RE: s6

derek et al,

it simple: supply and demand.  if folks are buying for that price, that's
the market.  punters either "meet the market" or go away.

me, i'm still trying to figure out the rs2's for sale in the uk for 35k gbp.
that's a (4 year old) car which listed new in 1995 for 45k gbp.  22%
depreciation over 4 years ain't bad....

go figure...

	Look.  I've said it before.  The S4/S6 are kinda neat.  And yeah
they'll go
	fast.  But you aren't going to be able to tell me that $35k is
rational for
	a 4 year old used wagon.  Not when I can buy a one year old A8 for
$39
	(Yeah, they're around).  And if you argue that the S6 is sportier I
can't
	really argue, but it ain't NO sports car.  If you argue that it's
reasonably
	priced, I will argue profusely.  2 S6 sedans in CO right now for
around
	$25k.  Why the hell is the wagon so expensive?  It's a joke.  It's
the same
	(heavier) car!
