A6 Quattro Availability?

[Michael Spiers <mikes@specnet.com>]

I've been tryin' to con a friend into buying one of the new A6's.  We went to
the dealer yesterday to look 'em over, and found five or six A6's, but no
Quattro's.  The schmuck we talked to seemed to indicate they didn't really plan
on getting any A6 Quattro's in, something about not much availability or
something.  Now, if I can con my friend into this A6, I'll be inheriting (for a
small fee of course) his '87 5kTQ, pearl, w/ Fuchs rims & sport seats, suede
leather interior.  I'm quite motivated here.  Anyhow, is the sales jerk just
giving the runaround on the Quattro's 'cuz he wants to sell what's on his lot,
or is there really a shortage of the A6 Quattro's?  My friend would prefer the
S6 Quattro, but spending more on a car than he did on his house (20 years ago)
doesn't really appeal to him, plus you can't find the dumb things anyhow.  Any
clues on the A6 Quattro's?  TIA!
