Will an A6 go 20 years?

[cobram at juno.com]

You're already worried about what will happen when you make the final
payment on it?  It'll probably be worth $500 (2001 dollars corrected) by
then.  Although the more and more toys they keep putting into the cars, I
can't see these toys being fixed or maintained as the cars get "over the
hump".  Most likely most of the extras in these and similar cars will be
jury rigged to work, or deactivated altogether.  Only looney-tunes like a
few on this list will probably keep everything working up to snuff. 
There was a lister a few years back worried about painting the phillips
carpet bolts the EXACT same color the factory did on the type 44's.......
