Silver 1998 A6, front wheel drive, blue interior. Engine blew an oil seal and lost all oil and ruined engine. Car has 140,000 highway miles. Until engine blew car was running great, AC, transmission, etc all good. My customers got a few quotes on replacing engine, around $5,000 parts and labor.
At this point my customers is inclined to sell it as scrap and if my customers can afford it just buy another car at some point.
1. Any opinions on that?
2. What is the car worth for scrap, rims are good, all body panels good, water pump, alternator, dashboard displays, etc all good.
3. What is the best way to sell it.

 

I have a 2009 Audi at Quattro. I bought it in 2011 certified used. This was the worst mistake of my life. My water pump has blown twice in 2 years and I was denied help from any Audi dealership under the oil consumption law suit/recall. I've had to add a quart of oil every week since I've owned it and lost the recall/oil form so the dealership denied any liability so my car was never taken care of. Today on my way to work my engine blew. I am sitting on the side of the road in 100 degree heat cursing myself for ever buying this car
