Been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Back on topic, this past weekend a friend replaced his audi S6 avant with an 05 E500 sport with 98K miles for $4k. Full service history, new airmatic components at all 4 corners, 722.9 serviced multiple times, engine and trans mounts replaced recently. The car was meticulously maintained by the previous owner. The only broken item is the rear window roller blind. You can hear the electric motor winding away but nothing is happening. Seems to be a common failure point with an easy fix. It has the massaging seats and a few other goodies I wish my E320 had. The 5.0 m113 pulls hard and 722.9 shifts are very quick compared to my 722.6.
