[s-cars] RS6 going to auction

[Theodore Chen]

dave,

got an ax to grind?

if i find somebody with a dealer's license who is willing to buy the 
car for me for a broker's fee, what's the problem?  if this competition
eats into the profits of the dealers who set up shops as you describe,
then market forces dictate that they will find some other way to do business,
including buying cars for customers on request.  if i scan craigslist,
i see a few ads from people with dealer's licenses who are willing to
buy a car at auction for a fee.  i'm not going to go get a dealer's license
to buy cars for myself because i wouldn't be doing it very often, and i
have other things to do.  but i'm willing to pay a broker for his time.

i think there's a market for both.  there's a significant risk in buying
a car at auction stemming from the fact that you don't get to check out the
car beforehand.  a used car dealer generally absorbs that risk - if they're
honest, anyway.

in this case, RS6s are rare and hard to find, so your best bet of getting
one is probably through the auction.  that's how this thread got started.
nobody's talking about garden variety A6s and A8s.
