This 1985 Audi 4000S Quattro (VIN WAUFB0853FA161723) looks excellently preserved and is said to be completely original and unmodified. Previously owned by a German car specialist, mechanicals are described as being in excellent order, and the car is fully functional apart from a slow power window and non-op A/C. Though not turbocharged, these five-cylinder models still have a lot of character in the drivetrain department, furthered by lockable center and rear diffs. Find this one here on eBay in Seattle, Washington for $7,650 OBO. Special thanks to BaT reader Jon F. for this submission.

According to the seller, bodywork is laser-straight minus a few small dings. Paint looks very good as well, and dark rubber trim appears to show minimal wear. Audi were really on a styling roll by the time these cars were facelifted for ’85, their clean, rational corporate design language leading the way for many of the decade’s best designs. This car still looks good today, in a way that virtually no modern German car will in 31 years time.

Describing the tidy looking cabin, the seller says: “Interior is impeccable. Dash is crack-free. Headliner is clean and intact. Door trimming are excellent. No rips or seam separations on seating,” adding “All electrical features work as they should except the right front power window is very slow. A/C turns on but doesn’t seem to blow cold air, likely needing of a recharge. All gauges work. Power lock system operates as it should. All interior and exterior lights are operational. The vintage Alpine cassette/radio works and sounds great!”

Mechanicals are described as excellent, and the engine bay does look tidy. Suspension and brakes are said to work as they should, the ad further noting a smooth-shifting gearbox, strong clutch, functional AWD system with good locking differentials, and tight steering. Mileage is noted as 116,578.

No maintenance documentation is noted, however the optional AutoCheck report claims 38 records.
