Well, the bagpipes are warming up. The unicorn flatlined about 1 hour ago.
If anyone in the Seattle area (or nearby) wants a great 6-speed tranny, let me know. I need to decide on the buyback soon and I really don't want it sitting in my driveway...
She was a great car and deserved a better fate.

Maybe it cn be saved.
In march my daughter smacked up her '01 B5 A4. The repair was $5600. The insurance company paid and it was fixed.
Another option is have the insurance company estimate it and if they say it's a total, simply tell them that you are not making a claim. Arrange for the body shop to fix it and pay for it. End of story. No worries about a salvage title because you never made the claim so it was never totaled.
I did this with my son's (hand-me-down) '83 4kS a long time ago. The repair cost was $2700 and the car was only worth $3500. The car went on to live a long and happy life for several more years and eventually was retired with 280k on the clock. The only thing wrong with it was it needed a new head gasket which would cost about $800 which what the car was worth. So we donated it.

Accepting offers on the following removable items:
* cargo tonneau cover
* cargo net
* pet divider
* OEM cargo tray
* OEM all-weather (rubber) mats
I would be offering the RS6 taillights but methings they would notice them missing.
BTW, someone asked about what they look like. Check them out <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Grey_Audi_RS6_C6_Avant_rr.jpg/800px-Grey_Audi_RS6_C6_Avant_rr.jpg">here</a>. Basically they appear solid red until the indicator is turned on, then they flash orange.
