Audi 100 & 200 & 5000 Submodels
The Audi 100, and its North American 5000 counterpart, represented a major step forward for the brand. Introduced across several generations (C1 to C4), it's best known for pioneering the use of the inline 5-cylinder engine and the advanced Quattro all-wheel-drive system. The 200 was the upmarket, high-performance version, often featuring a turbocharger that made it a formidable executive sedan in its day. In the U.S., the 5000's reputation was unfairly damaged by the "unintended acceleration" controversy, which suppressed values for decades.
Collectors are now rediscovering these cars, particularly the turbocharged Quattro variants. The 200 20V Turbo Quattro and the 5000 CS Turbo Quattro are the most desirable models, thanks to their connection to Audi's rally dominance and their advanced engineering. These cars offered a unique blend of performance, luxury, and all-weather capability that was rare for the period. Their sleek, aerodynamic styling, especially on the C3 generation, still looks modern.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust on subframes and suspension mounting points, as these areas weren't always galvanized like the main body.
- On turbo models, look for signs of oil leaks around the valve cover and turbo seals. A healthy engine is crucial, as parts for the 10V and 20V 5-cylinders can be expensive.
- Test the Quattro system's differential locks. The vacuum-operated system can develop leaks, leading to failure.
- Inspect all electronics. Digital dashboards, trip computers, and automatic climate control systems are common failure points and can be difficult to repair.
- Review maintenance records carefully. Consistent service history is the best indicator of a well-kept car, especially for complex systems like the hydraulic brake booster.
