ALL c5 RS6's are money pits however you look at them.
the fact its got FSH is in its favour, check if its main dealer or specialist though, if its halfords it don't mean jack !
Mileage is high, but that doesn't mean its knackered. If you can get to see the log book and clock the last owner details that may help you decide ...after contacting them.
Just cause it says £800 spent on brakes, actually check what was done for that money ! That could just be 2 front OEM discs
gearbox is the ultimate decider, if its been a specialist or main dealer history, see if its had any work done to it, or if its been serviced at all. It could cost you £3k+ for a new slush box.
Like anything of an age though, it might seem perfect at the showroom then show signs of its age as you drive it in the first week/month.
it doesn't stand too bad in the pictures to be fair.
