My Avant is an M box and was built 11/00. Maybe the "Avant" status makes a difference to your point

Well driven hard doesn't mean as much as one that was taken care of well.

Default Avants are considered 01.5s, i thought.

New badges, no f-hose, etc. I think the 01.5 build started around 10/00 - 11/00.

It really depends on the owner how they drive their car on street or track.

Default What? Maybe if you are a moron driver....

A) unless you drag race, your cluth shouldnt be affected.
b) Worn suspension bushings? Not likely...it's not going to make them wear out any faster, you are making the same turns as you do on the street. Now if you rally the car, that's something else
c) More engine wear? Not likely, Audis motors are built VERY strong. I've seen block taken apart with 150,000 miles on them and still have factory cross hatching on the walls, and are still entirely within spec.
