If you thought Saab’s 9-3 naming was slightly confusing, you need a DKW 3=6. Post-war Auto Union, which would eventually become Audi, revived the DKW name for certain vehicles. This was one of their answers to the VW Beetle (before Audi was acquired by VW).
Here we have 900cc of two-stroke, water-cooled, inline three cylinder manliness! These are unusual enough not to have an easily-assigned value. Our friends at Hagerty, for example, do not list this model.
There’s little info in the ad, but plenty of warning, as the car has been stored since 1967! You’ll have to decide whether $3,500 is reasonable, given the condition. At a minimum, the seller’s shop looks like a fun place to visit…
