2003 RS6 Saloon, Mugello Blue - priced to sell

[rossm]

Hi, we regretfully have our 2003 RS6 Saloon for sale with ~76.5k miles in Mugello Blue and full black leather interior. Same owner for >3 years, extremely well maintained and regularly cleaned/polished inside and out. All the common RS6 weak points have been addressed (DRC/Gearbox/Leaking intercoolers/alternator), over £3k spent in the last 4 months with RS specialists.

Maintenance history in my ownership as follows:

02/05/08 (52,182 miles) - Rear diff replaced due to intermittent locking and vibration. Secondary air pump replaced as noisy [Hatfield Audi]
Purchased 29/10/07 (47,843 miles) - Full service with cambelt change [Hatfield Audi]

The car was purchased from Hatfield Audi and has full proof of Audi service history prior to my purchase. It also has a Parrot bluetooth hands free kit fitted.

Mechanically the car has been fastidiously maintained with all recommendations dealt with whenever identified. The wheels were refurbished over summer 2009 by Max Powder alloys of Hemel Hempstead, and all TPMS sensors were changed at this time. One wheel could do with a refurb but the other 3 are in good condition. Rear tyres have >6mm tread, fronts have 4-5mm of tread.

There is a minor scratch on the front nearside wing and another in the rear nearside door, but other than that the bodywork is in good condition and polishes up to a great finish. The front end of the car has minor stone chips along the bonnet leading edge but is in much better condition than 76.5k miles would suggest. Pictures to follow, will link to the Pistonheads advert when submitted this weekend.

We will really miss the car but have a baby due very soon and are looking to get a more cost effective car so unfortunately the RS6 must go. We live in St Albans and can be contacted via the forum or on 07932 667710.

Please no advertising agencies.

Realistically priced at £12,250 for a quick sale.

Thanks, Ross

Ross, hopefully it will move quick for you.... sorry to see your selling

Thanks Steve, bit of a heart wrenching decision but financially it makes sense... At least that's what I keep telling myself!

Thanks all!

Forgot to mention, I have a click4warranty policy on the car which is fully transferrable and expires on 01/03/11. This helped cover some of the costs of work over the last year and has paid for itself already. Max claim limit of £7k, and also covers wear and tear items with a 10% excess on repair costs due to the mileage/age of the car.
