Would this be a goo buy for around the 11k mark?

Any input would be great.

White has taken care of the car without question and he's been very car proud but his situation forces sale. It seems like a great deal if the RS6 avant is the car you want. We're hardly unbiased, we all own an RS6!
No matter where you go, there you are.

Sounds very well looked after, and also the first owner had the good sense to specify a fistfull of optional extras when ordering it!

It seems like you shouldn't expect to have any major outlays in the near future if you picked this up as the current owner seems to have dealt with everything.

If it's in your price range, then go for it!

Not sure what you drive at the moment, but this will certainally put a smile on your face when you hear the exhaust note on tickover, but when you bury the loud peadal and experience the performance... well, all owners on here knows what I'm talking about.... addictive!

Would 7 previous owners bother you?

:D Glad to see my ownership has attracted management approval hehe.

Re the owners question - i personally couldn't give a f&^% but it depends on how soon you're likely to want to sell on. Were it not for circumstance i wouldn't be selling her, hence the reason owners wasn't an issue.

re expense - I'll have lost out financially by a significant margin (in excess of 7-8k) in terms of work done/depreciation but one thing that cannot be denied is that I'm selling a decent car with all the things done to it that a prospective Rs6 owner would wish to see done.

No not at all.

Don't take this personally Ant1 but if you are in the market for one of these's beasts what more do you want for 11k ?
