There seems to be quite a few allroads around.  Perhaps just coming off
leases.  Longevity of suspensions is highly suspect too IME. Big drawback
aestetically are the bumpers which are kinda ugly unless you get a black car
to have em blend in.
And for some reason the cargo area looks smaller than my avant?

We might go for a S6 Avant CPO as well, depending on how
the B6 chassis S4 Avant turns out and I'm not really sold on
the reliability of the allroad's suspension.

Problem is, S6 Avants are ultra-rare. Dad needs the utility
of a wagon so the A6 4.2 is out. :-(

Otherwise, might have to look at Volvo V70R AWD and the
MBZ E430 4Matic (if it comes as a wagon). If BMW made a
5 series wagon with the X5 drivetrain, that would be the one-
530xi wagon.
