Used Car of the Day: 1984 Audi 4000 quattro Race Car

Today I bring you a 1984 Audi 4000 quattro that has been modified to go racing.


The seller has done most of the work themselves and it appears that he or she has really been diligent about getting this thing track-ready. It's unclear if the car is street-legal.

It appears the car needs an alignment, and the engine still needs to be fully broken in.

If you're looking for a weekend-warrior car, this one is for sale in California for $6,999.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Motor racing vehicles only attract certain customers. So, a daily driver might find this vehicle unacceptable. The reality is a race car is never sold for its real cost, or anything near it. I know the amount of development involved in setting up a race car and its a continual challenge. What you need to do is talk to the owner about its setup to ascertain if its suitable for your racing requirements.

      Wow, such insight from an erudite scholar. Had it not been for your free sage council, I was going to start my own LMP Hypercar team based solely around this Audi.
