Everything has a price. If one were so inclined, one could buy virginity for a fee. As for asking, I do realize that's a very gauche thing to do but I am - the bottom feeder, and I've ponied up my share of money here and there. No, I'm not Trump but I can write the check - if it wasn't black. 
By the time"concourse" mentioned I'm out of the game financially anyway

Edit: quoted wrong post. Deleted.
For any newbs that happen to sail through I would translate that as yeah maybe $5-6K parts doing work yourself if you are likely, probably $10-12K if you are paying a pro/proish tech to do the work (if you're lucky). And add a correction factor if you want to use all Porsche/Bosch vs some aftermarket parts.
To then have a very originalish, extremely nice car.
That Sean called plane-jane.
So, non-s4 guy, what is the metal tube over the pass cam cover?
Edit: "YMMV"
So, around $5,000 worth of catchup maintenance?

I would pull the passanger timing belt cover off, turn the engine over by hand and have a close look at the belt. If it look good, fire it up to make sure it runs well and then put it on BaT.

metal tube over the right cam cover is a fuel supply line
did you ever ground the water bridge?
I will bet it cures the running and gauge indication issues

Paul who is selling the car on behalf of the Estate has no idea of the value. Before he starts talking $ he needed to find out as much about the car as possible - hence the PPI by Sean.
He has been bombarded with emails about the car so I am not surprised he has not responded as yet. He also has to reach out the the current owner to discuss the selling price as he is acting on there behalf.
We/everyone wants to know a price - but they have to make up there minds about how much they want before telling everyone.
I offered $3.5k 8>).

I'm rushing right over with post-dated, three-party, out of state, temporary check written in crayon.
I'll take it down to Dal and have it wrapped in purple and gold later this week. Then, over to the lighting guy for some of those under car lights, and finally a kicker hydraulic system that can lift the car at least 5' up.
