You get outa here with that logic bullshit.

Agreed, my frame flex just helps me keep traction in turns.....and the doors shut when I have it jacked up...

OK, OK... I will expand my search into anything that suits my needs of being VERY reliable, AWD, good cargo space, and has decent ground clearance... and a manual transmission. I guess that includes things other than T44 avants :( It'd be nice if the price was less than the amount my Cayenne will depreciate in one year of use too

Oh and that includes 540i touring 6 speeds with awd (that'd be a real diamond in the rough)

Want my pearl 98 A6 when I'm done with the TDI swap?

hmmmmmmmmmm

Not sure I'd get very excited about it, but maybe? Depends on the details.

chaloux · Post by **chaloux** » Fri Feb 27, 2015 11:12 pm

Well it'll be a like-factory swap since I have both cars. But essentially a super clean pearl a6 with the 5 cylinder TDI and TDI 6 speed. If nothing else it will sound beastly. Moves "okay" with around 180hp/300ftlb. Will have s car seats and steering wheel.

Project thread Matt? I'm sure that'd be helpful when it comes time to sell. I could be interested in that, but not sure becuase of reliability concerns with a swapped car.

Nevermind, the A6 was a piece of shit lol. Ruuuuuuuuust. I'm going to try to offload it somehow.

I think I may have found another candidate. More info will come as I get more details. Better get used to gold...

So who wants to go look at a 200 avant in Exeter, NH for me? I think that's not far from Marc's place...

NOBODY!

Lol Marc is going to do it!

Post by **EDIGREG** » Thu Mar 12, 2015 1:59 pm

Don't do it Marc!!

are we sure it isnt just a pile of rust that roughly resembles a 200 avant?

I know of this car and met the owner about 6 yrs ago when a group of enthusiasts did a Mt. Washington hill climb. Marc was there as well. It was a pretty clean 3B from what I recall back 'then'. Tan interior IIRC.

I'll see if I can find it...

Alpine white. I'm definitely not selling it, I've just been a little financially delayed from making any big moves. Tires and detailing today... Hoping for suspension and exhaust soon, at the very least before the Leavenworth drive on Father's Day weekend.

Thanks for the info guys! Looking forward to the detailed report from Marc.

Another option, if only it was an avant :(

Damn that looks nice. I might have to consider that... Thanks!

Email sent. I like that color much better than gold lol.

I dunno, the seller only has a high school education

Looks clean, go for it!
