Here she is day when I got her Monday!

Sorry for the flithy pictures. All I did was run it through the car wash.


Within the last year and a half the car has had the following maintenance:

-Upper radiator hose
-Expansion tank
-Water pump
-Serp belt
-control arm bushings
-Rear tail light sockets
-front brakes Pads/rotors
-4 new tires
-Transmission fluid
-Rear diff fluid


Plans are just to get it to near show room condition again and have an amazing vehicle to drive which includes these. I will be ordering it all next week. I want to keep this car OEM+

-Washer Fluid Cap (missing)
-Front control arms
-Both front fog lights and their surrounds
-Valve cover gasket (slightly leaking but I want to do it anyway.)
-Sending the steering wheel to Coby wheel
-Left front wheel bearing
-Refinish all 4 wheels due to curbing. No bends though
-Maybe clear corners?
-Replace both broken grills with OEM ones

Chris, was that the zhp with really low miles that was the 1 owner car?

Love the M3 though. Would not mind seeing more images of it.

The ZHP has 119k on it and yes it is a 1 owner. I work in sales for an Audi dealership and I saw this pull up and told my manager I wanted to buy it when we took it in on trade so I got amazingly lucky! I gave up on the hunt and this one just fell into my lap. I didn't need a car but the price was WAY to good.

The low mile one was a different OB one but with NB interior that I initially was looking to purchase about a year ago but we couldn't come to an agreement.

I will get more pictures of the M3. It was originally from AZ and you can eat off the underside!

Congrats! It looks like it has both packages as well (Cold Weather, Premium). Your car is the ZHP sedan equivalent of my late 2003 330Ci, loved the color combo.

+1 on the M3

Yes! I have the window sticker for the ZHP! Crazy that it was 44k new in 05 but I guess that is following current inflation.

Thank you! I actually work at Audi Minneapolis (Golden Valley) but I live in Woodbury.

Welcome! Nice looking car! Love the E36 as well. It looks perfect!

Oh okay, I live just a few blocks from the maplewood Audi, so I figured I'd ask!
