I love that old Nissan.
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

Ooooo...this is nice!  Gotta do some research (power, videos, etc.) but if it's an Audi it's probably AWD and it's probably fun as hell too.  Still an FGC but if it works, and it works well mechanically, it'd be a hoot.

edit: guess there's little interest.  It's on Auto Trader for $16,992 and then also for $15,995...

huge money for the car, and they are a nightmare for reliability

have a friend in Germany who had one, hated it
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

C'mon!  >:( Quit ruining the dream!  :'( It reminds me of the 323 GTX...but with another 90 horsies. And better looking.  Damn Germans ...all that heaped on praise, and yet nothing buy piles o'sh...  :-\  I do like that though.  Never seen or heard of them - some damn reason I just like nondescript little hot hatches.  The give-aways to people who are in the know.  Oh well, not like I was going to spend $13,500 (or whatever) on an old FGC anyway...can get a nice old C10 for that, or at least something reliable...still...funky little car.

Yes it’s on the same platform as the TT, Golf, Bora/Jetta, Beetle, Octavia, Toledo, and Leon from that era.

Sorry Bubba, but I'll take the Volare with the 318 auto over a $12,500 USD wagon. Mind you, the wagon will probably have much less rust damage.

Damn Bubba!  You're a master Mopar Guru car-finder kinda guy!  Those are some pretty freakin' sweet cars, even if they are just an Aspen and a Volare (and I love love love that wagon with the 500's on it). So perfect.  And to think, they're all just an LS swap away from perfection!  ;D

There’s a ton of awesome cars on BaT right now. Some wicked Defenders, a 928 S4, a nice K5 Blazer, and on and on. Cripes. I need to stay off there.

Love the wagon - look at all that glass.  The seat upholstery on that 2-door Aspen is awesome.
