That's a deal even at $2k

Jesus. If that was local to me I'd be on my way to get it. CT is too far for me though. Saved by geography!

Whew. 3k miles is too far away, thank God.

Well, my son is an hour away, I'm about three.  Cut the deal, stash it at son's house or mine, pick up at your leisure.  See how easy that was?

I live about 15 minutes from Southbury where it said it's stored in the ad...

The last 4 fun cars I've bought have come from this same, weird triangle of Central/Western Connecticut.  2 from Dan0 himself, a panamera in Middletown, an E46 wagon in Danbury...

 

There must truly be something in the water down there, that cool, well maintained enthusiast cars are the norm and not the exception.

I think it's the NYC / Fairfield county $$$ to Lime Rock Park zone. People with money buy the stuff new and then when they buy new again they sell to the middle / working class people in the area. 
 

The Audi Avant you bought from me originally came from a couple that lived mid state and mainly used it as a CT to Stowe VT car. Dealer maintained, dealer engine replacement, etc.

Seeing the tubes shrinkwrapped that close to the engine gives me the heebie jeebies.  Engines can move around a lot, even with "solid" mounts (which suck), and at some point someone's going to have to work on something too.

It's hard for us to wrap the brain around for sure.  Girl next door was a Nanny in NYC, folks came home to find her on the couch crying.  She just got a call from her mechanic and repair costs were well outside her budget.

"Maybe we can help.  We're paying $500/month to keep an Audi wagon inside and we never drive it.  You'd be saving us money by just taking it".

What's going on with the axle to tongue frame looking part?   The rusty bit behind the trailer jack.

Looks like it's on a converted boat trailer and they added reinforcement.
