[s-cars] S6 Avant Purchase

[Bruce Mendel]

Hey all. Long time no talk.

I've been busy getting my '01 S4 track ready. So far, so good....boost,
downpipes/exhaust, chip, suspension, big reds, wheels, blah blah blah. All
was well till I faded the big reds at Summit Point, so now I have another
project!

Anyhow, might be in market for S6 Avant, under 100K (miles, that is), clean
body/interior, color open, modded or stock is fine. Checked ebay,
traderonline, s-cars.org, etc.

Anyone know of a good deal?

Bruce
