Don't know it, thought it was one I looked at from Oxford but it isn't.

My 0.029 €uros worth:

Good price compared to other Plus's - good or bad thing who knows without seeing it. I don't know the dealer, call me a snob but people selling £100k cars should not have an AOL email! Perhaps it's someone who deals from home by all the snaps, no address on the site.

It's an '04, I thought all Plus's were '54's?
Certainly worth a phone call to check what they mean by 'Full service History'
Seats look a little tired, can't get an idea of the state of the wheels. It's a striking colour though in the flesh, I can vouch for that.

You interested? Good luck if so!

Its a lot of money to pay for a nasty interior and "exclusivity"
When for 10k less and a remap and an RNS-E, you could have a superior car !

Ooh contentious... So I shall counter If I may:

Lots of people like exclusivity, it's one of the major determining factors of buying a car.

You won't get a standard RS6 in that colour, which I'm guessing Rob likes. (Although I suppose you could always get a roller out whilst you were changing the RNS-E, lowering the suspension, remapping and losing your warranty, changing the wheels, changing the brakes, changing the trim and exausts, adding two more radiators....)

LOL !
I was all too ready for the flaming by the Plus Possee :lol:
Though it wasn't as severe as I thought it'd be...

My RS6 was quite often mistaken for a plus. Which was exactly my point, theres not enough differentiation between a normal one and a plus.
Paint the rims, and stick a numbered metal plaque on the interior trim, and Bobjebb's your uncle :wink:
And for the remaining plus "extras", you could buy them from Audi at full retail, and STILL end up with a few K left in your pocket!

So my original question remains, whats the point in getting a Plus ??! :wink: :twisted:

To add fuel to the fire, I think the price differetial betwen a Plus and non-Plus can be even more than £10k ...

So ...you could get an standard RS6 and a Lotus Elise for the same price as a plus .............
