alright, so i just bought my first Audi.
its an 1988 Audi 5000 turbo quattro Olympic Edition Station Wagon
always driving fast civics and lifted jeeps but saw this deal and couldnt pass it up. dont know too much about it yet, but 5-speed manual transmission, with a full time all wheel drive system, and it also has lockable differentials for the front and the rear wheels. new clutch, the engine is from a 1991 audi 200 turbo, the alternator has 140 amperes and is from a BMW 735i. The ball joints, control arms and tie rod ends have been changed, along with the front and rear struts.

sounds like a nice car. very very odd looking though.
ill post some pics of it as soon as a drive it home.
but other than that. how are these cars? any issues i should know about? who else here has one?
very excited to start driving the car in the winter.

That's a great edition actually. My buddy used to have the same one but as a sedan. I can't help you with known issues at the moment though. There are Loads of threads around on these cars so I'm sure you'll have no shortage of reading to do if you're looking for known quirks. I'm sure you'll love the car, especially in winter. Welcome!

thanks, quick question, is there anywhere i can download a service manual for my car online? also what other parts from other audi's will work on my 5000?

Bentley sells one officially, both paper and digital (maybe just DVD-ROM). Otherwise I'd start digging on the net ... and this isn't the forum for that kind of thing

I've also found hard copies on Ebay for cheap sometimes. I got my A6 / Allroad Bentley Manual for $30 after shipping!
