Audi 90 quattro 20v 54k miles......
Looks like a genuine low miler...:D
|
I like that for obvious reasons

Very nice that. However passionate the seller obviously is, I can't see he stands much chance of getting his price? Nice 205 he has too.
Will watch this with interest. Its done about a quarter of the mileage of mine, maybe HOL is worth a quarter as much!! :lol: |
Interesting ? did the earlier 90 quattros have 'audi 90' on the dash rather than 'quattro' badging, mine is august 91 and it has quattro script on the dash insert. So is that the original dash ? and why did someone put the aftermarket ultrasonic sensors in the dash although they do look like a good fit.
Obviously been tidied up for sale judging by their website and the MOT fail 5 days before the pass in May makes you wonder what they paid for it and have done to it to get it ready for sale since the MOT pass, shame they did not source new door bottom rubbers. It is nice to see one with perfect door card cloth unlike mine, just a shame its not got the sport seats although it has the extra gauges and rear electric windows, mine had the non sports seats no centre gauges but it had electric windows all round (since resolved with sports seats/gauges and electric sunroof retro fitted). |
HOL had a 'quattro' dash badge, registered December '89. Must admit i noticed the sensors, never a fan of those wherever they are placed, wonder what after market alarm spaghetti there will be behind the dash, original or not!

Looks very nice to me.
I would describe the price as "testing the market" perhaps. |
Pretty sure this same car was on carandclassic for £7k a few months back.
My car has the sensors in the dash at the sides - there was a dealer fit alarm at some point. |
"The 20V engine was paired only with all-wheel drive, sports suspension and a five-speed
manual transmission, confirming this as the driver’s car of the 80/90 lineup.":shake: |

Nice car nonetheless, although would be better with properly refurbished wheels and new lower door mouldings. Why the sunglasses on the dash?.....great pics but why are they there?! |

A nice example, condition/mileage/history wise.
Spec wise, it is the usual poverty spec like my old white one was. Non leather wheel/gear knob/gaiter is/was particularly offensive on what was a top of the range model. As are the non sport style front seats. All easily upgraded. I always thought the 20V should have been Sport spec as standard. Audi missed a trick, there. The poverty spec of the 1990/91 standard Audi 90 models was disappointing having replaced an '87 2.2E for a '90 q20V with far worse spec. When I finally bought the black '91 90 q20V Sport pretty much fully specced, it was like a different car to the basic white one. In my opinion, the price of £9k is a bit steep, no, vertical, even in today's climate. The price of £18500 in April '91 at 12k miles was very, very high against it's new price. To put things in perspective, my friend's father paid £13500 for his fully loaded ex Press Car 10v Sport (F871 WNH) in April '90 at bang on 8k miles. Bearing in mind the prices were reduced on the '90 Model Year 90s, so the 20Vs were virtually the same price as the earlier 10vs from late '88/early '89. The dash badge should be quattro, not Audi 90. Very nice, for what it is, though. I like it. :tup: |
It’s top notch Cortina money that.
It’s nothing to do with their quality as cars but all to do with them being icons of the times, in the U.K. the Cortina and a lot of other relics of those days are, our Audi’s, outwith the UR Quattro just isn’t, sadly. I’d be delighted if he got what he was asking however I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he does and I’m happy to be wrong :) |
On the other hand those of us who know what it is would quite happily pay that price (OK maybe not quite that price) for a 90 quattro 20valve, whereas I wouldn't even pay £900 for a Cortina, in any condition. I suppose a Sierra 4x4 of some sort is more fair comparison era-wise, but I expect those are worth silly money too. Followed one home last night, can't remember the last time I saw one before that.

These cars a trip down memory lane for most folk involving a 'I used to have one of those' or 'My Dad etc had one of those'. That means the popular mass market cars of the day, which are icons of the time, are the ones that have the value (especially if they've been shoddily made and are getting rare). A clean Xr4x4 is getting rare/expensive as well, the Cortina was just an example, I'm not saying it's a better car etc etc. :D |
No I appreciate that. Values have no basis in logic. Which is good for us, really.
|
I'd argue otherwise, as logically the 90 should be worth a lot more as it's a much higher quality car, unless you are looking to buy in which case, yes it's a good thing
:) |
I agree completely. If 'our' car's value were based on their quality I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have an MB in the shed.

My own august 91 90 20v quattro had the plastic steering wheel, manual sunroof, non sports seats no central gauges, no spoiler but it had leather gear lever knob/gaitor, electric windows all round, aeriel in rear heated screen. Dads 89 10v 90 quattro had leather wheel, electric windows all round, sports seats and rear spoiler but 14 inch wheels and the smaller brakes as standard. Much easier back in the 90's to upgrade seats,spoiler,sunroof, steering wheel when there were lots of trashed cars in breakers. :tup: |

Even 2001/2002 when I got my first they were ten-a-penny, (good times!) many of them with sub 100,000 miles on the clock. Criminal really, a lot of those cars could realistically still be around given the build quality! Quote:
Comical how some proper shite is apparently ‘worth’ a bucket because of that nostalgia factor... even though the B3 90 was a quality car, a bit of a looker, and is now comparatively scarce still hasn’t tipped the balance for the them. But, no matter to me, will keep mine as long as it keeps going because I like it, it was never meant as an investment.:nonod: |
Nice looking motor but I think a few more pics would be good :ihih::ihih::ihih: :lol::lol::lol:
|
Good looking 90, dealer use to sell Porsche's if a remember correctly, im hearing a few interested things about the seller :grr:. Might be worth having a google and doing some homework before handing over your bitcoins!
|
He’s claiming to me that he’s taken a deposit and it’s sold!
:) |

Feck!! from £2.5k to £6k to £9k in 20 months :eek: |

If that is true and he has got his asking price I will eat my hat! |

Well if my recent experience with the underhanded double-dealer is anything to go by, anything is possible!! :grr: I found it quite interesting that his correspondence was all late night/early hours of the morning. A drink problem perhaps? :ihih: |

Somebody’s keen for an old Audi, always good news
:) |
It is sold and I know the buyer he's a regular attendee at our Noggin n Natters.
|
Good for him.
Hopefully he’ll join the crowd here :) |
The buyer hasn't paid the asking price though, surely?!! :crazy:
|
All the negative blarney! :lol::lol::lol::lol:
Whoever bought it sure appreciates a decent car when they see one. :tup: |
Unbelievable these people are first grade tossers. They've taken the piss out of Carl selling his 16 Valve B4 and now after agreeing a deal on this with a good friend of mine taking his Cabby in part exchange plus a goodly amount of cash. He has paid a deposit and spent all weekend getting the Cabby ready for MOT today, ordered new door trims from Germany and insured it to pick up on Thursday he gets an email yesterday afternoon informing him they have decided to keep it for their collection :wall:
|
What a shower of dickheads..........
|
Disgraceful :nonod:
|
Been thinking as to why this may be. I'm in a cynical mood.
1) they think it might go for more if they keep hold of it a bit longer, 2) someone has actually offered them more and they have gazumped Dave's friend, 3) something is up with it and they are worried if they sell it at that price it may bite them on the arse. :hmmm: |
