and need some advice on what to look for in these cars. I already own a 97 A4 and a 92 100 so I'm pretty familiar with the audi brand. just wondering about the querks of owning a CQ.

Jim Bush

I have owned three now with no big problems. Injectors might be a problem that 20v.org does not mention, but there are replacements for those.

I would look around the www.20v.org site, it has alot of useful info.

You wouldn't happen to be looking at the one in Caledonia would you?? Oh, I guess that one is a 1990.

But if it's in the NorthEast look carefully underneath. The shell might look great, but the running gear can look really bad. Pull a rear wheel and look at the amount of rust on the calipers and rest of the suspension.

Also!! It better have a good windshield.

There are a number of parts that are NLA, so if you find some items you're concerned about. Post them here to see availablilty or not for that matter. Some are annoyingly menial items, but can just be a plain 'ol pain to live without.

So your in the holland area. Good I hope I can call on you to answer my maintenance questions.

The car also includes two sets of wheels and tires (summer &amp; winter), both sets have good tread remaining. The car does need some tlc. Asking price: $2500.

so what do you think? i asked about the Tbelt and he said it was replaced at 140K. along with these issues::: the paint needs to be touched up and the suspension needs some new bushings and sway bar links along with ball joints. the suspension isn't expensive just labor intensive. it needs a new cv boot, a new knock sensor and O2 sensor.

Jim Bush

The end links and the knock sensor are not cheap ball joints are around $60 each.

I am selling one of mine for $2500 you can come and look at that one if you want for comparison, I am south side of Holland. I think I have it sold though.

Jim Bush

I have never seen the car either, maybe Paul (speedy247...something here on AW) has, he is in Muskegon.

I know it was at Motorstat two weeks ago or so.
