1988 Audi 80 review from North America
"Great car for what I payed, lots of potential"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car for a hundred dollars with the understanding that it had a blown engine. As it turns out, the engine was fine. Still to replace are the exhaust, water pump, and shocks.
General comments?
I have only had the car for about 2 months, and in that time including the cost of the car I have payed about 200 dollars. I have saved myself tons of money by doing the work myself. All said and done I should have this car in very good working condition for well under a thousand dollars. I was dead set against European cars before I got this car, but I have since changed my tune. It's a pleasure to work on and a pleasure to drive.
