Personally, I'd steer well clear.

Doesn't take much to make an RS6 cat D these days. I'd have to look very carefully at what was repaired and why. Might make a good track / project car.

Fair comment. If you can satisfy yourself about the extent and standard of the repairs, then you might have a reasonable car for less than £12k after DRC fixed (ie replaced).

its in oxford, take it to MRC and then you can decide whether its worth it..

I'd allow say upto £3k of repairs inc. DRC replacement

Otherwise not worth it

This makes me rage with anger , the mere fact that this is advertised has yet again devalued our cars . Some people now think this is a starting point for buying. As the Mooch had mentioned in a previous thread we as a club should buy all the beasts out there on sale to keep some sort of credibility in the 6,and take all this s***e out of the market place and use for spares.

Interesting front seats with perforated leather, never seen that before.

I'd buy it so long as it drove ok and I had a big chunk of cash (like another £8,000) spare to spend just in case there are any hidden issues, brakes, cam belt, tyres, gearbox, etc etc................

i think the seat fabric is the Hi-tec cloth - actually matches off nicely against carbon inlays - just my 2cts..... Looks cheap as long as you can get comfortable with the car's maintenance and insurance history.

Maybe. Good for a power circuit like the ring though. Plus you can get there in comfort ;)
