2004 C5 RS6 Avant for sale

Post by Trickymex » Sat Jun 23, 2018 2:29 pm

Sad to see her go but it doesn't get enough use and i need to focus on my new business


I am and enthusiast car owner and have owned everything from MK1 escort Mexico’s to TVR’s and Nissan skylines, This RS6 is one of the most enjoyable cars I have owned and it can do everything from a track day to a holiday trip.


I looked at a few of these before I purchased this example I have learned that with high performance cars its critical that they have been maintained correctly throughout their life, that is why I settled on this car. It has been maintained by main dealer and specialists since new with full service history and has had all of the right parts fitted for performance and reliability and has had the gearbox maintained.

Any work that has ever been needed has been done regardless of cost, including during my ownership and the car has just been fully serviced, had a new MOT in April. It has had 3 cam belt changes in its life - the last done 10k miles ago at 130K.

I wanted to make sure that I sold the car in great mechanical condition so I have had the below work completed in in the last couple of months at the cost of nearly £2k.

- New brake pads and disks on the front - £600
- New front upper arm bushes - £352
- Repair to exhaust bracket (It was slightly rattling) - £124
- New steering wheel clock spring (the connection from the steering wheel to the car) £612
- Full service (this week) £270


The car comes with:

- Optional full black optics kit (Black exterior trim to replace the standard brushed aluminium - Grill surround, etc..)
- Colour coded mirrors
- Fully de-badged
- Aluminium trim
- 19” wheels
- Black leather
- Heated front and rear seats
- Sat nav (Not currently working correctly - They are old school anyway)
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Paddle gear change
- Sport mode
- Cruise control
- Plus all the usuals
- Comes with the private plate


Upgrades fitted:


- Fully adjustable Bilstein coil overs- Standard DRC suspension its a common failure point
- Full Milltek exhaust system
- Hotchkis anti roll bars
- Pheaton front brake cooling ducts (Better brake cooling)
- Unit 20 stage 1 remap approx 480 bhp


The car is currently at nearly 140k miles. The Service book is fully stamped and is now on a second service book. See below for service history.

There is folders full of receipts and history and the car has been very well maintained to ensure it is mechanically up to scratch but keep in mind that the car is 14 years old and so is not in perfect cosmetic condition, expect age related marks including stone chips and some lights scratches.


Points to note:

- The roof lining is now sagging
- The wheels are straight but need a refurb as they are curbed
- In my opinion the car is too low and a bit of a hard ride so the next step fro me was to raise the car up by about 20mm to make it more comfortable (Easy to do with the Bilsteins fitted)
- There is a chip in the windscreen (This does not affect it passing the MOT)
- Sometimes the rear parking sensor plays up


This really is a great car and the new owner will not be disappointed, I have made sure that the car is fully serviced and had all the required maintenance completed before I sold the car on so that the new owner does not have any maintenance bills at least until next years service.

I am happy to take anyone for a spin but no test drives unless you can demonstrate fully comprehensive insurance or put the cash in my hand to the value of the sale.

No tyre kickers or time wasters - if you have any questions feel free to call me on 07841 611 375 or message me.

Car is located in Waltham Abbey, Essex and is cleared funds on collection, either bank transfer or cash

£7500

Simon's old car, he lives locally to me in my home town of Bedford and had the car for several years. I'm biased perhaps, but a very good example for an extremely good price! Ive also bought a car from Fontain and used TT Shop Bedford for service work - both receive a thumbs up from me.

Thanks Ian,

I bought the car off of the guy Simon sold it too. It’s been a great car and very reliable. My only criticism is that it’s a little too low and hard but that could just me getting old and is easily adjusted.

Glad to see she's still going strong and on the original gearbox. How I miss that car!

I hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I did in nearly 7 years.
