This is car i'm looking at , BTW. Is it well specced or is this all standard equipment?

Audi RS6 quattro finished in Avus Silver with black alcantara/leather interior. Specification includes anti-lock brakes, climate control, 6 CD autochanger, remote control volumetric alarm, power-assisted steering, driver/passenger and front side airbags with sideguard, 19" 5 arm alloy wheels, cruise control, satellite navigation Plus, electronic stability programme, front/rear heated seats, driver/passenger electric Recaro sports seats, driver/passenger electric seat lumbar support, immobiliser, front fog lights, electric/heated Aluminium door mirrors, headlamp wash, front/rear acoustic parking, electric driver/passenger seat height adjustment, front/rear armrest, front/rear electric windows, remote central door locking, xenon headlamps, rake/reach adjustable steering column/wheel, TV reception, automatic dipping rear view mirror, BOSE sound system and drivers information system (dis). Tyre pressure monitor, black alcantara headlining and cross drilled brakes.

The alcantara/leather is a no-cost option. Everything else is standard, apart from the cross-drilled brakes, which are a 'cost' option. If the interior trim is brushed aluminium that is too.

If the seats themselves are alcantara/leather combination, then that was a £1450 option (at least, that's what I paid).

Yep, drilled discs were £600.

If the interior trim is brushed aluminium that is too.

There were a number of no-cost options for the trim - brushed ali/carbon fibre/grey poplar.

But yes, that car sounds to be pretty close to base spec.

Thanks for replies. The seats are alcantara/leather, dash CF effect. Can anyone answer the timimg belt question pls? Checked @ 20k miles , replaced @ 40k ?
TIA

Hello Tony
I looked at that car on Saturday, Is it the one at Epsom?
I've bought the one at Crawley and pick it up Saturday. I had the same questions as you and with a little bit of lurking here found the answers. Enjoy

Hi m8,
yes, that's the one. Congrats on your purchase Could you let me know answers too pls

Solar Sunroof was also an option, but i'm guessing yours does not have this, as you've not listed it.

Timing belt is correct. Check at 20K miles at a cost of £450 on top of the standard 20K service, then replace at 40K miles at a cost of nearly £1000 on top of the standard service.

I think the leather/alcantara combo was standard if all the same colour, but a cost option it both materials are different colours. I saw an RS6 at the Audi Driving Experience last week that had black leather & what looked like Nogaro Blue alcantara, that would have been a cost option.

Tony, I may be taking a trip down south to Nottingham and London late next week to look at a few potential car buys so if you want to see mine then, more than welcome and we can meet up.

Black saloon
Nov 2003
14,500 miles
Drilled discs
De-chrome option, black suede wheel/gear, alcantara rooflining, etc
Tyres all round recently
Had three services in that time with last one just 2 days ago.

She's good to go. Will be looking for £40k if I decide to sell, which I think is a good price.

Very kind offer, thank you. TBH, £40k is too much. I've already tested the Epsom car and loved it. I'll be looking to change car at year end.
Thanks again.
