Dan McBoost's 2009 3.0T A6 Avant
Posted: Wed Jun 14, 2023 11:45 am
2021 - 07/24 - Bought home the A6 Avant from Chicago.
I wanted something with more room than the A8L but also more fun than the A8L. I was looking at a bunch of things, but tried finding an A6 avant with the supercharged v6 (which is quite the power plant). It is quickly becoming the new audi engine that the old school 5 cylinder parts companies have switched to.
I found one in cuse, but it was more whipped than I wanted to get into. I could not find another with that engine within 500 miles and was onto looking for other wagons and even SUVs just for practicality. I asked a buddy about a Mercedes wagon that was on cars and bids. He asked me, what about A6 avants... lol. BUT he then sent me a link to one in chicago, over 700 miles away. I was not that interested in the color (quite silver) but once I called and got the VIN, then asked audi for the specs of the car I found out this was a past CPO car and was LOADED. A Prestige premium plus car with extra options.
This is a 2009, the first of only three years of the facelift cars. A total of 1066 over those three years with that engine in all of america.

Three buddies and I drove my A8L out there Friday, stayed the night. Went to the dealer in the AM, looked it over in person, scanned it and everything was good. It needs a few parts and some paint to be where I want it, but it is a great candidate so the parts are flowing in already.
The exterior:
The interior:
Driver seat (great condition!):
Door and wood accents:
The roof, it is all ameretto and I love it:
Let the fixes and mods begin.
