1995 Audi S6 Avant with 44,000 Miles

1995 Audi S6 Avant with 44,000 Miles

Published May 23, 2015 by Carter

I believe in every C4 post I remark that it’s pretty rare to find good example. That’s especially true of the Avants, since even though they enjoy a coveted status amongst Audi fanatics there were only around 300 examples imported originally. Considering that the newest (and the oldest) examples are some 20 years of ski trips old, the likelyhood that you’ll come across a good example is extremely low. Of course, I say that, and last month a remarkably excellent Avant popped up. A one owner silver example with lower miles turned up, and immediately I contacted my family member who has been on the lookout for one. “This is your one chance” I effectively said, since it was the only near perfect silver model I’d seen for sale post-2000. While it didn’t work out in that case, here we are less than a month later; with an even better example of an incredibly rare car:

1993 Audi S4

1993 Audi S4

Published May 11, 2015 by Carter

We’ve recently had some lively discussion regarding what makes a “good” or “average” condition C4 Audi. Long the under-appreciated super sedan, it was only a select few who owned or had owned these cars that really valued them. As with the E28 and E34 M5 and E500, though, a greater appreciation for what was arguably one of Audi’s best-ever products has recently driven value up on the market. This means that some good examples have come up to market – but pricing is sometimes all over the map. We’ve seen $12,000 non-original S6s that compare to equal condition $3,000 S4s; where does the market truly lie on these cars?

Wagon Week 10K Friday: Audimatic S For The People

Wagon Week 10K Friday: Audimatic S For The People

Published May 8, 2015 by Carter

It’s been a while since I wrote up a 10K Friday article; they take some time both in determining the thread, finding the car and then writing them all up. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of inspiration though, and Wagon Week was just that for me. While we’ve covered many of the most popular fast and practical wagons this week, again I’m going to do a bit of an unusual comparison to cover some unloved models that are potential deals: automatic Audi S Avants. So, in today’s comparison we have a B5 S4, a B6 S4, a C5 S4 and to compare values a C4 S6 (the only row-your-own here). Which is the right choice for a fast Audi wagon?

1998 Audi A6 2.8 Quattro Avant

1998 Audi A6 2.8 Quattro Avant

Published April 23, 2015 by Andrew

Growing up in Southern Vermont a lot of people had wagons. My parents first shared vehicle was a beige 1984 Subaru GL, my grandmother had an 1990 Legacy and my aunt and uncle had an 1989 Loyale . There have been a number of Subarus owned in my family since and I’m actually the first of the clan to go for something German, although it was still a wagon. Point is, there was no history of Quattro love in my family, no reason that I should feel such a strong connection to these vehicles. However, as is often the case in the automotive community, there is no rhyme or reason for feeling a certain way about a certain car. When a car works for you, it just works for you and for me such is the case with the C4 A6 Avant.

My first experiences with one of these was with my buddy’s 1996 Casa Blanca A6 Avant spec’d out just like this example. Right away I was nerding out on just about everything in the car and it’s still just as impressive now as it was then. We all know that your co-pilot needs to be aware of the oil temp, battery voltage and time so the brainiacs at Audi went ahead and made that information easily available to them by extending the gauges over to the center stack. It’s just one of many design details that makes me think of logging many highway hours in this vehicle with a family and a ton of gear. I remember the seats as being some of the most comfortable I had ever sat in and I’d say that still holds true today.
