Bought my RS6 avant back in september last year, thought it was about time I joined up. I did have a look on here whilst doing my research into buying one of these so already found this place useful. You lot didnt manage to put me off I was determined to get one ha !
This was for sale on autotrader with 94k miles on the clock . I wasn't expecting much when going to look at it as price wise it was at the lower end of things but mechanically it was well looked after. New tyres and front discs had not long been fitted so that was a bonus.
Exterior wise it was a little tired , needed a good wax a few light scratches sorting . The lights were oxidised .
Test drove the car, could't fault it . Only fault really mechanically wise was the gearbox had a slight leak which did have me a little worried but I thought it was just a seal and luckily thats all it was.
The previous owner had used it as his dog carrier and only done 6k miles in 4 years so dont think it had been driven too hard recently.
However I got it booked in at unit 20 as soon as I got it just to make sure its all good. Got them to check it over had a big service including the gearbox and seal and all has been well since.
They said its in very good order with the exception of some cheapo brake pads so Ive bought some ferrodo ds2500s ready to go on.
The car is standard except bilstein coilovers interior wise its got alcantara and leather seats, alcantara headlining , carbon fibre trim , satnav tv 6 disc cd changer and bose speakers.
Anyway a few pics :
Future wise I will be getting either a new exhaust or custom to get a bit more v8 noise and colour coding the wheels to match the paint.
It will probably get a proper paint correction at some point and paint the front bumper as its got alot of chips.
Anyhow Ive done around 3 k miles in it , really enjoying the power and the discreet look of it , oh and Ive now got a shell loyalty card !
Cheers

At least I think so....
