FS: '86 5000 CS (turbo quattro) in Brooklyn, NY

[naterkane]

price drop... again. $2500 w/ stock wheels and tires... $2700 and i'll throw in the ARE wheels w/ new winter rubber.
BRAND NEW bilstein sports and h&r springs, upper mounts (front and rear), upper bearings (front), new control arms & sway bar bushings. rides very nice, still comfy and not harsh.

i'm now offering to lose money on this car!
actually, i was offering to lose money on the car with the $3k offer.

Work has dried up this month, so I sadly need to sell my 5ktq.

I have tons of spares that are also for sale.

The car has 221k on the clock, runs very well, does not consume oil and is an overall solid car. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car a long distance.

Since purchasing the car this past february I've ...

• flushed the cooling system with g12++ (everything came out super clean from the flush).
• Replaced the thermostat and fan switch with low temp (80 degree) units.
• replaced the radiator, and upgraded the fan to a quiet s-blade unit with seven blades.
• As of this week the suspension has been overhauled, and all reused parts were cleaned and painted (including the spring hats that you can't even see).
• The car sits on bilstein sports and H&R springs that provide a 1.4" drop from what you see in the photo below.
• New control arms.
• sway bar bushings
• strut bearings
• front and rear upper bushings, dust boots, etc....
• the car sits on 16x8 A8 monoblock wheels with new Kumho's that though "modern" still look like they could be period correct.
• Ben Swann Software w/ a 2.1 bar wastegate spring.
• the K26 is in perfect condition and feeds into to a two piece downpipe.
• the diverter valve feeds a samco hose to keep things in check when you let off the accelerator.
• very clean boost and air/fuel gauges installed in center vents, center vent modified and still works!
• The car has a new alternator and battery as well.
• i also replaced the wiper blades.

On the highway I get 31.5mpg all day long.

additional work which will all be addressed before the car changes hands:

• the car came with a lifter tick due to stuck cam followers/lifters, rebuilt lifters will be going in.
• the second gear syncro is bad, so i have another transmission that will get swapped in to fix the problem (then, this trans, will be rebuilt with new syncros and available for sale)
• i have a vacuum leak in the heater control that prevents the vents from blowing hot air, this will be fixed. the previous owner replaced the heater core, and i think the unhooked vacuum line was just a byproduct of that job.
• the previous owner pulled the headliner fabric (i assume it was sagging), so i will pull and re-trim the headliner and (perfectly working) sunroof.
• the front passenger door window switch will be replaced.
• the trunk came with a dent, so it will be replaced with another trunk lid that is already the correct color
• the previous owner stated the rear defogger wasn't working when i got the car, i haven't had an opportunity to test this, but will look into it.

work that i can do, but won't mess with unless you want me to.

• fix a dent above the rear bumper below the trunk from when the previous owner got tapped in a parking lot
• fix another small dent along the bodyline just below the rear right wheel opening from the same tapping
• repaint the car

photos detailing all of the cars flaws will be provided up on request.

the car will be thoroughly detailed inside, outside, and underhood before delivery. you'll be able to eat off of it.

currently there is a properly and well installed Zex nitrous setup on the car, big bottle, very full. I can include this kit with the car, or uninstall it, depending on what the buyer wants to do.

i'm currently taking offers between $4000-8500 depending on how you'd like the car delivered, but I do need to sell the car asap.
Without the wheels, I will let the car go for less than $4k.
I have two sets of stock wheels with good tires, a set of Fuchs with good tires and a set of ARE wheels with practically new winter tires.

the more time goes by, the more work i'll be doing to this car, and the more the price will go up.

[naterkane]

i really need this car sold!

[naterkane]

i can't believe nobody is interested.

[naterkane]

ok, i need this car gone.

i just rewired most of the harnesses going from the fuse/relay panels to the driver's door (a common fault), and now it's all sorted.

the car is going on ebay tonight.

i'll post a link. but if you buy it directly from me, you could very well save money over ebay.
