Re: Looking To Buy A C5 RS6 - Thoughts & Opinions On These?

Just curious, the cars you are moving from are more akin the '4 rather than '6. I assume you have driven a '6? I thought I wanted a '6 until I drove a '4. On what basis has your decision been made? 6's and your previous rides are fairly different IMHO Just written this and realised you had a supra,...

Re: Looking To Buy A C5 RS6 - Thoughts & Opinions On These?

No. The RS6+ is a Unicorn. If you're looking to buy an RS6 that will remain guaranteed fault-free for 3-6 months, then the C5 RS6 probably isn't for you. The C5 RS6 is £1200 timebomb that has no watch face, you just hear the ticking... if you can handle that, it's a flawed beauty. Fault free drivin...

Apart from the extra power, headlights and dark roof rails what is the difference between the plus and standard RS6?

He's had the car back from MRC for 10 days. Let's discuss what could've happened since then to make him sell it...

Re: Looking To Buy A C5 RS6 - Thoughts & Opinions On These?

Ring MRC and get as much info as you can about the car. Just spoken to them, they have confirmed that they have carried out the work that he has mentioned in his for sale advert. They have also said that until they had the car in they had never seen it before but when it left them it was in good co...
