Re: S4 buying gotchas

The S4/S6 FAQ on the S-cars site is at:

	http://www.audi-s-cars.com/s4s6/faq.htm

	It includes both model year differences and a writeup on what to look out
for, along with lots of upgrade information, etc.

	On values- at the Manheim, PA Exotic/Highline sale Thursday:
	95 S6, Pearl/Ecru, 42K mi, went for over $29K.
	95 S6 Avant, Emerald/Ecru, 30K miles, $28K.

	These are wholsale prices less auction fee, etc. So, at least the S6s are
still holding pretty well for a 4 year old car. This may change when the
twin-turbo and V8 equipped A6s start trickling in, but then again maybe
not, since you won't be able to get a stick with a A6 V8 (tip only) in the US.
