Nary a sardonic statement throughout. How the times are changing.

This really isn’t a car or hot-rod or performance vehicle or odd vehicle or cute vehicle or . . . anything vehicle story except that a guy, driving a boring semi, drove along a freeway, trying to get through a protest which turned ugly, he ran over someone(s) and got pulled from his truck. There’s no car-value in this…

That’s a driver failure.

I feel like you and david have such severe stockholm syndrom when it comes to total POS vehicles that its hard to take your opinions seriously as to what is or is not a hunk of junk.

Good grief....

Two, so far.

I can’t believe this thing’s pulling off a NP Victory--   the C5 AUDI line were the absolute worst, especially with this TT 2.7

I don’t leave the house to drop the kids off at the pool. But... it’s possible that’s all the Changli is going to be suitable for.

A6 C5 is the biggest nightmare-car I have ever owned... to get to anything is a bitch. the best suspension though, if you are willing to change them every season

Run for the fucking hills.

Having owned that generation A6 run don’t walk away. 100K is the mark for a ticking time bomb. 

Early 2000 VAG product. Run, don’t walk away from this “deal”. I see nothing but pain and money flowing from your wallet for the future owner of this car.

As a previous owner of one of these shitboxes, I say “Run away! Run away!”

I wouldn’t deal with this thing if you gave it to me for free.

Never, ever use this slide-show format again.

Sorry, no. I owned a 2001 Miata SE and currently own a 2016 Launch Edition. I’m a fan. But as others point out, the only distinction this car has is low mileage. Ok, sure, because of the low mileage it’s cosmetic condition is like-new but a 75,000 mile example that’s been taken care of will look pretty decent, too,…

As others have said, it’s an insane amount for a car of this age and mileage...unless you are shopping 80 series. I paid 5600 for my locked 220k mile example before the market for these started going nuts for the same thing now I would easily pay 9+. Here is the logic - They are like a good house in a neat location…

I just...don’t understand. I couldn’t even finish the article because I just don’t understand the central conceit.

Yes. Oh my god yes. I may have posted this story before. You NEED a pre purchase inspection. I bought a 9 month old Lincoln MKZ from White Plains Lincoln in NY. CPO. 14K Miles and registered to the OWNER of the whole dealership. Was a loaded car, rare spec, $4400 sunroof, V6, etc. Only one on the east coast at the…

The engine is the only good thing about this car.
