1986 Audi 80 B2 Sport - now sold

[kingpin]

Hi everyone,

Decided to sell this beauty.

Haven't had the car long.

Unexpected change in work circumstances.

See ebay for full description.

Love that! Shame it looks like its had little nudge up the rear as the bumper looks pushed in towards the middle.
Id I had the money id take that love the old Audi's and would look lovely parked next to the RS4 ;-) GLWS

[kingpin]

No accident damage on this car. I see what you mean by the image of the bumper but it is just a funny camera angle.  Think i'll take another shot to replace it cos don't want potential buyers thinking the same thing.

cheers,

[jefferson]

That my friend is lovely. Beautiful in that colour.

[luca24]

Even if it had a little shunt I still wouldn't be put off lol love these

[seanr68]

That my friend, is fantastic. Those bumpers are a very easy fix, that's if it is slightly pushed in.

[kingpin]

Thanks for the positive comments everyone.

Shot this walk around video if anyone is interested.

Cheers,

that's just the same colour as my automatic Audi 80 B2 CD 5S was, If that was an automatic I would have ripped your hand off for it (finances willing). one of the best cars I ever had GLWTS

[Geordie]

That's lovely. Local too. Would look great alongside my B4 Coupe. Hmmmm?

[b2audi80]

6mins walk around and no shots of any of the common rot spots on a b2?

great colour in them

[Nozza]

Good luck with the sale.

If the car has any rot 'B2Audi' I haven't seen it.

Common areas meaning the windscreen scuttle, A pillars, sunroof etc?

None there so either restored to a good standard in the past or well looked after.

As described in the ebay ad there is some minor bubbling which can be seen on close inspection around the inner lip of the rear wheel arches and rear valance return. Couple of minor bubbles which have not broken the paint on drivers door.

I would expect any serious buyer to have a good look at the car in person and make their own judgements anyway.  I wouldn't buy a nearly 30 year old car on the merits of a shaky video either!

As we all know on here old cars have their marks, scrapes and minor issues.  The car is not mint as described but is very good. I would suggest its the best original Audi 80 Sport for sale on the open market at the moment.  Their is one other that has been majorly messed about with and looks silly on ebay at the moment for £5k.

Hundreds of watchers and thousands of views on ebay currently in the 8 days or so it been for sale.

[kingpin]

Also, meant to add that the current MOT done at end of September 2013 does not have any advisories other than exhaust leak.

No corrosion is noted at all.

In my experience the MOT testers are sh*t hot on this sort of thing and very detailed so potential buyers please take this as a vote of confidence to the structural solidity of this car.  I did when I bought it.

Cheers,

as you seem to have taken offence to my comment , il clear a few things up for you as regards light bubbling on a b2 and also the issue on the MOT , b2s normally rot from the inside out , so when light bubbling on the surface of the arches is present then it usually is a bigger job than a quick fix (i can post some pics of cars if you like), by the time you start fixing the arches 9 times out of 10 you will end up in as far as the axle mounts , inner sill and inner arch tub, the axle mounts can be in a very bad health and not picked up on by the mot tester , due normally to the amount of underseal that is in the area ,ive seen 4 very good cars having to get work on this area with fresh MOT's so the MOT is not a guarantee this area is solid or with out fault (pics of this area bad on cars with Mot can be posted also), also the windscreen surround can be a mess and not out past the rubber and most don't even know , even on good low mileage cars , but thats not what bothered me about this one

i had been interested in this car before because of the colour and the fact it was 675quid from what i remember , the reason i asked about the areas on the arches especially is i wouldve been interested again if they had been sorted , but from your reply i think il pass this time again , i would not have entioned any of the above at all but for your post that seemed to attack me , i work on mostly B2s and have 3 of my own and another 4 in the yard for repairs


also the one on ebay messed about with at 5k is irrelevant to anything , its been for sale long enough for anyone to know it wont make anywhere near whats being asked

an excellent site to visit for anyone into classic audis here :::: www.classic-audi.co.uk


Good Luck with the sale anyhow , the colour is very nice on the b2 , and it will make a nice everydayclassic for someone

Do you seriously expect the seller to "dig off underseal" and poke around with screwdrivers, just to satisfy your concerns?
If you were really that interested in owning this car, you'd get up, and go for a look yourself.
His comments aren't an attack on you, he's merely pointing out that the car looks good from what he's seen.
if you want pics of a certain area, ask. I'm sure the op will oblige.
Like he says, if you were seriously interested, you'd go check it out...it is a 30 yr old motor.

that is not what i said at all , take time and read it again , i pointed out a normally overlooked area by mot testers , also as i said i was interested as i missed it last time , but if it has had no arch work done since the last time it was for sale then i don't think I'm interested this time either tbh pending pics , i have pm'd for some more pics though as the just getting up and going for it isnt as easy when i live in ireland

[seanr68]

I'm sure the op will be able to provide pics if required. The same problem arises with mk2 sciroccos. The go around the inside of the rear arch and rear strut mounts.
Apologies, didn't realise you were in Ireland. T'is a bit out of the way.

[kingpin]

You might need to chill out 'Audi80B2' !

I wasn't attacking you just making a point that the car I have for sale is not to my knowledge a rot box and has been given an assurance of safety without mention of corrosion by an approved MOT tester. It's good enough for me and would be good enough for most of the car buying general public.

I drive around with my kids in the car and trust me if the rear axle drops off I will be issuing a legal claim against the MOT testing station that gave it an MOT 3 months ago without noticing that it had major structurally dangerous corrosion.

Any other mechanics or MOT testers on here reckon they wouldn't spot that the rear axle was about to drop off!!?

As for the car being available in the past for £675, quite possibly but I doubt it was within the past 3 - 4 years as that's how long I've been looking for one admittedly online only, but I didn't see it. 

This cars intrinsic value is in its rarity in my opinion and worth what I'm asking for it to the right buyer in today's market, the extensive interest I've had is testament to that.

Cheers,

[b2audi80]

no need for chill pill at all,,,
car was for sale a year or so ago , hence the reason i know of it , and my interest in it again as i like the colour,, i look forward to getting some more pics of he areas i asked for as id like it to come this way

no fault of any MOT tester but b2s harbour rust in that area in particular and its very hard for them to determine what it would be like,so a lot of them come through an MOT grand and without failure , a large majority of the time the underseal makes the area look solid and wouldnt draw suspicion at all to be poked unfortunately

an example of a b2 with fresh MOT and blistering on the arches that didnt warrant an advisory


and how deep you end up going to sort it properly on the majority of occasions ,(8 ive done now and 4 had fresh mot's)

[kingpin]

Hi mate,

Think you'll be pleased with the images i'll get to you tomorrow.

The area you picture on this white car is no comparison to the same area on mine.

cheers,
