Anyone else had theirs from new?

Post by S3ADF » Tue Apr 08, 2025 6:28 pm

I pose this question from time to time but just interested to know if any other forum members have experienced the joys of ownership from new? I bought my C5 in November 2003 fresh off the production line and it's still giving me smiles every time I drive it. With 71,000 miles on the clock and only one registered owner I am maintaining the vehicle as factory standard in the hope of being able to show it for what it was always intended to be when originally conceived.

I know of 2 owners who have owned their C5 RS6’s from new. I don’t think either of them are in this forum.
One of the cars has an Audi exclusive paint and interior, very special car.

Wow, I am truly impressed and jaleous at the same time. :boots: I wonder how is the overall reliability looking when the car is properly maintained and used by one owner from new. Any serious issues our cars are known for? I always believed these these cars are solid and biggest issues were short period owners who ride the $hit out of these cars with no maintenance... perhaps, I am wrong :roll:
