[s-cars] Looking for a urS6 avant

[John Karasaki]

Guys,

Our coupe quattro is a pain with our infant son.  Our 1999.5 A4 avant isn't 
much better.

I am looking for a 1995.5 S6 avant.  There is one here for sale in 
Portland.  I looked at, drove and viewed all the repair records.  The 
owners are very nice.

Unfortunately, the car isn't.  It is red, with the wicked VW/Audi red paint 
fade.  The family is into ski racing, so it has seen alot of mountain 
time.  The ski and rack roof damage is extensive.  The paint is worse than 
any Audi I have ever owned, and I have owned many "parts cars".  IMHO, it 
needs a repaint.

There is a bit of differed maintenance as well (timing belt and all that 
entails, clutch, shocks, steering rack, bushings, etc.).

He's firm at $12000 which I think is too high for a ski car.  I'm I all 
wet?  Mileage is almost 160k.

I have not seen the two Avants that are for sale in California in person, 
but from the Audifans ads, they seemed in excellent condition for around $14k.

What's the going rate for these rare beasts?  And more importantly, does 
anyone know of one that's in great shape and for sale at a reasonable price?

Thanks!

John
