Hi

Thinking of buying the below. Anybody know the car?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-RS6-C5- ... 635-2958-0

Don’t know the car. But a good low mileage example with very good MOT history.
Looks clean and tidy.
May be worth a visit to check it over and a test drive.

Car looks tidy. I'm hard-pressed to spot any obvious defects with it from the photos.

The advert text is a bit low on detail. Which Bilsteins is it on? I'd want to know how long he's had it, why he's selling it and what work he personally had done on it.

It's got the Allroad wiper arms - good. It desperately needs a stubby aerial, though.

If I were in the market for an RS6 this would definitely be on my list of cars to look at.

Has an advert on here now, something doesn't add up though going by the replies.
Perhaps it's just me.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

Looks like owner bough it pre covid, hasn't used it much (like many of us) and wants to sell it.
No doubt it's not perfect, how many 18 years old cars are? But it looks like it could potentially be one of the better ones.
Worth a look if you're in the market ?

Yup. It got my spider senses tingling, too.

It’s advertised on another forum to and I tried looking at his profile to see if there was any background history on the owner or car but sadly the for sale post was the only post I could find.

Don't think the MOT history looks that great.

Meh, think we're shouting into the void anyway. OP is AWOL. Same on the other thread of the potential owner asking about gearbox / tiptronic. Rude.

Suz. The last mot failure was in 2011 according to my search.
Yes there are a few advisories but a pass is a pass ?

Am I being a complete mong here, has the current MOT run out?

I see the ebay advert has been updated stating the gearbox filter and strainer replacements.
Wonder who did those and when? Be interesting to see those invoices.

I got pinged as an advisory for “ Rear Coil springs corroded” last time out. I was fuming as it’s so minor however it’s going to get highlighted every visit now unless I correct it.

Yes Chris I remember you mentioning it at the time.
I think you said it was just surface rust.
I got a mot failure for a duff bulb.
Would of taken 5 mins to replace the bulb.
