Bump. Car still available. It's sitting in my friend's shop and he's getting tired of it taking up space.

It's a Leather dash, as the Glove box has the plastic surround on the latch.
I like the two tone look too.

Good eye, Rick, but I think maybe he has the 8's on the front and the 7's on the rear.

I've been meaning to check that too when I take my Audi up for service work. I did look and it has the same size tires on it front and rear.

I took the clamp thing that he has for his tire machine for measuring wheel widths and the wheels on the front are actually wider. Keep in mind that I was lying on the floor trying to get the thing positioned correctly but it appears that it has 16x7 and 16x8 and the tire place in town put the rear wheels on the front. Tire sizes are the same front and rear. I thought the pre 85s had 16x7 all the way around like James said.

I hope someone buys it before I get tempted to grab it.

I still have to agree with James that those wheels are all the same size and not 8's and 7's. I have the S4 (16x7 and 16x8) Flat Discs on my car and the 8's have a distinct "cup" to them. The pics of the wheels of the the 83 don't appear different.

For a decent sale prrice the car needs to be listed on CL, ebay or similar where there is a larger audience. Folks here already know what the car will need $$-wise, and they've already learned that on cars they own. Bigger pond, new fish, maybe you'll get a bite!

Seems like the $8K version of "hold my beer, watch this..."

..or 16K in magic dollars.

Was up at the shop Friday for an oil change on my Allroad. Mechanic said a $10K offer would take the car. He's ready for it to leave his shop.
