Just import it as is, fix the damage. You don't care if it's been CAT N in NZ. Plus you'll come close to doubling the population of RS6s in kiwiland.

Surprisingly NZ does care! It would have a crash repair record against its title, though I am sure there are ways around it.....

I did actually run some figures and the biggest (but not in reality) figure is my wife.....I got an ultimatum....a boat or another car.

Kids are getting old enough to enjoy fishing and water skiing so coin is going towards a bigger fire pit than an RS6!

Still it would be a 'cheap' way to have the ultimately sleeper.

Surely somewhere here will snap it up?!

Oh man Bam. I'd loved to take it off your hands, but house extension stuff is still hurting the man funds.

Hope it doesn't get crushed - you sure they'd actually crush it though? Surely they'd put it for auction and a breaker would take it.

So I reckon $15k nz would have that landed here in Kwiland......

Do you do free next day delivery?

My only problem would be finding someone down here to do the swap who doesn't say 'Allroads didnt come with turbo V8's......'

More importantly whats the next project (after the house)?
Not many plans for another project. My forum girlfriend is telling me get some Pork in my life, but I never listen to bitches (although I do love a Porker). I have a low miler R53 that I have threatened to track.

There is a forum member that has involved themselves in the CAT N process. I'll talk to insurance this morning and everything should be done and handed over by Wednesday. The Mental Manual will live on via a forum stalwart.

It'll be a shame if Bam departs the C5 forum though.

Alright, so the saga has ended. The MM was picked up with its new owner this afternoon, he might be along soon make himself known.
It's been a fun ride, I don't do goodbyes so I'll just fuck off now. However, I do think that a couple of pages of nothing but "you're dead to us" would be a nice touch.
