Bad news update. almost got the car completely sorted, last step in drivetrain issue was to swap out the main driveshaft. 2 days before it was due to go into the shop I got rearended hard on I-95 in Miami, estimate was 50mph hit ( I had stopped in time for the tailback). 300 mile drive to get there, finally started to fall in love with her....

Haggling this out with the insurance company, not good as never got the stack of receipts from the previous owner as he promised. They offered me $11,300, we shall see what the revised offer is as that was based on a stock RS6 in good condition. Mine was very good to excellent and is of course modded, and I have written up all the mods. I saw a thread somewhere that estimates $8k in parts to do the 6 speed swap but can't find it - does anyone know where that is?

Sooooo, if anyone wants a set of new Michelin Pilot Sports on 19" Rotiforms and can move fast and give me their old rims, PM a.s.a.p. Car is in Jacksonville, FL.

Not clear if I can buy the vehicle back. What would you do and what would a good buyback price be? Motor is worth $5k? Tranny $1500? Black interior?

Thx
