FS: '95 S6 in Reno, Nevada

[calexlee@us.ibm.com]

Howdy, all:

I was up at Reno last weekend to gut out my crashed 86 5ktq
(boohoo...), which has been at temporary rest at the boneyard
next to the Dick Donnelly VW dealership, and I spotted this
S6 in their lot.  It was a '95, with 36k miles, emerald green,
light tan leather interior, sports seats, and other options that
you can think of, like phone in arm rest, blah, blah, blah...

It was a fresh lease return to Dick Donnelly Audi down the block,
they brought it over to the VW service dept for detailing.  Since
I happened to need to run over to the Audi dealership to get
something real quick, I asked them if they would allow me to use
this car to run such a quick errand, and they did!  So I hopped in
with a VW sales guy just to drive over to next door.  But then
of course I *HAD* to miss a left turn and had to go further down
the main road to an intersection to make a u-turn.(:-) Very smooth
indeed - I meant the car of course.

So that was that.  And during the next couple of hours as I was
taking out my IA modified ECU and wastegate spring (Thanks to
Steve Buchholz for the instructions) and assorted other stuffs,
Tim, the VW sales guy who earlier accompanied me for the ride,
kinda stopped by the boneyard a couple of times, and we did
chitchat a little bit.  And of course I told him of my desire
for a 91 200q20v as my next vehicular companion. (anybody
out there letting go of one?)

By the end of the day, as I was done with the dirty work and
went in to wash myself up, Tim invited me to consider the S6
as an alternative replacement and I *almost* caved in to the
temptation of driving an S6, but only almost.  I ended up
having a nice chat with Tim and his boss Shawn.  And here's
what I heard about the car:

It was a local lease return, and they felt so confident about
the car - of course they would have to, they did all the services
for its entire life - that they would offer a 3 month 3000 mile
warranty with no charge.  As far as I could tell, the car was
in mint condition.  Bluebooked at ~$37k.  But maybe they think
I am a quattro insider, or maybe they saw me carrying my own
bluebook in my pocket, they did not try to bullshit me and were
quite reasonable in discussing the pricing.  So if you are
interested, give them a buzz at 702-852-3300.

As usual, I have no affiliation, financial or otherwise, with
them, just thought I might pass this along to fellow q-ers.
