1997 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro, minor damage, cheap! Alexandria, VA
SOLD!
The day before I was going to deliver this car to a guy in Richmond for my asking price of $4100, a large branch fell over onto the car. It didn't fall with a whole lot of inertia. It was just a branch and hit some power lines on the way down, but it did some minor cosmetic damage. There are a few dents scattered around the car, but none on the doors and front passenger quarterpanel. The dents are minor and the paint held up well.
It still runs just fine, there is no mechanical damage whatsoever, it is purely cosmetic. All the doors open and close just fine, no squeaking. If you can deal with some minor damage you can pick this car up for a steal!
New pictures are below, and my old ad is below that so you can see what it looks like outside.
I am also putting in new brakes this upcoming week so that'll be a bonus.
--------------MORE INFO---------------------
In Alexandria, VA:
I just got this Red A4 a little over two years ago, love the car, I don't need it anymore because I use the metro.
Here's the details:
114800 miles
Clean inside and out
Serviced regularly, I have all records
Serviced with all synthetic fluids
Timing belt replaced at 90k
New plugs and wires
Recently replaced tire rods
HIDs
All black leather interior
Flowmaster exhaust, Vogtland springs (1.5" drop), still handles like stock, really smooth
Kenwood head unit
The exhaust is quiet but a little throaty from the muffler, it's good sound and it's one of the quieter cars I've driven on the highway. The cruise control is unreliable. There's a solder joint on the cruise control computer that went bad. It can be fixed for about ~$50 by ordering a new computer on eBay. Just something I haven't gotten around to yet.
There's been a bit of an exhaust rattle developing which is why I dropped the price so much. It's not so bad but the mechanics in Lexington are notoriously bad. Upshot of that for you - the passenger's side portion of the downpipe is new, the mid-muffler is new, and a lot of the piping is new. After spending over $500 to get rid of this rattle just to find out it's the driver's side downpipe... frustrating to say the least. But at least it's nailed down and I may find a good mechanic and get it fixed but if I do the price will go up slightly. Car still runs perfectly with the rattle.
The speakers are all stock, except the rear-right which was torn so I replaced it with a Phoenix Gold 6.5. It blends well.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Good man, moved to Alexandria for good, working... being out of college is both good + bad... bad for my free time though. I got unlucky, man, this thing was supposed to go to a guy in Richmond a while ago and a big branch fell on it just by Salerno's. Luckily nothing major happened but the guy backed out, so here I am again, trying to sell this car. Typical...
