I bought this car as an ex-demonstrator in January 2005 and have had such fun driving it that I have managed to put 171,000 miles on it.

Full service history, tax till March and MOT to November. Mugella blue with silver seats.

MRC tuned and maintained. Coil overs, stage 1 and gearbox re-mapped. Service, cambelt and oil pipes just replaced. New tyres (continentals). No faults and drives like a dream. Seriously tempted to keep it for another 100,000 miles but might sell if anyone interested.

wow! 170+k!

same gearbox !?

how much ? pics?

Fair play to you mate that must be one of the highest out there! It must be blessed so would suggest be a excellent purchase! Give us your secret ? Is it the same main parts such as IC's gearbox etc etc? GLWS that said you must love it by now and be sad to see it go!

I don't know about anyone else but it's refreshing to see a forsale post from someone who didn't just join yesterday.
GLWS and rule 1 my son!

171k Blimey

Price and pics. Be interesting to see how much this one is worth.

Hi - same gearbox, no problems. MRC flushed it through a few times when they took over servicing and it has been perfect since. Same intercoolers. I also probably average 23 mpg over the last 5 years so it has not been thrashed although the gearrbox remap helped.

Would sell for £10k probably not for less. I'll keep it as a winter car as I have stuck Michelin Alpines on for the winter plus chains when needed. Better than a landrover!

I'll try and post pictures

Have tried to sell a few times but always backed out. There is nothing better out there

That's just over 20,000 a year which is about average ...... I bet there are others that are heading towards or are at that mileage already. I don't see a problem if as the op has stated there is fsh and maintained by a specialist Are you lot trying to drive prices down? I would rather have a higher mileage sorted example used every day than a lower mileage one that needs everything done!
GLWS and as bam said piccies as that will help with sale

Full respect. Good to hear it's been used and reliable.

Maths corner: 171000 miles @ 23mpg = 7400 gallons = 33800 litres of fuel.
At today's fuel prices, that would be (drum roll please)... over 47 000 british pounds spent on fuel.

With the car costing 10K GBP, I am slightly reminded of the pricing scheme for laser printers and mobile phones - the hardware is mostly free and the consumables cost. BP should be giving away free RS6s.

Cheers, Richard.

Dont ever make that quotation again, its not a good avertisement

Thats a superb MPG!!! so in reality or compared to other cars that a considerable saving over that mileage and time frame! I think 10k for this car with that mileage would at first glance seem a little optimistic... however its a proved realiable and economic machine and as Amanda says all the work done to it.... Might prove to be a bargain in the mid term if you think about it. We'd need to see the whites of its eyes I think however to offer an honest appraisal. 20,000 miles a year is now the national average?? I thought it was 12k.....

It is 12k as far as I know.

GLWS - not in the market for the C5... YET...
What was the original OTR price for one of these?
