"If you can find one, I suggest you buy it!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A/C currently not working.

A bit of paint fade. Expected for a 20 year old car.

Brakes are soft. Needed new brake pads and shoes.

Bought with only 106,000 miles on it.

General comments?

As close to mint condition as you can get for an 20 year old car.

Some one really took care of it.

Bought it for $1000.00 with only 106,000 miles on it at Habitat for Humanity. It was donated.

Interior in Excellent Shape. No rips burns, Nothing!!

Body has to 1 minor dings and no rust.

Smooth ride, excellent over rough and gravel road.

It is a manual so it has excellent pickup and passing power.

Looks more like a 90's model Audi than a mid-80's.

Engine and transmission are rock solid and you can feel that when you drive it.

My 3 year old son will probably graduate High school before this car dies.

Plenty of parts dealer on-line for this make, year and model.

Hard to find any for sale!!

Get one while you can!

Hello,

I too own a 86 Audi 4000 S. It is in Excellent condition. I recently repainted the car myself so there is no rust or dings in any of the sheetmetal. Instead of bondo I used replacement panels from Audi. The interior is perfect. The previous owner was my High School teacher and he got the car from his mother-in-law. She bought it brand new. The best news behind this car though is the mileage. It burns no oil whatsoever, solid pick-up and I had the car Dyno'ed and it still had the factory rating for horsepower at 92 and the car has 500,000+ miles on it!!. I love the car and I am going to drive it until it dies, which I don't think will be very soon.

Hello Folks

I just completed rebuilding an 86 4000S that I have owned since new.

It had 209,000 miles when the cam stopped turning because of lack of oil.

I have been working on this on and off for the last four years, rebuilt everything from the firewall forward, and a few parts behind. No problem finding parts on the web and a few on eBay. You are right I have not seen any for sale except a few parts cars. I guess we have a good collector.
