Bought a 2006 A6 a little over a year ago. Had a nice C5 a few years before that. Glad I got the C6 as it is a little more HP, little nicer inside with some nice options. You have to get a 2006 or newer to get the A6 and the paddle shifter. Really like the paddle shifter for hills and curves or switching gears for more power. JMO

Good luck, seems prices are coming down always, but you will pay a little more for clean/low mileage one owner. Just depends on the area and availability it seems. Maybe mid to higher $20's for what you want depending on what is low miles to you.

C-6's are nice but, you will loose leg room compared to the C-5. It depends how big you are. That is one thing I miss in my C-6 compared to my C-5.

It would probably help if you included what state you reside in.

Should probably post this in the For Sale section instead. Regardless, unless you are willing to travel cross country, you may want to put a general location in too.

I would be looking at the "for sale" section, ebay, cars.com, etc. May be hard to find a nice, one owner, low mile C6 for low 20's. Maybe mid to high 20's. I guess it would depend on the car, mileage, options, and where its located. Good luck.
