Low mileage for its age, I think this car was somebody’s baby…a few times. One of 340 US imports for MY 2002 and one of five finished in Canvas Beige metallic over Ecru Valcona leather. The 4.2L V8 (360HP/317 lb-ft) drive the quattro via a 5-speed automatic. It looks super clean in the pictures and has a clean Carfax report too.

2002 Audi S6 Avant (96,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.29.2022 2:51 PM EST

The California sun has aged some exterior and interior components but Carfax reports no accidents or other damage.
