After a C6 RS6
Budget is 23k which is obviously on the lower end of the scale but I see a fair few traders offering good examples for 25k so hopefully possible.
Based in salisbury and ready to buy when the right car appears

Jeez, if hate to think what a 23k RS6 will look like. I'd reckon on a bill following the day after purchase for another 23k.
Audi are still asking circa 30k.
Pick wisely, otherwise you'll get a lemon.

Yer I'd be factoring in more £28k for a cheapish one.

3x traders are selling good examples with 70-80k on the clock for 25k.
One of those is Audi with extended warranty put into the equation.
Just having a go before I tempt fate and use the same money for a M5 Touring.

Yes, sold it a 6 weeks ago due to large extension costs wadding in, now sorted and wish I never sold it
Never mind.

I test drove an E61 M5 a couple of days ago and was so happy to be back in a more modern interior and a far more comfortable ride but there is something about the C5 that just keeps pulling me back. I just love that v8 noise and that twin turbo feel when accelerating hard. I thought I would be running with open arms back to the M5 but was surprised when I didn't. Tres strange. Have you driven one yet?

No, have a test drive booked in for
Sunday. Is the M5 you drove currently advertised?
I loved my C5 but far to costly and unreliable for me to use as a daily.

Yeah I know what you mean and that's why I'm considering getting into the M5. I test drive the space grey one at Vines of Gatwick and I fell in love a little bit. The Silverstone interior is awesome and works really well with the grey. Its a little out of my price range but Daniel (the sales guy) was not pushy at all. I was very tempted. How did you find the C6?

The C6 was great but a little boring which was my concern, everyday it would be nicer to live with, but when you want drama, the M5 wins hands down.

The only drama I saw was a modded M5 getting his ass handed to him on a plate... and the tears that followed..

Yes I know the RS6 is a quicker car, but it's not always about that
