Just in time for me not to bid on it while the wife was out of town, DT reader DT sent along a link to this nice-looking, low-miles, 2002 Audi A6 3.0 
Avant, which sold at auction Saturday for just $11,408.
Or to put it in more practical terms, 86 percent off the price of the fully restored 1967 21-window VW bus.
Lot No: 449: 1967 Volkswagen 21-Window Samba Bus, sold for $78,975 [bonhams.com]
The Audi A4 is now sold (with slightly redesigned face and rear) as the SEAT Exeo ST: http://www.seat.de/modelle_/exeo-st/galerie.html . I think they more or less transfered all tools for the old A4 to Spain.
