No luck in the classifieds, thought I would ask: anyone looking to sell an (edit: 00 - 01) A6 avant? - TwoSeven 2015-01-06 17:50:40 (227 views)
- great, now my A.D.D. wants to build an '07-'11 allroad from an s6, adding a lift ... ;-) - Zaphod A8 2015-01-07 10:53:48 (173 views)
- Funny, I've been thinking of almost the exact same thing. Watching a couple with the 3.2 though. - Sentinelist 2015-01-07 01:15:53 (176 views)
  - That link isn't working... and I did think about an E-class too. Wiring harness from hell though... - TwoSeven 2015-01-07 06:57:22 (170 views)

      - Damnit Chris, I didn't want to spend that much until I clicked that link...   -  TwoSeven  2015-01-07 15:58:10 (174 views)
        
        Yeah I know, but it's pretty incredible value. :) Hard to believe that's 10-yrs old now...  -  Sentinelist  2015-01-08 02:06:24 (175 views)
        
        I think this is a good direction to consider. I'd take a higher mileage C6 over an older C5.  -  4Driver4  2015-01-08 09:55:55 (179 views)
        
        I'm in Boston - I assume this is the car you saw?   -  TwoSeven  2015-01-08 11:44:33 (175 views)
        
        That's the car. If you are in the area, drive it. One of the quicker 3.2's I've driven.  -  4Driver4  2015-01-08 18:42:00 (148 views)
        
        Can you use regular unleaded with the 2.8? 3.2?   -  Sentinelist  2015-01-09 22:49:58 (158 views)
        
        91 octane minimum, just like everything else worth driving on four wheels save maybe a lawnmower...   -  TwoSeven  2015-01-10 07:33:31 (146 views)
- I'd stay away from the 3.0 - 4Driver4 2015-01-06 18:47:41 (185 views)
  - 2nd. For those years I think the NA V6 only came in 3.0L - GreenMachine 2015-01-06 19:47:26 (181 views)
    - Interesting - what issues have you guys had with the 3.0? - TwoSeven 2015-01-07 06:55:27 (218 views)
      - Do a search or ask any tech/shop that works on them. No one likes the 3.0  -  4Driver4  2015-01-07 10:59:24 (184 views)
        
        Yeah, I did come across a lot of talk about that - I was hoping that replacement units...  -  TwoSeven  2015-01-07 11:15:57 (204 views)
        
        Our 99 A6 sedan went 315k miles on the original engine and trans without major repair.  -  4Driver4  2015-01-07 11:29:23 (215 views)
        
        I am really glad I asked and grateful for your insight! Anyone have a mint C5 2.8 for sale? Thanks!!   -  TwoSeven  2015-01-07 11:31:21 (183 views)
        
        BTW, we traded the car in at 315k. Tech's wife has been driving it since without issue.   -  4Driver4  2015-01-07 11:40:22 (182 views)
