RE: S6 (aka $6)

It's whatever the market will bear. Considering how hard it is to find an S6
Avant, it looks like it'll bear mid-$30K prices...

Bummer.

John, 

Welcome to the light.

RE:  S6 Pricing.  I'm far from laughing at $24k.  Pick up any of the
published "prcie guides" at the Barnes and Noble and your pricing will be
pretty close to suggested MSRP for the 1996.  You'll find some sedans around
for that.  However, it is more common to expect around $26~29k asking.  Now
try this...find the 1996 A6q sedan.  Few around for $19k, most around
$21-22k.  How much of a premium did the S6 take at new MSRP?  $4-5k?
Interesting how that gap has grown larger over the years.  Now take a look
at most wagon prices.  It's a very bad joke.  CA dealers asking $35k for
these 4/5 year old cars.  Give me a break.

Now, if I develop S6 buyers rage and wish to pound on my chest and yell "I'm
mad as hell and not going to take it anymore" is that wrong of me?  ;-)
