Rare 1990 Audi 90 Quattro 20v Sedan 4-door 2.3l 5 Cylinder Engine Awd on 2040-cars
Chesapeake, Virginia, United States
1990 Audi 90 20v Quattro Very rare Audi that was only made with this engine in 1990 and 1991. It was offered in both a coupe and a sedan. During those two years Audi built around 1700 coupes and less than 1000 sedans. They came with tons of features that were pretty far ahead of the times back then. It was equipped with power everything, heated seats, automatic climate control, a power moonroof, drivers airbag, headligh washers, integrated ski bag, a factory rear spoiler, BBS alloy wheels and with things that are still unheard for today like an ABS kill switch and a locking rear differential. Here is an article that Automobile Magazine did on this car under its collectible classics section a few years ago. automobilemag.com/features/collectible_classic/1011_1990_1991_audi_90_quattro_20v I had been looking for one of these for quite some time in unmodified condition. It was a 2 owner car that was originally purchased in Roanoke Virginia (autocheck is counting title events from when the second owner moved from Virginia to North Carolina as a new owner). I found it when the second owners son convinced his mother to sell it and get it out of their yard where it had been sitting for a while. Due to it sitting it had some issues and I have addressed nearly all of them and have over $2000 worth of receipts dated since October to prove it!! It is now in great running condition. The engine is strong and has great compression and the Quattro all wheel drive works great (check out the snow pic)!! The interior is also in great shape with no rips or tears in the seats, and no major stains, the power windows and locks are all working as well Here is a partial list of parts and maintenance items that I have completed (again I have receipts for all of this no gimmicks here). I have used only oem or oem spec parts and have not modified the car in anyway, except for the radio (I wanted something with an aux input and found the most factory looking radio I could). I still have the factory radio and it will be included. Front and rear struts Front and rear strut mounts and boots 4 new tires 2 Front wheel bearings Front breaks Rear Rotors Rear Breaks Tie Rod assemblies (inner and outter ends) Steering rack boot Front ball joints Rear ball joints Drivers side Window regulator Front control arm bushings (4 total) Rear control arm bushings (4 total) Front sway bar links Thermostat Oil change Several new switches Radio/rear speakers Headlights Custom exhaust repair Power steering hose Hydraulic fluid Full size matching BBS alloy wheel as a spare So onto some things I haven't completed. It still needs a good detail inside and out. The headliner isn't sagging but has some stains and was cut along the side when the previous owner had a phone installed (yes a car phone not a cell phone!!). The interior dome light isn't working could just be bulbs but I haven't played with it. There are some minor body work issues that you may want to fix (minor dents) they didn't bother me but they are there (luckily the white paint doesn't show much). The drivers side seat heater is not working, the passenger side works great but I haven't looked into the drivers side yet. I did pick up a new switch for it but I haven't replaced it yet and I'm not sure that's the problem. The rear differential is a little wet it looks like the axle seals are seeping a little but I have checked the fluid and the level is good so I haven't touched that yet either. Germanautoparts website sells the seal kit for $80. The AC is not working and would need converted to r134a. The only other thing I can think of is the fog lights, one of them has a shattered lens and I haven't been able to find a replacement. The other one is in good shape but I had to pull it out to pass Virginia inspection. I know that sounds like a lot but I am just don't want there to be any surprises! As you can see in the pictures I have two keys, the original owners manual, and a Bentley repair manual. I also have some receipts from the previous owner that include a $3000 service from 2007. Some spare switches for the interior, the factory radio and a few other spare parts that will be included with the car. So why am I getting rid of it after all this hard work and money invested? I unfortunately can't afford a project car at this point and even though its in great shape now it is still a 24 year old car and anything can happen so I have decided to move on. Feel free to call, text or email me with any questions. Chuck 724-880-9525 |

Mercedes chief invites Audi, BMW to compete in F1
Thu, Dec 4 2014Mercedes-Benz didn't just win the Formula One World Championship in 2014 – it positively dominated it. The team won all but three of the grands prix this season, scoring a one-two finish at more than half of them and landing at least one car on the podium at every race without exception. It goes without saying, then, that the German automaker thrives on competition, but now it's welcoming even more. Speaking with Germany's Sport Bild at its homecoming celebration in Stuttgart, Daimler chief Dieter Zetsche welcomed Mercedes' biggest rivals Audi and BMW to join it on the F1 grid. Noting that the three German brands share some 80 percent of the market for luxury automobiles, Zetsche said that F1 would make a natural arena of competition for Mercedes, Audi and BMW to fight for top bragging rights. The three currently compete against each other in front of home audiences in the DTM touring car series – effectively Germany's equivalent to NASCAR – but of the ten races held this year, the majority were in Germany itself, and all of them took place in Europe. BMW last competed in F1 when it bought the Sauber team in 2006, but withdrew from the series in 2009. Despite its progenitor Auto Union having fielded the famous Silver Arrows in pre-war grand prix racing, Audi has never been a player in modern F1 racing, though recent rumors have linked it to a potential foray – spurred by the arrival of sister-company Porsche on its home turf at Le Mans, the departure of several of its key endurance drivers and the hiring of former Scuderia Ferrari chief Stefano Domenicali. Porsche had similarly considered an F1 program before getting the go-ahead to compete with Audi at Le Mans. As for the prospect of Mercedes competing in other international racing series, Zetsche added that year-long preparations for 24 hours of racing at Le Mans didn't present a good cost-benefit ratio in his estimation, but that Formula E (where Audi currently supports a quasi-works entry) would be worth a closer look.
Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it
Thu, 28 Mar 2013For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
Volkswagen might cut 40 models across brands to save cash
Mon, Jun 20 2016Volkswagen once set out to pass Toyota and General Motors and become the largest automaker in the world. Following months of fallout from the diesel emissions scandal, the manufacturer is rumored to be dropping around 40 models from its company-wide lineup. According to German business and finance publication Handelsblatt, the Volkswagen Group is looking to slim down and remove a number of low-volume vehicles from various lineups. The company currently sells around 340 models across brands that include Audi, Lamborghini, and Bentley. Volkswagen is refusing to comment, but Handelsblatt claims to have sources within the company. Last week, Volkswagen Group CEO Matthias Muller announced a new strategy for the company that includes a major focus on electric vehicles and new technology services. During his announcement, Muller said the company would be cutting a number of models, but at the time no numbers, models, or brands were discussed. Despite comments to the contrary, rumors have persisted since late last year that Volkswagen was looking to sell commercial truck and bus manufacturer MAN. Volkswagen owns truck and bus manufacturer Scania, so even if it dropped MAN, the company would still have a foothold within the bus and truck market. There is also talk of the company selling Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, which Volkswagen acquired via Audi in 2012. The company's image has taken a huge hit in the wake of the diesel scandal. Volkswagen has set aside cash in order to pay fines and may be looking to sell these several subsidiaries and cut low-volume models in order offset the costs. Despite the scandal, the company led worldwide sales in the first quarter of 2016. The same was true in 2015, but sales tanked at the end of the year following the diesel revelations.
