eBay Find of the Day: Audi RS6 - HALF OFF!
by Frank Filipponio (RSS feed) on Mar 14th 2007 at 4:26PM





When talk of the ultimate go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle pops up in the AB offices, the Audi RS6 Avant often gets a mention. This is one superfast grocery getter that has sophistication and style to spare. And apparently safety hasn't been overlooked either, as one extremely lucky owner recently discovered. While moving along at a fairly good clip on a familiar stretch of roadway,the driver lost control and made impact with a tree. The vehicle did its job and absorbed the energy so that the driver would be protected. He actually got out and can be seen in the photos talking on his cell phone, perhaps explaining to the missus that he might be late for dinner. While the driver was intact, the car was not.

A nifty story of German engineering at its finest, but that is only the setup. The news here is that the vehicle is now available on eBay Motors, and as you may have guessed, it's half off. Hardy-har. Even split in two, this might be the closest many of us can get to actually owning this superwagon. Actually, the bidding ended when the seller pulled it, but not before scoring a remarkable top bid of EUR 6,716. The seller stated that the engine and brakes were nearly intact, so maybe that wasn't such a stretch after all. Check out the read link for more pics and a more detailed description.

Thanks for the tip, Dan!

Hahaha, I knew it was a fair crack ago. Crazy story though, I don't know how much it is to do with Audi safety as it is to with that particular chaps luck. Greatest supercar crash story EVER is Ericsson in the Enzo.

nah. audi still gets my rocks off. dirty old datsun up on bricks shows two things. 1) idiots only bothered with the wheels, and not the brakes. fools. 2) its a dirty old datsun up on bricks.

The Datsuns brakes look impossibly small.

[Alex]

I had a look under the car for a spare bung hole, one is being used for the oxygen sensor. there is a spare one about 1/4 into the metal cat. its about 1.2 metres (guess) from the turbo. do you think thats a good spot for a wideband sensor?
