1999 Audi A6 Avant Wagon 2.8L V6 Quattro AWD Wagon Tiptronic Automatic, $1500 in recent Maintenance, Enthusiast owned, TONS of service history. *Priced LOW, as it has a slipping transmission*

TONS of service records, and $1,500 in RECENT maintenance. My loss/Your Gain. I am a European car enthusiast and treat my cars accordingly. I have put a lot into this car and it'll treat you better than most of the comparable ones on the market.

Car was running fantastic until the transmission started slipping. I can drive it around the neighborhood, but then it starts to slip, so it needs some work or a swap. Used transmissions typically go on Craigslist for $400 to $600. I found a used transmission with 135k miles on it on ebay for $700 shipped with a 1 year guarantee. I just don't have the time or ability to take on a transmission swap project.

Before the transmission slipping, the car had no Check Engine lights or Brake or ABS warning lights. (Car would have passed emissions just fine.) Just this winter, I drove the car back and forth to Mt Hood Meadows 20+ times as well as trips to Bend, Sun Valley, and Whistler. It is the best road trip car I've ever owned. It's been a fantastic car and combines Euro luxury/performance/style/AWD.

As you can guess by the fact that I just did hoses, reservoir, coolant flush, control arms, and a full brake job with premium pads and rotors (see below); I had no intention of selling this car. But I'm just not in a position to get the transmission fixed, so I have to downsize and move on.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I can tell you that this car does NOT have a salvage title, but I found out when I bought it that it had a manufacturer buyback sometime WAY back in its past. Buybacks under the lemon law typically mean that someone had an issue that the dealer couldn't fix upon 3 attempts while it was under warranty and the manufacturer had to buy the car back. Since this car had 187k miles on it when I bought it and a lengthy list of items that had already been replaced (including the transmission), I'm pretty confident that whatever this buyback issue was it's certainly not something that's an issue on the car now. However, I wanted to be forthcoming as it shows on the title.

Modifications and Upgrades
- 17" S4 Avus wheels with studless winter tires.
- New 30% VLT non-metallic window tint - European Hella Clear Corner E-Code HID headlights (with NO Amber reflectors).
- Mesh Kamei Front Grill with Audi Rings attached
- Debadged rear hatch (removed emblems for a cleaner look)
- I had a custom stereo system in the car, but I have since taken that out, so the car is being sold without a stereo system. However, the car will come "pre-wired" for a custom stereo. It has RCA cables running from front to back as well as power cable running from by the battery to the back where you'd put amps. Additionally, in the compartment where the factory changer used to be, there is a custom speaker box and panel for a hidden 10" subwoofer so that the box takes no cargo space.
- I will include another panel to cover where the subwoofer box is in case you want to go back to stock and not have a sub in there.
- I also have an additional carpeted trunk floor panel that I'll throw in with the purchase as I won't need it.
