It’s pretty much a given that the moment I write “we haven’t seen one of these in a while”, a second appears nearly immediately. In the case of yesterday’s 5000CS quattro, these big Audis have become so rare to the market these days that it had been months since I saw a decent example for sale. Yet, like clockwork, here’s the second in two days – but with a slight twist. Few outside of the die-hard Audi fans will recall that there was a front wheel drive Audi turbo available from 1985 until 1990. Running the same power plant as yesterday’s quattro but without the all-wheel drive system, these 5000 Turbos were actually quite fun to drive on back roads, great cruisers on the highway and slightly quicker due to less weight. Despite that few chose the Turbo model as an option and it’s probably only remembered vaguely by 1980s movie fans as the car that Ferris Bueller’s dad drove.

2.2 liter Inline-5 Cylinder Engine!
Non Smoker Texas Car! No Rust!
Garage Kept! You won’t find one that’s nicer cosmetically!
Automatic Transmission!
Audi Enthusiasts, This one is for you!MECHANIC SPECIAL – NEEDS SOME LIGHT MECHANICAL
Before I get into the main description I want to point out that this car is probably the nicest looking all original 27 year old car I’ve ever seen. This car was completely garage kept. The car’s previous owner had to have been crazy for this car because you don’t see something that’s all original looking this nice. It just doesn’t happen but once in a blue moon. Having said that the car is 27 years old and appears to be all original. It runs great and accelerates smoothly. The car needs some routine maintenance in order for it to be as nice mechanically as it is cosmetically. The car is drivable but the front end isn’t tight. I’m sure some of the 27 year old rubber in the front suspension needs to be replaced. Nothing out of the ordinary for any car. The previous owner looks like they were going to replace the headliner, but didn’t complete the job. The headliner needs to be replaced. The power windows, sunroof, and radio do not work. From what I can tell by looking online these are controlled by a central relay under the dash that commonly goes out. That shouldn’t be a big deal. The heat works great, but unfortunately it’s too cold to check the a/c. I’m sure once you get in there you’ll find something else that needs attention just like any car, but get these repairs out of the way and have a see for yourself at the nice car you’ll have by then. I decided to make the car available without doing the repairs as it would likely cost me a whole lot more to pay a shop to do the work then it would for you to complete the repairs. It’s priced accordingly! I haven’t seen one of these in a very long time. Who knows how many are left! I can’t stress enough how nice this car is cosmetically!

Also like yesterday’s 5000, this appears to be a pretty good basis in need of some love. The sagging (now removed) headliner is the most glaring issue but there are plenty of other items that need attention. It’s clearly one of those cars that looks great from far, but when you get closer the issues start adding up. The odometer and tachometer aren’t working, the warning triangle in the center of the dash is – I’m pretty sure – the brake pressure accumulator having failed, the front trim is broken and missing, the car sports two centercaps from a different Audi that don’t quite fit properly, the power seat on the driver’s side doesn’t work…the list goes on. The ad copy is full of enthusiasm but I think is best summarized by the line “I have no idea what this is, but here it is!” Sure, the engine bay looks impressive – one of the better looking original condition ones I’ve seen in a while, and unfortunately that seems to be the only place that this Audi has any value and it won’t be much at that. Like I said with the quattro, even if this car was free, by the time you fix all of the issues you could have gotten into a more desirable later car with more power. That’s sad, because there’s a lot to like here and it sure is overall in great condition all things considered. It’s just unfortunate that is neither the most desirable model nor one worth restoring.
