Wanted: C5 RS6

[magpie21]

Hi all
I'm looking at getting back into RS6 ownership. I've been looking around and there are a couple that have caught my eye however thought I would ask to see if anyone is considering selling that hasn't yet advertised?
I'm not too fixed on spec however I do want one with black / natural leather and the anthracite headlining. Ideal exterior colours are black or Daytona with black optics.
If you are thinking of selling please let me know.
Cheers

Hi mate. Could have what you're looking for if you don't mind a little project.

Looking to sell my '53 RS6. Black, black leather, black roof lining. Black everything infact. 85k miles.

One slight issue, it's leaking steering fluid badly! Other than that perfect. Had the gearbox rebuilt, and brand new intercoolers less than a year ago and the DRC replaced by Audi a couple years ago. It's stage1 remap to 520bhp. With milltek system.
Selling as I can't afford to keep her anymore. (Change of job)

I'd be looking for around £9000 before the steering fluid leak, but I know this can be a big job. So offers around £7000

Let me know if interested.
Steve

Anyone else considering selling up? My runaround car (volvo v70) is now on it's last legs so looking to move quicker than originally planned.

Ideally looking for a Daytona or Basalt Black Avant. Don't want a saloon.

Let me know what you have.

Cheers

Basalt, eh? It's not a Porsche. Come to think of it, what is the RS 6 black called? Ebony, I think...

Ebony, I think...

Racist.

You are right, I should know my last RS6 was ebony black

Must have been reading too many Porsche ads!

I have an 05 C5 RS6 Avant in Silver with black optics, black leather, alcantara head lining and a FSH Audi and specialists. The mileage is around 65k, sorry I'm a bit vague but I work away from home most of the year. I will be home in another week and will be able to give you some more info if you want. The car has had a lot of work done on it, brakes, belts, intercoolers, radiator, suspension, tyres, etc so should be good for a few years.

Mine will be put up for sale (officially) soon... it's sat on my driveway getting driven very infrequently. I can't justify spending a fortune to sort it out when my hearts not in it (I'm using my RS2 as my daily) and with my wife now doing a reasonable amount of miles on the school run with tight parking, she always taken the Golf TDI.

What's bad... it is due a cam belt service (on time, its only done 12k since). The light is now on. I've just done a gearbox service, now the box feels good (it was low on fluid) but the torque converter is on it's way out I think. This box is 55k / 6 years old. It certainly feels better than any time since I bought it and hasn't slipped/banged since the service but the dreaded stuck/off code returned suggesting the TC is on its way out. The low gearbox fluid level is a leaking oil cooler line, needs replacing. I'm also getting intermittent check engine due to SAI on cold starts. Tyre tread is about 2-3mm all round. Mirror electrics not working and the passenger door mechanism needs regular lube to get it to close fully without an extra shove.

And what is good... Ebony Black, full black optics, natural leather interior, black headlining, non-res Miltek exhaust, H&R coil overs, plus brakes w/ phaeton cooling upgrade, 19" BBS CH's (slight kerb scuff on 2 wheels) and a spare set of Plus alloys (immaculate), RNSE with '08, in the past 10k it's had turbos, ICs and alternator replaced, engine oil cooler lines. MTM 508bhp package with gearbox remap.

Ideally (and I'll be honest I'm not hopeful) is for someone to buy it as-is pricing in the work to get it done. She's a great car - looks and sounds fantastic, lots done already, just needs the above list addressing to be a prime example. Obviously that TC code is a big put-off and I'd be pricing that in, along with other work that she needs. I'd hope that asking £7k might prompt some interest?
