[s-cars] Dirt cheap allroads (was damaged allroad)

[hoog23 at aol.com]

Yes, I've been noticing used Allroads are dirt cheap here.  Saw two (6-speeds) in NY/CT craigslist this weekend for less than $17k.  
 
I guess once the airbags in the suspension crap out and biffy/muffy pay oodle's of cash at the stealer they decide they would rather have a lexus or acura before something else goes wrong.

Are they talking NZ dollars, there, Sam?  No matter, the seller has a  
mighty inflated
opinion of his vehicle, its present value, and its roadworthy  
condition.  Or is it just
possible that, as an off-road vehicle, you won't license it to drive  
on the roads?  :-)

I don't think you can have a happy experience with a vehicle once the  
airbags have
fired.   Not even a lot of good parts left with the transmission  
cracked and the engine
had a little problem with the valves and pistons clashing.  Sits a  
little low, does it?  How
much does that airbag suspension cost to repair?

By comparison, check the audiworld.com vehicle listings for the US.   
How much is
shipping to NZ, and what are the problems and costs importing from  
North America?
Audi certified '01 allroads sell for less than $20K US with 50K miles  
or less.
