hi Jonny11 if you were near and had a look that would be great, it seems that there might be quite a few question marks against this; and this is on top of the normal rs6 questions / issues.....

i have found a couple of others....

Yeah look, before fussing over piping and mirrors let's establish the basics:

- HPI Check
- History
- No of Owners
- DRC - what exactly was done and how long is it covered for
- Cambelt Date
- Brakes/Tyres
- Independant Inspection for detail on those things that the naked eye can't diagnose

Price is healthy and a quick seach will reveal a few with drc replaced with coilies and much of the maintenance spend taken care of.

PH has a few tasty examples.

Give Audi customer service a ring give them the reg of the car you are thinking of buying and they will let you know of all warranty work and all Audi service thats has been done.

This one looks quite tidy :-) all the bits in the right place, probably worth a look
And about the right price

Watch this space :wink: , albeit a bit more pricey. I have been meaning to advertise my car for weeks but just can't face selling it; anyway I hope to at least advertise it here in the classifieds by end of the day :cry:

I am sure I speak for many on here, keep looking and you will know the car that is right when you see and drive it.

Do your reaserch and make a list of pro´s and cons of each car you look at.

The fewer good cars there are the better for those of us with them.......

Trust me the wait is worth it..... good things come to those that.... and all that.

Good luck!

i have had a chat with the guys on that one.....was modded which i wasnt a fan of, especially reading what uprated power does to the gearbox, also pretty sure that its on the original drc, which i would want the price of replacing that off the price. its my favourite colour combo though......

jonny very kindly has had a look at the one in kingston for me and has given me some great feedback.....

i think that i like the look of these two better.....epecially the first one, new gear box at 35k and drc replaced at that time aswell but at the moment i dont know with what......

Top one seems a lot of money to me and i would want to know the spec of the bottom one even though it says FULLY LOADED.
People selling on here in the past have thought theirs have been fully loaded but with a fair few things missing.

Dunc
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

i did wonder what they meant when they said fully loaded - what things can they have extra put on these? i thought that there was a type of roof that you could get, but what else? the reason i liked the look of these was that they seemed to be fairly unmolested, and lowish miles? andy

just been to look at the one in kingston, turns out that its a mates of his car, didnt seem to know much about it and i dont think that he knows that he's asking top money, i had a quick look around it and it looked abit unloved....i think that its about a £15k car.......has had the drc done though!
