    Another RS6 in a salvage auction

    Low miles and certainly repairable.

    I've taken the front of this car apart close to a dozen times in various capacities, and it's difficult to believe threre is $14K in damage based upon the photos and that the car starts, runs, and all airbags are in tact. Wish I was closer to places like this. Well, maybe my wallet doesn't.... ack
    '02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down

    From how the pictures look, I don't see more than 7-8k worth of repairs/replacements including the lower door molding and a new bumper skin. Maybe the engine cradle is compromised?

    Makes it seem like the easiest route to getting a fair value out of the RS6 I'm trying to sell would be to let one of the local dumbshit drivers hit me instead of taking evasive maneuvers like I have to do about every other day... but just my luck it'd be someone without insurance and I'd get dinged for having to use un/under-insured motorist coverage instead.

    Just wonderful how VA drivers aren't required to have insurance.
