Audi 80 5E CD 1984

[Skull]

Hello!

I need an advice from 81/85 users.

There is a nice 80 5E (115hp) for sale here, that i would really like to buy for a daily. It has just 140.000km on the clock, no rust, and it is fully original.

The main concern is the goddam NLA . I checked the family album, and there are hardly any parts available.

So i need to know how/where to get parts, main concern are the engine parts.

What do you say, buy or no buy? (the price is not a problem)

If you want it, buy it,theres always someone with bits.The nla thing gets a bit hyped up if you ask me

http://trshop.audi.de/konakart/Welcome.do have lots of old stock/new parts

and www.classic-audi.co.uk is a good source of people who have parts/cars breaking

Nice, you might find that some parts are compatible with vw making it easier to get some bits.

buy it enjoy it
i'm sure you'll source parts from some where if needed
nice

With your skills in finding rare Audi parts i wouldn't worry, im sure there is an abundance of spares within the type 85 community

I've got an '85 90q and even here in the US I don't have trouble finding most of the parts. You should have no problems being in Slovenia.

When I see a typ85 at the breaker I grab things that I might not be ablet o find later.

I had a '84 80 CD 5E myself and drive type 81/85 cars daily since I got my drivers license 8 years ago. If the car is complete and driveable now don't worry about the NLA thing then. Just buy it and enjoy it.

tnx all for the replies

the car is complete and drivable, and i really need a daily.

the trouble is me, as if i buy it i wanna urquattro headlights, quattro rear spoiler, some wide bbs rm and so on.

Skull,

buy it first, we'd all be wanting to do the type of things you've mentioned, so you'd be "amongst friends".

Looking forward to your thread on the car and how you tweek/clean it.

Kind regards.

Hahaha.....That's what happened to me. Bought it as a daily....it needed new shocks so I bought konis and H&R, the urq lights, treser rears, B4 front suspension, coilovers, then urq engine, und, und.

It looks really nice. I'd buy it if it was here.

they're not specific urq lights though. Early type Coupe GT lights, pre facelift and the 80 quattro came with them from the factory aswell. Although not in the US

You had to rub it in.

damn! i just realized how stupid this thread is. i am actually asking junkies if i should take drugs or not.

[bazburn]

I think you need another 'fix'...

BUY IT ! 80's cars are cool - I have a mk2 VW Passat & a lot parts for that are NLA, but you just keep looking & asking
