Hi Guys.
Simple questions really.
Would any of you buy a C5 RS6 with 23k miles on and 1 owner but with no history really. 4 Services in total. Latest in 2018 with cambelt and tensioners at Audi.
Car is immaculate.
Past every MOT with no advisories.
Was up for £18k on autotrader but as has finished now.
What’s people’s thoughts?

Hard to tell. If it's being added to a collection then yeah, 5yrs+ it'll probably pick up another £5-£7k.

I suppose if you’re willing to take a chance on it.
Really tempted but it’s a fair wedge for a potential money pit.
But I guess they all are some point.

Why no history, has it been lost or????
Has any work been done via dealers where you can phone and ask for verification?
Buy on condition, if you know what your looking at and can check common faults etc, then I'd consider it, but would still try knock it down more

What are your concerns about it? That you won't be able to sell it on?

No I’d be keeping it.
Just concerned about paying top money for a car that might need big repairs.
4 oil changes since 2003 doesn’t sound good.
Condition looks spot on though.

Where is it located? Would the seller be happy to have it inspected by a specialist?

That was my next move.
Just looking for a specialist near the Hampshire/Surrey area.
I’m aware if I did come to sell it then it may be a chore because people would have same concerns but at least if it passes a specialist inspection then that’s something.

They may have the same concerns, but you're still contemplating it so they may too! Do what you want to do, don't worry about the future too much.
Think there's a specialist called 4rings don't that way.

It's got too be worth contacting Audi, they'll have history on it. Have you HPI checked it?

http://camspeconline.com. They are based n Crawley.
Several people on here use them and I think we would all highly recommend them and certainly know their way round a C5 RS6.
