i picked up my 14 plate rs6 on Saturday 60k on the clock 1 previous owner with full audi history, I decided stuff it and paid £1500 for audi extended warranty, after having a read here I'm kind of glad I did just incase anything goes wrong, so glad to see you got it all sorted in the end mate
That’s probably £1500 well spent. If i’d not had any warranty it would still be sat with a blown engine

If boredom does kick in then it will go... and with hopefully plenty of warranty remaining :bigblink:

Going to be a while before you see a used sport turismo Turbo. They don’t go on sale until 11/11.

I’ll be borrowing one when they land, though I can’t see me swapping the TTS. Turbo S might be a different proposition, but it’s a big old hector.

Went to the launch on Wednesday

I was excited about this car until I saw it. Normal one looks much better.

Obviously all of the show cars were turbos ranging from £140k spec to £150k spec

Out of my league.

Even a normal one with some desirable options is c£100k

Panny different level of quality and build to an A6 audi.

Agree on pricing though.

It would be a used one for me.
