Just seems to be a lot of ur Quattro's popping up on ebay.
Just wondering if it's down to people cashing in the the cars new lease of popularity from the ashes to ashes TV program??

Absolutely they are. Makes it impossible for me to achieve ownership of the only car id really love to have.
I had the coupe for 13 years and loved every minute of it.

I would love to own one and that's one of the reasons why I've got a couple of cars on eBay but if the prices are suddenly going up by 20% due to media hype (much in the same way the the splitscreen camper did for the VW scene) then when that fad dies down, then they're going to be going to back do to normal prices again.
I can see really mint examples fetching 5 figures at this rate (and not an RR quattro at that)

Not that you'd sell her though!

alot are neglected vehicles as well....
Shame as the hype is the initial hype... get a good motor and when the show finishes they will be worth alot more...

Red would seem to be the popular colour now.. Still prefer white

Two offers to buy mine in the last week, and a lot more pointing going on. Probably helps that its red and a bit throaty.
