[ot] [fs/ft] '87.5 audi coupe gt (non-quattro)

[foxxinabox at wideopenwest.com (Foxx (in a box))]

   i've finally decided that i should probably get rid of my audi gt. it 
hasn't been a bad car in the time i've owned it, but i certainly isn't a 
scirocco. colour is alpine white with colour matching wheels; interior 
is grey cloth. engine is a 2.3l (strong) and it does have the digital 
dash. will most likely include the roof mounted thule bike rack (don't 
really want to mess with selling it seperately). appears as if the 
previous owner put on an aftermarket exhaust (not too loud, but nice). i 
personally put a new clutch master and slave cylinder in it and the p.o. 
said that the clutch was done not long ago. i also bought a new pair of 
kuhmo ecstas for it (less than 1,000 miles on them) and the other two 
seem to be 90% there. i also found a bumper and had it recently painted 
(story to the old bumper). the other good bits are that the sunroof 
works perfectly and it does have heated seats (though the drivers seat 
will need a relay or wires checked). it does have a/c, p/s, & p/w. 
recent oil change with vw filter and the various little odds and ends 
that go along with it (trim pieces, etc.). the car does have a good, 
clean title. also included a bentley manual and new owners manual, etc.
   now the bad: it does have a lifter tap (one or two) on start up. i 
haven't had it running long enough lately to see if one goes away (does 
quiet down considerably when warm). i managed to touch up most of the 
surface rust, though there are still some spots remaining. the p.o. 
siliconed what appears to be a hole at the left lower corner of the 
winshield so, unfortunately, i don't know what's going on there. the 
front speakers don't work but the radio isn't the correct one for the 
car - it's an audi radio from a later model with amplified speakers - 
channeled the preamped wires to the rear speakers which work fine. there 
is a dent in the roof where it looks like the p.o dropped his bike at 
one point, no break in the paint, though. and there is an occasional 
grounding problem (according to an audi tech at work) with the speedo 
and temp portions of the cluster (the speedo/odo keeps track, but 
doesn't always display and the temp gauge shows hot when making a long 
continuous turn). the ashtray lid is also broken and, iirc, there are a 
couple marks from cigarettes, though nothing through. the e-brake 
doesn't work but it does come with new rear pads and rotors. it'll also 
require a new antenna (set for a power setup - supplier info is 
available). rear hatch shocks would be required if you don't want to 
decapitate yourself.
   i'm asking $800 for it like it is. i don't really have the time to 
work on it working 10 hour days and i don't want to see it rot away. for 
that price i'll include a new pair of lifters, a valve cover gasket, and 
a new ashtray. depending, i might also include a new timing belt. i'm 
also considering a partial/complete trade for a (get this) -=AUTOMATIC=- 
scirocco. specifications for this are that it 1) much be '84.5 or newer 
(engine layout) and 2) in good condition. of course, i'd be concerned 
about the condition of the auto trans, but other than that, most 
anything goes. please, nothing that's hacked together. i have a few 
other requests, though they are negotiable. i'd request it to be 
driveable so that we might meet somewhere and exchange vehicles. and 
since i know you might be wondering, the reason i'm looking for an 
automatic is because i'm contemplating knee surgery and i know they'll 
request that i don't use a clutch.
   i have a digital camera so i can snap pictures of the audi for you. 
let me know what kind of connection you have and i can send them via 
e-mail or might create a small web page for them. feel free to contact 
me with any questions you may have. *** and, please, if you are 
interested, contact me OFF the list ***. i feel bad about listing this 
here, but i know that other scirocco owners may be interested in this 
cousin of our cars. thanx for the bandwidth.
