That is very good and clean condition an deserves to be preserved like that but I don't think it has much collector appeal, it's the S4/S6 2.2T and V8 4.2 that would be more desirable.

I used to have 2 2.8 quattros, 1 auto saloon and 1 manual estate, my friends have had 2l auto estate and 2.6 auto saloon. It does not make much sense using it as daily runabout 2.6 and auto is probably the worst drivetrain combination for C4 platform. With 150 BHP it's not much faster than 2l but a lot heavier especially with the auto box and pretty much the same fuel consumption as 2.8. Also it does not have 4 wheel drive, I know it does not matter form many people but for me Audi without quattro is just a Volkswagen.

You know roberto looks after his A8 so it makes sense to sell it to him before he changes his mind and get to another runabout.

Does it have green coolant? Audi would never have put that in the car!
G11 blue/green is the right coolant for it, don't forget we are talking about facelifted Audi 100 here which started at 1990, I pretty much doubt G12 coolant was even invented back then. Most of the C4 paltform cars I have seen have had G11 coolant including 2 of mine. I have only seen pink coolant in late 1997 C4 2.8 30V engine but don't know if it was like that from new or if somebody have changed to it later.
