1987 Audi 4000 review from North America
"Dependable, and worth every penny"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the car I was told the battery needed to be replaced. I replaced the battery and everything was fine until I turned it off, left for a week, came back and it wouldn't start. I went under the hood and noticed the battery has gone dead... A brand new battery going dead! I'm baffled, I don't understand how this is happening. I know something is draining the battery while the car is off or it drained the battery before I turned it off. I'm guessing the alternator is bad, but I haven't tackled the problem just yet.
Side panels are coming off.
Seats have rips and the CD player on the radio is busted.
General comments?
When I bought this car I actually thought I was getting ripped off for $2,000 with a 125k car. I may have been, but I'm nothing, but pleased with this car.
It's dependable besides the battery problems and it starts right up in cold weather after 2 weeks of not running.
This car beats all of my friend's cars off roading. With my 4000 Quattro no one can believe the power and maneuvering this car puts out.
