A very low-mileage Audi V8 Quattro is up on eBay with 20 days left at a Buy-It-Now or Best Offer price of $6500. Â This was the predecessor to the A8, offering a 3.6L 247hp V8. Â Weak by today’s standards, but not too shabby in 1990. Â It was also the only full-size sedan with AWD at time and came with a galvanized body, so rust shouldn’t be a problem.
I think the big selling point here is the extremely low 41k miles. Â It’s no Ur-S4 or S6, but $6500 for a fun, big AWD sedan is not too bad at all.

I love the looks of these things, but I dunno why a rational person would choose this over a ’91 200TQ. With a chip you’ll eat V8’s all day and maintenance is WAY cheaper.
Of course, no rational person would buy a 20 year old Audi, but that’s neither here nor there.
I see your point about the tuning potential of the 200TQ, but the V8 is a special car in my mind — and as you point out, you can be fickle when dealing with a 20 year old Audi as you’d have to be a major fanatic in the first place!

You bought it? Very cool. Amazing what an assortment of precision components you have for $4500.
