That’s exactly what I thought as soon as I saw the headline.  Crack Pipe at any price.

right strategy, wrong timing, bud. the best way to value out of this car is with fire, but BEFORE spending the first dollar ‘fixing’.

Yes!  COTD  “Crack Pipe At Free” nails it.

But but but... Holy Grail! Right?

I get where you’re coming from, but seriously, the Allroad is the WORST car made. Even my old B5 S4 could be considered more “reliable” in comparison to this. This is NOT the Audi you want. VW / Audi from this late 90s to early 2000s era were definitely worth the bitching.

No don’t do it. I bought mine for $6k then had another $5k into it in parts. then after getting it back together the front AC pusher fan relay got stuck on and caught fire. insurance only gave me $4K.  

Hate the dealership, not the car (?)

Audis are very reliable.

These are a crack pipe at free. Hell, its still a bad deal if the seller offered to give you $2k to take it away. You cant work on them yourself (unless youre a masochist) and they break every time you even think about driving it. Worst car Audi has made in the past.....lifetime. Stay away. Far far away.

YAAAASSSSSS

My sister briefly had a Pacer back in the day. I suspect that most Jalopnik readers aren’t old enough to have driven these cars and don’t realize just how bad almost all cars from the Big 3 were back then.

Did you NP’rs not see the rust coming through the bondo under that canary yellow respray? This fishbowl is hiding a lot more of that I promise you, glorious Kenosha pot metal frisky with tinworm. Phuct not phat. 

As much as I appreciate the quirkiness of the Pacer, $4k for 88hp with rust is at least twice what is reasonable.

Star for the name alone.

They are rental cars lmao! Easy miles???

But that hood scoop! It must haul absolute ass, didn't you see the scoop?

Easily worth it, he JUST installed a new part from ROCK AUTOOOO!

I propose that @RobEmslie get today’s COTD for “Corollavirus”.

You’ll always have a belt handy.

I use mine to root for truffles.
