Well, I know that at least from '92 and up, the 100 model (i.e. A6 body
style) was available with quattro and automatic. The only powerplant
available was the 12v V-6, up until the new A6 this year, with the 30v V-6.

There were some '92 and up that had quattro and a 5-speed, but they are
rare. Most were automatics. That bodes well for your parents finding one
rather easily.

Good luck.
