Quietly looking for A4/A6 avant-questions

[Andrew Duane USG]

Hairy green toads from Mars made TM say:

> Can someone verify that there were no 2000 A6 2.8 Avant quattro 5-speed

Well, I don't have "actual" information from Audi, but I spent quite a
long time in my quest for one of the few '00 A6 2.8 Saloons with a 5-spd.
I was told by the dealer that sold me mine that he never heard of any
Avants at all in that line with a 5-speed. If there were, I would have
bought one. I liked my '95 Avant, just couldn't take the autobox.
