andrew e Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Last year I spent Trigger's asking price on a service, cambelts & MOT.... ....on a bloody Audi! trigger, Lacquer Peel and Cavcraft 3
trigger Posted May 29, 2016 Author Posted May 29, 2016 I've got it on ebay now. My best offer so far is £400.... Oh and IZ IT 4X4 M8? too...
Pillock Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Just buy a set of Quattro badges, anyone thick enough not to be able to work it out from the photos and description will never find out. forddeliveryboy, Inspector Morose, Dick Cheeseburger and 3 others 6
forddeliveryboy Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 And tell them you've got the version which uses quattro braking, but Audi's amazing DuplexTM power for an OMG amazing 45mpg even at speeds illegal. trigger 1
oldcars Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 I've got it on ebay now. My best offer so far is £400.... Oh and IZ IT 4X4 M8? too...Just say yes, but like a Freelander you have removed the prop-shaft and VCU but its made it better for drifting Dick Cheeseburger 1
trigger Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 The thing is the Quattro is heavier, slower and has a lot more to go wrong so why would you want it anyway? oldcars 1
oldcars Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Cannot believe some clown offered £400 for it. Good luck with the sale, i don't know how you deal with ebay/gumtree folk i can't do it anymore. They broke me.
cort16 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Is it an Audi Cointreau M8? michael1703 and Dick Cheeseburger 2
Pillock Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 The thing is the Quattro is heavier, slower and has a lot more to go wrong so why would you want it anyway?Because you can corner so fast your eyeballs pop out. I've not had a huge amount of experience with 4x4 saloons so I don't know if it's any better than a Sierra, Cavalier etc but when I had my 20v Quattro, I just gave up slowing for corners. It was massively quick around town, because very hoonable.
billyboy406v6 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Have you tried it on Audi forum, they would appreciate it over there ?
cort16 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 I've had one Audi Cointreau, which was 4.2 Audi A8. It was mega impressive although it had 300+bhp to drive all the wheels.
trigger Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Have you tried it on Audi forum, they would appreciate it over there ?Yes I've had it on there, I've been told not to sell it for less than £850 but no one seems willing to give me that for it! Still the lad from the Orkneys has messaged me to say he will have it if he can collect it on the 12th. I've said thats fine as long as i can have a nonrefundable deposit. We'll see what happens... billyboy406v6 1
andrew e Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Trigger, drifting topic but have you found a good Audi forum?
worldofceri Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 It's a pity I never have any money 'cause I'd basically just buy all Trigger's old rammle long before it gets to the handbags at dawn stage. oldcars, trigger and BorniteIdentity 3
garbaldy Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 All one make forum's are the same, they want their cars to rise in value so tell everyone they are selling to cheap, none of them will ever buy at the higher price themselves though, Jim Bell and trigger 2
r.welfare Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Most forum members have a car so don't want or need another. I found Club Audi a decent lot but this was in the days (2001) before forums.
trigger Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Trigger, drifting topic but have you found a good Audi forum?I'm on the classic-audi forum who have been very helpful with accessing me with problems and parts for it, there's some knowledgeable folk on there who seem more than happy to point me in the right direction, towards the door!
trigger Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 I need the cash tbh! The lad from north north north Scotland is still interested and should be leaving me a deposit either today or tomorrow hopefully before collecting it on the 12th and driving it the 750 miles home! I'm not taking it off ebay until i have the deposit though. holbeck 1
Dick Cheeseburger Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 If the fella offering 300 notes is a 'Porsche Specialist', why not give him the option of px'ing a Porker? Cheeky twunt. trigger and oldcars 2
holbeck Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I'm amused by the gall of the chancers. You can't blame them mind you, everyone likes a bargain. Fingers crossed the Orkney lad comes through. BTW, that pinned up headlining, is it just the fabric covering that was loose? My 80 has a moulded headlining - because povvo spec! trigger 1
trigger Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 BTW, that pinned up headlining, is it just the fabric covering that was loose? My 80 has a moulded headlining - because povvo spec!Yes the foam is starting to rot so i've tried using the spray glue on it but it became unstuck again in the heat (what heat?) so rather than pissing about again it was easier just to buy some £4 pins of ebay!
Cavcraft Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 The offers are getting worse. I love that sort of thing because the next time that Porsche Specialist offers a 911 for £20,000 you can just mail him back and offer him £8,000 as clearly 40% of an asking price is fair game. holbeck, mrbenn, Lacquer Peel and 5 others 8
purplebargeken Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 This is another one of those 'I wish I had the money' cars. Good luck with the sale Trig, she looks bloody good for the year and miles. That headlining would bug me though. Done that in various Jags, a Rover and a Sierra (although much less droopy). The jag was like a tent had collapsed inside the car You may actually need an AX in your life!
plasticvandan Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Perfect example of a nice car that is only really appreciated by those without the money to buy it (us!) purplebargeken and trigger 2
trigger Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 SOLD! Just took a deposit of the lad in the Orkney island. I'm never going to maon about driving 2 hours to look at a car again! 720 miles according to Google and over 14 hours! Cavcraft, flat4alfa, mrbenn and 14 others 17
Brodders Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Glad this has ended well for you. Is he on here? I reckon that he will be welcomed with open arms if he starts with a 14 hour, live collection thread. trigger, Skizzer and Six-cylinder 3
