Scotto Carcaine? 1987 Audi 4000 Quattro CS Lewis Edition

If you haven't gotten hooked on Hoonigan's YouTube videos yet, it could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe you think the incessant donuts and "scumbag" antics are tiring. Maybe you're not a 16 year old kid, and can see that their target demographic is someone who can't yet legally drive. I have to admit I wasn't the biggest fan of their brand of tomfoolery until I was a guest on the show, with our Black Iron Racing E36 Camper Lemons car...and I got to know these guys a bit... then I kinda got hooked. It has since become evident Hoonigan co-founder Brian Scotto has a thing for 5-cylinder Audis, which is a bit unexpected. Then I stumble across this craigslist ad for what is most likely one of his "someday" vehicles, since the photos are clearly from the Donut Garage parking lot. Check out this 1987 Audi 4000 Quattro CS for sale in Long Beach, CA for $2000 via craigslist.

15k: Shark Fin Soup: 1974 BMW 3.0 CS Coupe

The BMW E9 generation coupe is a gorgeous collectible classic, but prices can be affordable if you know where to look.  Part of the reason was that BMW sold 30,000 of the Karmann coachbuilt beauties and that means there are plenty for almost every budget.  Find this 1974 BMW 3.0 CS coupe currently bidding on ebay for a very reasonable $13,001 with a few hours to go, located in Beverly Hills, CA.

2k: Unintended Depreciation: 1987 Audi 5000 CS Turbo Quattro

This week Ford was hit with an unintended acceleration related lawsuit, and while Toyota has recently been the victim of such slanderous claims, it was the mid-eighties Audi 5000 that was the original scapegoat for bad drivers who ran over nuns, dogs, children and desperately wanted to avoid incarceration.  To heap insult on top of injury, Audi owners who hadn't killed anyone recently sued Audi USA for loss in resale value due to the widespread media attention about the issue.  How can Audi owners claim that bad press caused the depreciation when Audis have always suffered from sub-par build quality, complex Rube Goldberg systems for just about everything, and expensive routine repairs, all of which leads to residual value dropping faster than stock prices in a company that mislabels IEDs as IUDs?  The rapid post dealer lot price drop has not gone unnoticed to us at the Daily Turismo and we love cheap used Audis.  Find this 1987 Audi 5000 CS Turbo Quattro for sale in San Jose, CA for $1,800 via craigslist.  Thanks to tip from Kaibeezy T.
