Default other S6 sales difficulties/ebay

Another forum member mentioned a few nights ago about the S6 Avant that was offered on Ebay by a PA. Audi dealer. Just noticed this afternoon, that two other offerings for S6's popped up: one from a NJ dealer, another from upstate New York.
I am pretty sure that in both cases these are the same cars offered by the same dealers on Ebay, several weeks ago. Another indication that it is clearly difficult for the dealers to find buyers for this models. These otherwise beautiful machines just seem to languish in dealers' inventories, indefinitely.

Default Yeah, they are the same 3 for the past 2 months...tell 'em to ship 'em to California...

they'll see in a week or two...especially at $5k under sticker.

The northeast has an overabundance of Audi dealers...and little butt-screw towns like Oneonta and Lancaster probably don't have much business selling S6s or S8s or RS 6s. I think Oneonta should stick with selling Golfs and Jettas for the college kids and Lancaster should sell horse-drawn carriages.

These small dealerships in nowhere-ville are just trying to reach a wider audience for an expensive car that they are having a difficult time moving...no big deal. Hell, I saw a brand new M5 in Autoweek for MSRP...perhaps M5 sales are bad too?

I don't know why anyone keeps posting these messages...I don't understand the point unless it is to help someone find one who cannot. Just because these 3 dealers have been taking quite a while to sell these 3 cars, this doesn't mean **** about the state of S6 sales around the country. I have still never seen anywhere that has more than 2 S6s in stock...and I have only seen 2 once or twice.

Most folks who want an S6, want a specific combo. They also don't want other people test driving.

Too much money, not enough performance.

Precisely. I wasn't interested in buying anything but what I ordered, even to save a couple $K.

No: too much money, but almost enough performance.
