1985 Audi 5000s

Description for Audi Other 1985

I bought this car at an estate auction. I have very limited information on the car. It is a 1985 Audi, brown in color, 5000S. The information that I received is that the car has been garage kept its entire life and that it has not been driven for years. The gas tank ruptured at the seam spilling gasoline all over the garage floor. The car continued to be kept in the garage but was never repaired. The couple that owned it were getting up in years and they had other vehicles to drive. The mileage shows just under 47,000 miles on the odometer. I bought the car in hopes of getting it running and driving it. I did remove the fuel tank, hooked up an electric fuel pump from a gas jug and tried to start it, the key turned, lights came on but would not crank. I crawled under the car and shorted the starter solenoid and it cranked right over but did not start. I have tried to get information online for the car but had no luck. I don't know why it will not crank with the key. The interior looks to be in good condition, the exterior may have little dings, nothing major. The tires look pretty good. The fiberglass spare tire pan in the trunk is broken and missing. Other than that, a fuel tank and a battery, I believe the car to be complete. The car has been parked under a large ash tree and the birds have been pretty active leaving their marks on the car. There appears to be tape residue on the top of the car around the sun roof. It may leak but the car has been sitting out for a couple of weeks through some pretty hard, prolonged rains and the inside has stayed dry. The small piece of upholstery on the inside that covers the sun roof door is loose. The title has been signed by the owner, I have not filled in the buyer information so it is an open title. I make absolutely no guarantees about this car. If it does not sell I plan to part it out. If you are in need of parts from this car let me know and if it does not sell I will discuss the parts with you. Feel free to make an offer on the car. If I feel it is a fair offer I will end the auction and sell it to you. The car is easily accessible by truck and trailer or roll back. There will be a non refundable deposit of $200.00 due via PayPal within 24 hours of end of auction. If you are in or near Southern Indiana and would like to see it let me know and you are more than welcome to come look at it. It is being sold as is. Again, if I receive a fair offer I will end the auction at that time. Any questions, please ask and I will try and answer them. The car is sold as is.
