He owns one, that he's had since new, and it's a very, very, good one. Pretty exceptional. He also owns a S2 Avant, which is a rare one. They both get driven a lot.
Sounds like he's looking for a lower mileage, A6 3.0T Avant, from the right part of the country. Those are very nice daily drivers. Great highway car, set up well, nice snow/ice car. He had one, sold it, and regrets it to this day. They are out there, but he does not want one with 275K miles.
Will be interested to see how this sale goes. The S6 crowd normally shows up to try to help drive the prices up on their cars. But I don't see any of them buying this one. The only exceptional thing is the mileage, but even then, not a big deal. There are a lot doing well at 250K and much more miles.
Great car if you like to roll your sleeves up. And, very strong on line communities to help. My brother, son, and I have all owned them. More than one in some cases. My son is always looking for the right one. If you really follow them, you get to know the cars. This car, that color, in that city, owned by that guy.
You either love them, or you just don't get it! I think if you saw my brother's parts bin, which now has been whittled down to include just two parts cars, you'd be shocked! Some parts are easy to source, others not so much.
