How many C5 RS6s are left?

The engine alone is worth 4500, but obviously you need to deal with parting it out of you want to go that path. Is the front bumper intact? In any case, you probably have $10K in just the big parts. I hate to see them parted out, but hopefully it helps keep other cars on the road.

For those questioning repair bills, try and ignore them and think of the long term cost/year of ownership. I used to worry about this with my supercharged 91 NSX. Consider these numbers (ballparked)

Bought in 2015 as a ratrod, for $23500
Spent about $33k (eeek!) over 5 years
Sold earlier this year for $41500

So total cost of ownership was $15k, which is $3k/year for a real head turning supercar, a blast to drive etc etc
Compare that to buying a new or used Camry. Does anyone have comparable numbers? But anything more than $200/month and I know what I would rather drive.

The point of this is that the downside of driving older (desirable) vehicles is increased maintenance. The upside is no depreciation, or possibly even appreciation if you are lucky.

I'm in the hole somewhat with my RS6 right now, but over 3-5 years I reckon the numbers will be similar
