rs3

[NIck Miller]

I will have to really get in one sometime.  That and a W12 phaeton still,
too.  Either one would be really a fun project/toy in a few years down the
road.  Im feeling these sorts of cars will not be the most reliable of
models down the road and prices will reflect, but if you can keep it running
it'd be a rewarding weekend driver.

Sorta like the V8 or A8,  50k new,  dropped bellow 10k in about 12yrs.
