Audi 50 Cars For Sale

Show search form Audi 5000 (Audi 100 in the USA was sold under the Audi 5000 index) is a front-wheel drive vehicle with excellent dynamic characteristics, handling and comfort during long driving.

The Audi 5000 (044-series) was only sold in the United States from October 1983 to 1988 - these sedans can be distinguished by the level of equipment, which included a dual four-headlight system, power windows and mirrors, a sunroof mounted in the roof, automatic transmission, cupholders (only on request), air conditioning and catalytic neutralexhaust gas analyzer. The Audi 5000 met the US FTC's 1983 emission and fuel consumption limits. In the 1989 model year, the modernized Audi 100 and Audi 200 were already under their own indices. Of course; the image of the Audi 100 as a prestigious import mid-size vehicle played an important role in successful sales.

The 44 series station wagon under the traditional name Avant appeared in March 1983 and still surprises many with its extravagance. A very flat tailgate for a station wagon has reduced air turbulence, which improved aerodynamic characteristics (Cx = 0.34) and reduced rear window contamination. The trunk was almost not damaged - its capacity with the rear seats unfolded is 1800 liters.

In January 1985, the all-wheel drive version of the Quattro (440-type) appeared on the market, which was facilitated by the traditional Audi longitudinal layout of the engine in the engine compartment. The real top model with a similar drive system was the Avant Quattro station wagon, which anticipated with its appearance the direction of cars for outdoor activities.

After 1985 the company started to producemachines with fully galvanized bodies. Therefore, traces of rust in those places where there are no chips and abrasive wear (wheel arches, sills, bottom) indicate that the car was released earlier. Moreover, on later models, such places are additionally protected by branded fenders and door sills.

The reconstruction, carried out in January 1988, somewhat smoothed out the angular lines of the body, and the SS, CS and CD indices became a thing of the past. There were recessed door handles, from bumpers, edging of taillights and side moldings,without chrome.
