Default Insane price!

There's an A5 S-line up on ebay right now with 1200 miles. They're trying to get $51,995 on buy it now! No nav, Seems about $5k over what it would be new.

The sad thing is that someone is going to pay it.

Default On my A6?

I don't know...maybe the fact that I have the sport seats and the sport wheels. Or the fact that the original window sticker, which I still have, says that the car has the sport package.

Perhaps you have a different view?

Default there were 2 different "sport" packages on the 2000 A6's...

The early 2000 A6 sport packages did not include the sport suspension. The later ones did. On your window sticker, if your sport package is "PSK", it includes sport suspension. Sport suspension lowered the car (an 1" - 1.5", not sure of the exact number), and had increased spring and damping rates. Back when I ordered my 2000 A6 2.7T, I waited for availability of the PSK package. Based on the picture of your car, it appears you have the early package without the suspension change.

Default For what it's worth...

...I said I had the "Sport Package" not the sport suspension. I didn't realize there was a distinction mid-year, but glad to know it. (It does explain the truck-like wheel gap!)
