S5 passenger side front strut needed ASAP

Hit a curb and blew a strut, need a strut/shock/spring assembly very badly as the car is not driveable. Will pay a good amount of $ for it since shops take about 3 days to get it to me and I need to get to work.

Please let me know,

There's an S5 GXL that may be at Crazy Rays still... They let stuff go for cheap. Get the 5 lug conversion from it.

If it's still there, it's got the front end already in the air from me pulling the engine.

Go round the Beltway up to College park and get on I-95 north. Get off at Rt. 175 and take it East towards Rt.1. (I believe that'll be a right) Turn Right at Rt.1 and go about a mile or two down. Crazy Rays will be on your Left.

The Import section is in the back past the river. THe S5 is all the way to the Right, go down a few rows and it was on the right back two or three cars. It's purple and the hood is destroyed or removed.

Ah, well advance auto came to the rescue as usual lol. 90 bucks and I'll get it by 10am tommorow Just random to have 3 beat to **** struts and 1 random new strut, oh well. Thats good to know though, I was always hoping to find a good parts car in the area in case something broke since its my daily. I had no idea they made these cars purple though lol. I already have 5 lugs and the 4 piston calipers, how is the interior on it? What color? I'd be interested in a lot of interior parts + shifter/boot/****.

thanks for the help

It was resprayed. I forget the original color.

You don't want the shifter boot and ****. It was a two pedal.

Interior is/was maroon. It was in decent shape. Maybe a little dirty from where I threw the P/S pump, A/C compressor, and air pump in the passenger floorboard. But most of the major fluids were drained on the ground.

I saw that, it was still there last weekend. What wheels did it have on it? they weren't there (or they were under it).

Did you get the pressure sensor? I forgot to grab that and I may need an NA S5 pressure sensor unless regrounding mine makes the CEL stop flashing.
