Pretty though it may be, it was not the appearance of this Ming Blue Metallic Audi C5 S6 Avant that won me over. I think pretty much all C5s look good, Avant or Sedan, 2.7T or RS6, they’re all visually pleasing in my book. No, the reason I’m writing this car up is because the seller has equipped the car with a 6spd manual transmission. The automatic Audi stuck us with here in the United States probably didn’t seem so bad when it debuted, but in 2015, the 5 speed ZF 5HP24A can go suck an egg. These enthusaist focused machines deserve 3 pedals, shame Audi didn’t feel that Americans did when they sold it new. On the upside, it seems more and more folks out there are stepping up and plunking down the money to make the change to a manual. While it’s not the most expensive procedure in the world, it’s by no means cheap, especially if you do it the right way. It seems this is one of those jobs where no expense was spared, as the parts list below reads like an Audiphile’s Christmas list.
Jan 29, 2018 2002 Audi S6 Owners Manual – Still offered as a sedan or perhaps A6 Avant wagon, Audi’s midsize model recognizes some page-steel changes for 2002, along with a new transmission option. A 3.0-liter V-6 switches the 2.8-liter engine in the base 3.0 model, when the A6 2.7T will continue to hold a turbocharged V-6 and the A6 4.2 packs a 4.2. 2002 Audi S6 Avant: No Compromise: Wagon fills many needs, quickly.

Are you thinking about getting in touch with the seller yet? I know I was after scrolling through the parts list. There’s so much good stuff in there, 6 piston Brembos, Milltek exhaust, JHM short throw shifter, the goodies go on, and on. However, there are a few things missing in the post information wise. The seller does not note what kind of TDI the manual transmission came from, a question that’s easily answered by contacting them, but it would have made sense to include this in the post in my eyes. There’s also not a single photo of the front seats or center stack. This could be an error since there are two of the same photos of the backseat, but I don’t see how you can make a post live without shots of the front seats. These are pretty minor annoyances, both easily remedied by contacting the seller, but it still irks me.
What doesn’t upset me at all about this car is how much the seller is asking for it. $21,000 isn’t all that much for a clean S6 Avant with 85k on the clock, but throw in the fact that it has a 6-speed manual with just 1,200 miles on it, and I think you’re looking at a great value. The only question lingering in my mind is why is the seller looking to let the car go? Perhaps he’s had it long enough and enjoyed those first 1,200 miles with the manual, and is now ready for something different. As someone who would switch cars every couple of months if possible, I could certainly understand if that was the case. If everything checks out with this S6, I think someone is going to take home a really special car at a good price.

The other day I wrote up a questionably modified 2JZ-GTE swapped M5 that, while it wasn’t to everyone’s taste, had clearly undergone some pricey modifications. Well, today we have another rare ride that has gone under the knife for a pricey swap few engage in. While C5 S6 and RS6s came to the U.S. in automatic-only format, the seller of this 2002 S6 Avant has ripped out the ZF unit and swapped in a O1E 6 speed. The addition of the 6 speed to either an S6 or S8 on these shores sure makes the choice of which fast executive car to buy more complicated! While some of the other mods may not be to your liking, let’s see if we can redeem it a bit:

First things first – while I’m not a fan of the matte white paint, I could probably live with it, if it wasn’t for the wheels. I’ve made it no secret that I’m not really a fan of black wheels, and these horrible units look like something that should be adorning a Chrysler 300 or Dodge Magnum wagon. I can’t stand them. Swap on something from the factory, though – such as these S6 wheels linked below, and the story might change quickly as to how you feel about the rest of the car:
Further, replace the poorly painted grill with an RS6 grill on Ebay and those smoked taillights with some OEM taillights and I think the rest of the car is pretty liveable. Sure, it has a salvage title, so you probably want to delve into why that’s the case and if the repairs – most likely to the front – were carried out correctly, but this isn’t an aluminum A8/S8 so I’d be a little less concerned about that.
The S6 isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and usually that comes down to the transmission. Alleviate that problem and you’ve got a fast large wagon that can be had on a budget. Considering the quotes I’ve seen on manual swaps for the C5 and D2 range from $6,000 to $9,000 having this swap completed not only changes the character of the car but saves the future owner a lot of potential transmission headaches. If you’re feeling brave and can sport for some extra dough to “fix” the modifications, this car could be a stellar deal.
