Leaving the C5 gang

[johnny11]

After nearly 8 years of ownership I am leaving the RS6 fold , the time has come to move on. My C5 has been a absolute treat to own, and has never really missed a beat. The long drives to and from Scotland would not have been so much fun if I didn't have the RS6.
Now to what is replacing it, I'm picking up a sepang blue RS5 this weekend so the long drives will still be enjoyable.

The car is being part exchanged this weekend so if anyone wants to make an offer more than £8000 by this weekend
Please contact me.

If ever there was a reason to move on, an RS5 would sure be one of them ! Nice.
Enjoy the new car

I'll wager that you'll miss the turbos, but the RS5 is a fine car indeed

£8k on a PX is good, right?

[Shoppinit]

That's a good PX.

I was reading today that the V8 Bentley GT3 car moves the turbos out of the V and uses RS5 heads. There you go, OT but informative.

Erm, a bit heard to decide to offer you 8k,. not really knowing anything about your car unless I have missed summat? Enjoy the 5, I would strongly consider one if I had the funds and wasn't set on a C6 saloon....

8 years ownership, how much has the C5 screwed with your head? I'm at 3 (or 4, my heads screwed ) years now.
Good luck with the new motor, I have a soft spot that turns rather hard for the RS5. If the rear leg room was better in them, there's a good chance we would have one instead of our C5.

In the first 2 years of owner ship it was still under warranty, so had new propshaft, then some of the dry got replaced with the valve, then I managed to get a replacement RNSE unit out of them too, as mine went all weird. But since the warranty had run out the only issues I had are the oil cooler and pipes and 2 years ago a new alternator, so to be fair it's been great car.

I hope this is not yours

Why do people drive in to flood water when it's that deep ffs. Towed a car in to the local BMW dealer last week asked how many submarines they had in, answer 14, most of which are written off some of which were only a few months old.

[johnny11]

Not even reported stolen, what's that all about?

[skirs6]

Well it just proves stupid people can drive nice cars!!!!!!!! Something not quite right with that story!!!

[Daveperc]

Probably reported it to his Insurance company, told them where it was, and left it to them to deal with. They probably paid up for a write off, and then forgot about it! Wish I'd known about it though - probably had a nice RNSE...

As for people driving into deep water... no comment

Yeah, who the hell would drive an RS into a flooded road... oh wait...
