1983 Audi Coupe GT5E 2.1 5 cylinder petrol
Summary:
Cheap, good looking fun
Faults:
Nothing so far, although I'm going to give it a good service, maybe have a look at the top end as it sounds very tappity. The full leather interior is showing it's age, although still in good condition considering the mileage/age.
The engine belches out a plume of black smoke when you first start it.
The brakes are crap. Must replace those too. Fan blower (interior heating) control switch broken. Exhaust clonks around a bit on over run. Suspension seems a bit clonky, but handles very well.
General Comments:
I bought my coupe for £300 and considering it's got a full stainless Scorpion exhaust (around £400) from the engine back, I'd say they threw the car in for free!
It was a bit of a risk buying a car with only 5 days of MOT left, but I needed something cheap and fun for 6 months while I sell my 306 and save up for an Impreza.
Let's hope the MOT doesn't find any nasty little surprises.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
