Taking on a 90k Mile C6

[Bucks108]

Hi all,

Still looking for a C6 RS6 Avant and a friend of a frown has a black one with white leather.

Options are:
Privacy glass
Advanced parking system
TV reception
Digital radio

It's done 90k and he only wants £20k for it. I was hoping to find something with 60-70k miles but all the ones for sale at the moment with that kind of miles are £25-27k. What do I need to be careful of with a car with this sort of mileage on? Is it worth the £5k saving, bearing in mind it will be my daily drive? I had prepared myself to spend £25-26k but to get one for £20k is very tempting!

I plan on keeping it for a few years so it'll probably have 120 - 130k on by the time I sell it. Are the higher mileage cars much harder to sell?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

There are loads of threads in the forum - search oil leak/seal, coolant pipes both of those are engine out jobs £2.5k minimum. Look at suspension, brakes, basically go through the car with a fine tooth comb.

There is no such thing as a cheap C6, this is a £85k car with bills to match. MPG you be looking at figures in the mid-teens so get to know your local shell/Tesco garage well you will be visiting them regularly.

But when you hit the loud peddle and everything is going into reverse it's not so bad

Buy it at 20k and keep 5k to the side for a fail safe. if it needs the seals or pipes needing done 2 birds one stone ( get both jobs done if engine out ) cross that bridge if it comes to it. I keep seeing your posts and tempted to sell you mine as I'm scanning auto trader day and night looking at other cars. The rs6 is pretty built proof £800 for 4 tyres and £1100 discs and pads all round. Keep oil levels topped up and only other costs are fuel. I don't find it that expensive I use it daily and done 4k in 3 months

What's the details of your car Stu? I'm going to have a look at this black one on Tuesday evening but if it turns out to be no good is it worth us having a chat?
