The Bald Ass Prairie Farm

Thanks

I have a 87 Audi 5000 CD Quatro, but unfortunately it is a piece of, well
lets say the work on it would take forever if I could find the parts. I
found a 87 Audi 5000 CD for sale, phoned to ask if it was a all wheel drive
and the sales person did not know, some one had told me the CD stood for the
4 wheel or all wheel drive. I do lots of driving in weather that is usually
not the best for road conditions, and sometimes not the best of roads to get
to where I work. Hubby would like to see me in an Audi, and truthfully after
driving the one I have (before I had to park it) I loved driving it, but I
certainly need the 4 wheel or all wheel drive feature.

Thanks for your time appreciate it.

Karen

Karen,
If you ever need parts - and I assume you're in Canada (even if you
aren't) - contact Kristian at VMAutohaus in BC www.vmautohaus.com
You can also find some used stuff from www.car-part.com - wrecking shops are
becoming more adept at sending parts by mail (that's how I got the set of
15x7 Fuchs weels for my car)
The best thing I find about this car is the amount of help you can get -
there are tons of online sources, the car's fairly common in the junkyards -
believe it or not, they're still making the Type 44 body style in China.
Once you get a hand on the maintenance, undoing all the wrongs that past
owners have done through neglect, you have an excellent 4 wheel drive sports
car. The bodies need minimal attention - just maybe the fenders (and
they're still available in both steel and fiberglass) and the manual
transmissions keep going and going....
If you ever need a hand, look no farther than here, Audifans or Audiworld.
We've all spent loads of $ on fixing things, but it's a miniscule fraction
compared to the cost of leasing a comparable new one (~ S4, at bare minimum)
Cheers!
