RS6 selling current market

Post by silky16v » Fri Jul 29, 2016 8:50 am

Hi not started this topic to raise awareness of me trying to sell but is the current market really that bad for our type of cars?

Or is it simply a case of holding out for the right buyer, any seasoned members maybe give some input on the things I've maybe missed off?

I'd put a fresh MOT on it. As a buyer I'd assume there was something likely to cause a fail and that's why the car was being sold now regardless of how many other things have been done to it.

Dunno. If I was looking it's exactly the kind of ad that would make me want to see the car. The one in the classified that is. Maybe you're giving too much info for the average buytard.

Have people been contacting you and losing interest or is your phone not ringing?

Ditto, if my one burst in to flames I would be defo calling you. Really well spec'ed, good price.

Maybe have a bit more of a bullet-ed summary at the top of the listings, especially ebay one, covering the main RS6 weaknesses for the lazy people. Gearbox refurb tick, DRC tick, cam seals etc.

Maybe swap out those wood panels for the carbon fibre as well :D
