That is the $4900 car in CA that "just needs a wash and a fuel pump relay"
Right. A neglected, not running ur q is worth about $2k. If they want $4900, they should be willing to clean it up and put in a $15 relay. Unless it is proven to run, I would assume that it needs a lot more than a relay (how did they determine it needs that...). Even good quattros _always_ need about $2k worth of work IME when you first buy them. Seeing that you can't drive this one, I would figure on doubling that amount.
I believe that is the car referred to as "the mold car" by the local guys that know it, as the interior is covered in mold. I have heard of a few people being interested in it in the last couple of years, including a few guys that really know the cars, but it never sold.
