and loves to run on the highway at any speed. One of less than 350 sold in Canada in 1990-91. No history before 2006, but was purchased from an Audi technician (yes, Todd's car) and he told me it was originally from Toronto. No offers less than $2,000.

An El Camino that appears decent in every other way except that it has CAPTAIN CRUNCH PAINTED ALL THE gently caress OVER IT so, $1950? Its been up there forever.


By the way, :cheers: for the imgur plug-in tip. I'm in Firefox. It is the bee's pajamas.

Assuming the car is in good shape i think that is a great deal even if you havee to dump $5000 into it to paint over captain crunch. Those drat cars are so expensive here, the few examples that are on craigslist and autotrader are over 10k here and that isn't even for a perfect specimin.

edit: it may not be a great deal the cars here may just be exceptionally overpriced.

Is it only in certain states that you can drive a salvage title? I'm pretty sure once a car is totaled out it can't be registered and driven in Ontario (i'm pretty sure)

In Ontario, a car with a salvage title cannot be driven or registered. You have to repair it, get it inspected, and then it's given a Rebuilt title.
