[V8] meandering thoughts on a mild Saturday

[Bob Williams]

I have purchased two A6 3.0 Avants, since my V8 '93 accident. I just  
had the '02 declared a total by Nationwide because a deer was chased  
out of the woods by the DOT mowers, at 12 noon! The aluminum hood has  
been replaced and the rest of the damages were limited to an AC  
condensor and some plastic surrounding the radiator. It is an A6  
bargain for sale, directly, off the list. So, I shopped for another  
A6 3.0 Avant on Ebay and I learned a lot!

  Paypal no longer protects car transactions. I met a creep called  
Autoxcar on Ebay that preys on this little known fact. As another  
said, "I was bidding on a vehicle on Ebay and followed the directions  
by calling the seller before bidding. Chris Carey was that person. He  
offered to cancel the auction and sell the vehicle to me at a set  
price. He then sent me a Paypal agreement from Carey Motors, which  
was not the name of the business that was selling the vehicle. I  
googled Chris Carey and found some bad reviews. So I called him and  
asked him about it and it was then that he showed his true colors and  
became an abusive and rude person. I would recommend steering clear  
of this person." Don't let a Seller send you a Paypal invoice. That  
takes you Off-Ebay. Same goes for Craigslist cars, you could get a  
good one, but there is no feedback.

I did get a good car, an '04 A6 Avant and I would recommend looking  
at the non-Allroad 3.0s. If anyone wants a load of V8 parts, either  
'90-'91 or '92-93 let me know directly. I will still try to get one  
of my three V8s back on the road.  Bob
