    I am sorry to hear the news.

    Why does 15 total the car?

    Neg the buyback and work em down.

    Many on the forum will buy the car from you. Including myself

    Save it from the crusher

    15k totals the car because it's around their percentage of value to repair threshold.


    I'm still contemplating a buyback. I'm confident it can be repaired to my satisfaction and at a fraction of the quoted price. Pretty sure it would have a salvage title though.


    The only hang up is I'm not looking for another project and I'm out of garage space at the moment.


    As mentioned above, my other project car right now is an '87 Tbird Turbo Coupe (my first car) that I swapped in a 351W back in 2004. Currently rebuilding/replacing the entire brake system on it when time allows. The other side of the garage is being used to store my dad's '77 Pontiac Can Am since he doesn't have space at his place. And one of my motorcycles, 2004 Aprilia RSVR Factory, splits it's time between the garage and walkout basement.


    Hmmm, maybe I could swing a storage unit for the RS6 while I gather parts.....

    I do believe I guessed $13-15K, and given that the Price is Right is the gold standard, I do declare myself the winner. ;-)

    Unfortunately, bethridg and 905593 are the losers here. Best of luck with the endeavor. I say cash out and get yourself another RS6. Sell the hulk to someone here who will revive it, maybe someone looking to do a monster build/manual conversion.

    So their labor is $2233/44= $51/hr?????? Seems really cheap.

    Reply with quote button not working for me...

    $51/hr is the insurance-negotiated rate. Same shop same car individual bringing it in would rate ~$119/hr or so.

    OP - Sorry to hear she's toast, buyback and flip here for profit, put towards the next RS6 + mods.

    That, and no doubt if they were given the green light to fix it it would go up by AT LEAST 10%, probably more like 20%. I'm still amazed what it costs in retail to put these cars back to original.

    Most likely black book value minus actual repair costs. Black book ~85% of KBB Trade-In, Actual repair cost being all non-OE parts... I'd guess buyback somewhere in the 10k range, out of a 20k total check

    also, Bethridg, can you update your location so others are aware of your loc?

    $8k max buyback. Probably more like $5k.

    Haha. You're funny Dave. Looked to me like your guess has a 2k range.

    I'll just guess a specific dollar amount. 7,728.

    Yeah, I got shafted on "price is right" rules the first go around.

    So instead of every bid one dollar apart.....we get 500 blocks. Closest without going over.

    How many times have you changed oil in the snowblower this year?
