1982 Audi 200 5T (Type 43) Manual

randall977 · 04-08-08, 07:45 PM

This is a really good buy for someone. I would like it but now's not the time unfortunately. The owner did a full respray, waxoyl, engine rebuild several years ago but hasn't driven it for a few years. It was professionally converted to manual. It will need a new o/s sill (which is simple on this car), a few bits of rust repair and a basic tidy up. It should make a very good project and great finished car without too much trouble. He has loads of spares and would like it to go to a good home.

If you want more info I can put you in contact. The car will need to be transported from Falkirk.

did you sell the 5E as well?

Yes I sold the 5E. I still have the 5T - the guy is coming in two weeks to pick it up. So down to one Audi and it's not a classic. Not sure what Audi I will get next... but all I can say is that other things may have taken priority for a while.... and it probably wasn't a good idea to get a 3 door A3.

Not an ooops but a bit sooner than we thought - thanks though.

The 5T has 4 doors, the A3 doesn't, the 5T won't lose value, the A3 will, the 5T is cooler than a polar bears nads, the A3 isn't!

So, nope!

Ohhh is it a pearl?

btw, sorry in advance if that wasn't what you wanted to hear, but I personally think you'll live to regret it. Maybe it would be a different answer if you still had the 5E, but selling both would have to be the wrong decision.
No if you replaced it with something cool which could be used on a regular basis and still have plenty of change in your pocket to make way for your new arrival, then it may not be a bad idea (such as the 19k 1 owner Audi 80 CD) as it means you'll still have an uber cool Audi and it also can be used on a regular basis with the new family and still remains practical. the boot space on the 80CD is superb so plenty of room for a pushchair, nappies etc etc.
