Someone’s had deep pockets to run this , plenty of points on the loyalty card for sure lol.

So what do we think of this then , price wise and mileage ? Seems like it’s been cherished and money spent on it, still looks great.

Looks fantastic for that mileage, the seats/interior hardly looks worn at all, my 105k miles seats look worse, and it's a good general spec too!

Front paint could do with a correction, the front discs are scored so could do with being replaced at the next service but it's had the coolant pipes done so I'd say that someone could get a real bargain there!

Years ago I developed a spreadsheet model for car residuals, and age is generally the dominant factor, rather than spec, condition, mileage etc. Mileage only costs about 0.4% per thousand miles compounded, at least for expensive German cars with big engines (Ferraris are higher).

Looking at RS6 values for the last year or so, it's rarity and age and galvanised body mean it's near the bottom of the depreciation curve, and age is becoming less important. The engine is expensive to rebuild, so the mechanics are a larger factor than for other cars, and mileage is more important.

Valuing a car with 213,000 miles is difficult, but Autotrader's own model says this one is worth £2292 less than asking. But online valuations aren't accurate are they? I did a survey this year and found that Parkers tended to under-value the RS6, HPI tended to get it about right, and Autotrader tended to overestimate, because it used asking prices rather than selling prices.

According to mot history on 8th October 2020 it had 213609 NOW its showing 213583 ???????????????????????????????

The photographs may just have been taken last month.

What I did notice is that it's done nearly 40,000 miles in the last year, and 140,000 in the last five.

Cars usually do high mileages to begin with, then get used less as they get older. This is completely bucking the trend.

I wonder if it’s standard or tuned, would make a big difference to longevity of drivetrain

Looks like its sold now.

Anyone here, I wonder?

10k for a V10. It's a no brainer

Mine is upto 154k miles at the moment, had it 4 half years now and bought it at 110k. So far basically everything hose/pipe/plastic related needs replacing
