A few things that would put me off -

1 - Its age
2 - High miles (yes I know they are good engines but whats the cost if it had to be replaced as it is heading towards the end of its life)
3 - Image
4 - Parts? Not to sure about these cars but I would imagine they would be a little rarer than most.

I would have one only if it was very cheap. As I said my old Audi is nearly dead, but it cost me ?25 and I serviced it for under ?50. If she sees the end of the summer thats a suprise.

As for what the GL5 is worth, to me ?300. But as I say, thats my opinion and if you like it go for it.

Ps, Are these the same as the Audi 100 Avant? The back looks sim?

Age isn't necessarily a problem.
The bodywork is more important.
High miles would probably put me off.
However parts should be easily available, as there are plenty of Audi 5 cylinder cars still around.
If anything parts are easier to get and cheaper for the 10v, getting parts for a 5 cylinder 20v is more expensive and more difficult.

Your attitude is the attitude of most people, hence it being as underrated as it is!! The car has never been popular, always been better than most of the similar rivals of the time though! I wouldn't have even thought it worth ?300! More like ?75.... Parts, GSF still sell servicing parts, and they were popular (and are) in America, may be able to get rarer parts there? Age, and miles is something that worries me too.. Image, thats why i want it!! People would look, and think it not up to much, but it does shift! I will have to test drive it first! Just keep having dreams about i for the next week  ::) ;D

Well for ?75 you can't go wrong. Insurance though? Is it worth paying a premium for something thats worth pennies? I can see why you want it though.

I already knew that!!! Thats one of the reasons i'm so interested! Its Damn hard to decide though. I've spent so long getting my car to be near perfect, and i really like it. And going to uni soon, mightn't be able to afford it  :-\ :'(

Although, it is a GL5  ;D 8) I would be so proud! Its things like wax on the carpet, and "tired" trim too. Besides, i have to test drive it, and he owner isn't available yet, so waiting it will be!!

Can't see why you want it?  ???
Its a 5 cylinder, thats why.
It will be faster than an 8v gti, probably not a lot different to a 16v  ;)

Seriously,
I used to have a passat estate GT 16v, it was the newer model after the one mr.mallows is looking at.
It was the ultimate Q car, it looked like a bland old estate, but it went like sh!t off a shovel.
Everyone used to turn round and look cos it had a k&n and a drilled box, it sounded mad!
I remember i was at GTI inters a few years back, at Swindon. When we left this geezer tried to race me off the lights onto the motorway in a mk1 golf gti, i left him for dead  :D
