You live in Colorado. Those cars US sales figures were heavily dependent on markets with extreme snowy conditions. Rockies/ western slope, New England and Washington state still have a disproportionate number of older AWD cars running around because that's where they were sold and remained since new. Take for instance another rather obscure 80's AWD the VW quantum syncro wagon. There were very few imported to the US for four years. If you wanted to find one the only place that Craigslist routinely has then for sale is Colorado, Utah, Washington etc. Mountain cars like those didn't survive outside of those markets because they didn't necessarily serve a purpose in say ...Florida. It's obvious why you see so many still running around out there. I hadn't seen a quantum syncro in the wild since the last time I visited Colorado when I saw three in a week. Here in VA I know of a handful of IX's but most are nasty or being parted. Mine was a survivor, a daily driver for someone who cared for it but needed to move on from the constant attention it commanded. I looked up where it was originally sold a few weeks back, Schomp BMW in Colorado.
