FYI, our S6 Avant sold last weekend for the asking.  I think it was a very
nice example given the mileage, and believe that we probably could've gotten
more if we'd been willing to sit on it longer, advertise, etc.  It's hard to
assign a value to a rare beast with such a loyal following.  Thanks to those
that expressed interest.  We'll miss it (I'm already missing those
Recaro's)!

Also wanted the list to know - I was experiencing some strange behavior with
the rear wiper not parking consistently, and backup lights not working.
Didn't connect the two until a couple weeks ago.  Our mechanic determined
that the wiring harness to the rear hatch was pinched/frayed/shorted inside
the sheath.  Addressing that fixed the other issues immediately.  In
retrospect I should've thought of something like that right away.  Apologies
if this is well known already; I didn't search the archives, but thought the
discovery might benefit current owners.
