[s-cars] RE: New Audi S6

Pizzo couldn't catch me with an industrial fishing dragnet.
 
Sport as in sport exhaust I believe.  I think that was an option.
 
I've heard that on the slushbox, tho my friend's interest is not in the
'car'...
 
Thanks tho.

Paul-
RS6s are going from $54.5-59k at auction, only 4 sold since November,
mileage ranges from 41k to 12k. In other words, it's a total crapshoot.

Retail is going to be approx $63k.

Is there a sport package for the RS6?!?

I hope you like slushboxes- the gearbox lets the car down. It doesn't
allow for enough engine braking if you're trying to hustle the car
through the corners. The transmission doesn't shift fast enough either.
Great car for covering long distances- if you want to pass someone,
there are very few cars in the road that can keep you from passing them.

At least Pizzo won't be able to catch you on I-84 if you're in a RS6.

Speaking of which...

Anyone here have insight as to what an '03 w/ ~ 40k on it is currently
doing?  Blue / gray / sport.  If I could find one in the low 50s is that

a good deal?

OK, it's not for me, my buddy might score it if it's a screamin deal.  I
figured the car to be maybe what $56-58k retail?  Maybe $60 on the high?
Thoughts?

TIA.
