£8,900 ONO - Bargain! No DRC, Hotchkins etc... You could probably get it for £8.5k. You'd be crazy not to buy this.

My boss sits about 2 feet from me but it is not that bad as the brunette lass on the desk opposite has a nice set of DD's which i can glance at now and again.

A Category C or D write-off is one that insurers consider unecomonical to repair but one that could, given enough time in the workshop, be repaired and returned to the road.
Category A and B should never be returned to the road. A Category B write off is one that is so badly damaged it can only be used for the salvaging of spare parts, while a Category A is one that is sent to the crusher and NO parts salvaged

Thanks for info on Categories. Have a couple of nice examples to look at, so should be part of the Rs6 Massive soon - word up etc. Its not the fuel that worries me, I used to run an F150, its just the cost if anything goes wrong. Im not a big fan of selling my own organs and I suspect I wouldn't have many enthusiastic buyers for them anyway...So good service history seems to be essential.
My B5 RS4 was costly to run, with sensors going regularly and i was told a 6 was lots more money for similar issues. But on the flip side they do represent very good value for money to buy, so I guess that gives a balance.
Cheers and enjoy your RS 6 - Sounds slightly iffy if said quickly.
