Time to say goodbye to the C6.

So after almost 4 years of ownership my A6 is off to scrapyard!. My wife wants a smaller car so have ordered an A3 for her, the car is going into the Audi scrappage scheme (except all the retrofitted parts) Also If anyone wants to buy any parts off the car then let me know before it goes for scrap. I will post a link to the sales thread just waiting for Admin approval.

Here are some final images of the car before all the retofit parts are removed, will be sad day to see it go.

nice car - shame to see it scrapped

Unfortunately the sill's are rusting badly with drivers side being the worst, replacement sill's alone are £1100 from Audi then they need cutting out and welding in been quoted around £2,000 to do the job + it needs a new wing due to someone hitting the car in a car park and not leaving a note, and it need a new tailgate due to rust that has come back (had it respraied a couple years ago). Audi are giving me £4,000 for the car plus I should be able to get another £3,000 for the bits I've removed and swapped. I would never get £7,000 for a 12 year old a6 and looking on ebay I would get around £1500-£2000, and the car is worth far more than that.

OK fair do's, the numbers stack up in your favour ! first impressions looks tidy and cared for in the photos.

It is overall but the sill's are hidden and the damage cannot be seen unless you are close up to the car. The damage to the sill's was done years ago before I had the car, people jacking the car up on the sill's rather than the jacking points. It's been on my list of things to do for years but I never got around to it. Now circumstances have changed wife wants a smaller car, I've now got a C7 Avant, and we don't need 2 A6 Avants in the family + we want a petrol as the DPF C7 is not good for the smaller trips.

Agree with Rob and comments
The A3 is a good choice,and I expect it wont disappoint,although my choice would be the older 1.9 TDI

You and your diy jobs were very useful with this car, I was convinced that the car will last forever how did you treat it. I feel really sorry reading all above...
