Well the market here in the US sucks because Bill and Bob don't like anything other then SUVs and so do their wives. In fact Bill and Bob didn't even know you could drive an estate, only live in one. I say go euro, import!!!
I didnt look very hard but here is a nice white and black one. Both are limited sports as well.
116,701.68 USD less shipping
My argument

Nothing a couple of mods could fix.

If you’re willing to eat the cost of delivery and processing fees, >$3000 from germany if you shop around, go for the RS6. The dealerships in Germany would make money off the sale so would have some skin in the game and would be willing to help you arrange the documents for importation. The RS6 meets and exceeds all US federal as well as Washington state emission and crash safety standards. That normally is the deciding factor for personally importing a car. I have helped a friend arrange the importation of a car from Japan and while costly it wasn’t too expensive for RORO (role on roll off) shipment and for the additional importation clearing house fees. The limiting factors are defiantly the emissions and crash safety.
You would have the only one in the NW that’s for sure! It sounds like that is the only car that meets your criteria and interest checklist. Im fairly proficient in searching the euro, euro car market if you need any info let me know.
I even found a couple nice blue ones in the 73.000 EUR range.

If I truly knew that I could get an RS6 into the country without any hassle, I'd probably do it.
I always cringe at these "grey market" (can I use that term?) cars.
One person says it's legal and fine, and then bam... you need a lawyer.
I've heard that you can import the RS6, but still...not a model they offered here... so is it really legit or just a loophole?
I haven't exactly seen any driving around yet.
Would love to talk to someone who has one here.

I just picked this up 4 or 5 weeks ago. Nice thing is the interior is OK when fully decked out and it is AWD..the 450HP is not bad either. If you want to drive it let me know..I could arrange something for a nice ride in the Scud..http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...5&id=690142240

I'm a big fan of the newer Legacy 2.5 turbo wagons.

To other commentators: I don't do grey-imports, and I don't like doing mods. I like everything stock, and the comfort of a no-questions asked warranty (which is why I like to buy new only).

Funny you should mention Beamers, because I went to Bellevue BMW yesterday evening to test-drive the turbo-diesel X5. I liked the vehicle, but it suffered horribly from off-the-line turbo-lag.
