Considering selling low mileage RS6 (13,000 miles)
Posted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 7:03 pm
I am possibly considering selling my RS6 and getting something different for my 50th this year, albeit it might not be for a couple of months and I will probably regret it as they are great cars.
I am therefore "just testing the water" at this stage and am wondering a) what it's worth and b) what interest there might be, possibly some I hope as I doubt anyone will find a lower mileage one and it is in excellent condition.
This car was originally bought new by a mature gentleman/company director as a second car and was kept garaged and used infrequently and between 2003 and 2008 only covered 3,300 miles (yes that's an average of 660 miles a year !). I am also a mature company director, have owned it just over two years, it is also not my everyday car and the car has just covered 13,000 miles in total (so I have increased the average mileage to 1,850 miles a year !) with c6,000 miles being on three trips to the Alps and the South of France.
The car has been 100% reliable other than having the DRC replaced with the new Audi variant under their goodwill programme and has been perfect since and is still under Audi warranty (plus Audi dealer warranty).
Details as follows:
2003 Avus Silver Audi RS6 Avant
Full Audi Service History
Audi dealer warranty until December 2011 and extendable for 1, 2 or 3 years - no limit on the warranty other than to the value of the car
Mileage 13,334
Options over standard: Electric slide & tilt Solar powered sun roof, Rear window blind, Electric folding door mirrors, Load safety net and Drilled RS6+ front discs
Modifications: None other than a Miltek non resonated cat back exhaust (this can be changed for the OEM exhaust if preferred which I kept as it had done virtually no mileage)
2008 (Dec) service included gearbox, cambelt, water pump, etc despite mileage only being 3,338 miles at that time. 2010 (Dec) service included new front tyres, front discs and pads fitted. Cambelt not due for replacement until December 2012 (4 years) - certainly won't be on mileage !
Excellent condition inside & out
The likelihood of finding another like this I would imagine will be very difficult if not impossible and any feedback would be appreciated
Regards
