Hi folks

I've been thinking about buying an RS6 for some time and think I have found a good one...does anyone have any thoughts on this one?

Late model and low mileage and will have that 'almost new' feel that others migh not have........... 3G is a bonus..... but that's an hell of a lot of money for an RS6 nowdays

This might be sold by now, if not be quick!

Thanks Ian

I realise it is from a dealer so Im sure I would be paying a premium...how much do you think it should be?

I don't think its overpriced compared to others for sale considering its clearly incredibly clean, low mileage and its a 2009. However, 2008s with say 40k on the clock are so much less! A £38k RS6 has a hell of a lot more depreciation still to lose than a £30-32k vehicle. If you ran it for a year it might easily depreciate 10-12k bearing in mind deliveries of the new shape will commence before the end of 2013

Edit to add I don't think you are paying a premium buying from a dealer - I think its quite sensible buying from a dealer with a years warranty - but you are definitely paying a premium for a 2009 with 25k on the clock compared to a 2008 with 40-45k. However it does look incredibly good......

The car at Crewe was mine, so I can vouch for it. And it does have 3G :). It also has 2013 nav updates.

I notice a couple of completely plain Jane cars have gone up starting with a 4. Bonkers.

Maybe some context I can add. I paid the same as that for my 6 in Jan 2012 from an audi dealer and it had 29k miles at the time, but it was a lower spec.

Can you tell me more about the car please?

Cheers

Sure, what do you want to know?

It's been properly pampered as I'm anal like that.

No mods, other than wheels 'furbed in Titan. Will be due a service about now. Tyres are good, driver's side rear wheel wants a refurb. They should do all of that for the price. Paintwork is very good, the odd stone ship of course.

Great to know! Did you own the car from new? What extras did you miss on it if any?
Did you ever track it?

Thanks so much for your time

Cheers

Mike

Yes, from new. Not tracked.

Crewe's description is spot on to be fair. I'll dig out the list, and whizz it over to you.
