Serious potential buyers please e-mail me for details, it was in excellent pre-accident condition (not perfect, but still what I would call superb condition for its age), and has been very well looked after, and has also had a new cambelt and all tensioners done within the last 10,000 miles by a reputable VAG specialist at a cost of around £480.
It's currently on a private plate, but was an N reg (Jan 1996), and features
4x, electric windows, electric heated mirrors, digital climate control. It has a removable front single-disc CD player (Sony), and a Nokia 5/6/7 series hands-free kit (currently not emitting sound from the speaker but I'm sure this is a slightly loose connection). It has the 'sports' seats, and the alloys were replaced with the 5-spoke alloys (same as an early A6 Quattro - standard Audi wheels), all with good Pirelli P6000 tyres. It also features the 6-speed gearbox. Basically all that's stopping this from being the "ultimate spec" A6 Avant is the fact that it doesn't have leather seats, cruise control, or quattro (and I drove a quattro model of the same car, and it felt a bit slow compared to mine IMHO).Service history wise, it's been very well looked after all its life - in short, main dealer stamps up to 40k in the book, then a notebook kept by the previous keeper, with everything done regularly, oil changes ever 6k at a minimum), and I have maintained it to similar standards myself.
Damage is reasonably heavy to the front of the roof and windscreen, and the bonnet is also damaged. I don't believe there to be any major structural damage to the front panel, though a few plastic bits from the bumper are missing and the bumper would ideally want spraying, and the O/S/F headlight and indicator will need replacing.
Mechanically it's pretty much A1, bar a few small minor issues, all of which I have the parts to rectify, and would take no more than an hour or two absolute tops to sort them out (quite possibly all doable within half an hour).
It pains me to see it go, but I'm no longer allowed to drive it, and it makes no sense in keeping it. I spent a lot of time looking for one in as good condition as this - one weekend I drove a 400 mile round trip to look at 3 A6s of this model in different corners of the country, and they were all extremely tatty, hence why I jumped at the chance to buy this one.
This is a very rare model, and when they do turn up they're still at the £4.5-5k mark (even high milers are asking that), so even given the repair costs (which I'd estimate to be around £1500 at a reputable small independent garage) this is a good deal, because of its overall condition (pre-accident) - obviously if someone was to buy this to repair themselves and keep, it would be an even better deal.
Sensible offers around £2200.
