I am in the process of buying an R8 so will shortly be selling my low mileage RS6, details as follows: Audi RS6 Avant, Avus Silver, 2003 Two mature owners from new (50+) Always garaged and used as a third car hence the low mileage Have owned for four and a half years and it has been ultra reliable s...

I am thinking of selling my low mileage RS6 and getting an R8 and wonder what it is worth/what I should ask ? It is an RS6 Avant, Avus Silver, June 2003, 19,000 miles, Full service history with an Audi dealer warranty until 2015. I am the second owner having had it for four years and bought it in 20...

I currently have an RS6 and am looking at an R8 and would appreciate some advice please. The one I am looking at is a 2007 model with 11,000 miles, FASH, several options (Mag ride, B&O stereo, parking sensors) and is on its third owner. It's last service was in May 2011 and was an oil, oil filter an...

I bought my 2003 Avant in January 2009 from my local Audi dealer and it came with a 3 year Audi Dealer Warranty. I only bought it on the basis that it a) had a 3 year warranty and b) it could be renewed after three years which they advised it could subject to full service history, which it has, on t...

I am possibly considering selling my RS6 and getting something different for my 50th this year, albeit it might not be for a couple of months and I will probably regret it as they are great cars. I am therefore "just testing the water" at this stage and am wondering a) what it's worth and b) what in...

I have covered 6,000 miles in the last year and 3,000 miles of this were two trips to France, one to the Alps and one to the South of France. The roads are so smooth compared to the UK and you can travel at much higher speed and unless you are unlucky are unlikely to get caught speeding (I was unluc...

With the reflective jackets they must also be in the car and not in the boot - keep mine in the glove box.

Radar detector has been mentioned and is a definte No - immediate €1,000 fine for getting caught for one even if just in the car not being used !

If you are a petrolhead then ignore the costs of ownership as the enjoyment of the RS6 is worth every penny ! I would never buy an RS6 without a warranty as if something major goes like gearbox, engine or DRC then you are looking at big costs. I bought in Jan 2009 and a 3 year Audi dealer warranty c...

If it is a 530 bhp MTM conversion I would expect to see other than a standard exhaust. Don't buy an RS6 for 1/4 mile sprints as the car is too heavy and too slow even in tuned form and the gearbox won't last. Like all cars they have their faults but they are not as unreliable as forums might portray...

Competition Car Insurance is probably your best bet as they will provide cover for trackdays, hillclimbs, etc Premium likely to be £150-£250 with an excess of 10% of the vehicle value Some insurers on Owners Schemes will include a number of trackdays in the UK free of charge, e.g. 3 for the likes of...

The best you can buy are Spikes-Spiders and these can be bought from the Roof Box Company online. They specifically make a size for the RS6 and I bought a set to go the Alps last Winter. They are easy to fit simply be fitting the hub to the wheel before you go and then you just click the chains on w...

An RS6 is not a car for a 1/4 mile sprint and if you look at the following list you will see the sort of cars you really need to be considering:

I bought my RS6 in January and was extremely lucky to find a very low mileage example which could almost be described as a "barn find" with less than 3,500 miles on the clock. I have today had it serviced and when looking in the service book for the first time was amazed at the service history: 2003...

Rich, You mention that "you absolutely CANNOT get insurance" but you can. I went there on rally last August and there were 60 cars and most of us, me included had insurance for the Nurburgring. I have cover for the Nurburgring and trackdays on my motor insurance on an annual basis. Having been in in...

Spoke to Grizz at Unit 20 today and he still has some Millteks left from the Bulk Buy so if you still want one to benefit from the bulk buy suggest that you contact him sooner rather than later
