    Inherited an 1987 5000 wagon, I think...

    Bro-In-Law called me all flustered this morning "you can have this! I just had my mech change out the steering rack for the fourth time and it is leaking 2 days later! I just spend $1k but you can have it!"
    I said " I will trade you some king salmon for it"
    He said "Deal!"

    Probably not the right forum but what the heck.

    Anyone know of forums for this year/model of car?
    I am looking at Audizine and maybe quattroworld?

    it is brown with brownish tan leather interior and those old school rims.
    If it does well in the snow, that might be my commuter during the winter

    Yep, a great winter 'tank'... what a deal, tasty fish for German metal ! But wow, 4 racks? Your bro-in-law needed to find a better mechanic right after the second one.

    My vote is Q-world for the forum help with these dinosaurs.

    Nice. I would also say Quattro world as well. Is it a turbo inline 5?

    I think it is the FWD I-5. It would uber awesome if it was the Quattro I-5 and even better if it was the Quattro Turbo I-5
