Warranty

[Northerner]

I'm about to take the plunge on a high spec 63'plate RS6 but it looks like Audi may not offer a warranty for it.

Has anyone had an non-audi warranty on their c7 rs6 and how did you fare with any claims?

Details of car?

[Northerner]

63 plate, 40k miles, panther black, B&O hifi, Pan roof, Dynamic Plus inc ceramics, Heads up display, advanced key + hands free boot opening, carbon pack, 21" wheels and sports exhaust

Is it on a OY or O* plate? Sounds suspiciously like an early Audi UK car.

The reg is BD63VNV

If you can prove that the car was faulty when you bought it, the trader must pay for a repair.
You have legal rights for up to 6 years, but only if you can show that you didn’t cause the fault. The longer you’ve had the car, the harder it will be to prove that the problem was there when the trader sold it to you.
Plus, you’ll only have legal rights if the car is not:
‘of satisfactory quality’ - it should do what you’d expect for its age, price and type
‘fit for purpose’ - eg if you asked for a car that would pull a caravan, it has to be able to do that
‘as described’ - it has to match the advert or the description the trader gave you

How much is it on for?

if audi are not offering a warranty I would not touch it. why have the hassle.

Update - BD63 was the original plate not the current private reg plate which is being swapped over, hence the audi warranty quotes failing. Audi have now confirmed they will offer the extended warranty on the car.

Which options have people gone for on the extended warranty (all component vs named component; excess 0/100/250)?

Ceramics!
Get it bought

BD means it was originally sold by Birmingham Audi.

Is it the car at Redline?

TBF, I'm amazed people are still willing to chuck £50k+ into these RS6's which are coming up to 5 years old.

Agree I bought a c6 rs6 for 38k at 3.5 years old from Audi with 29k miles. C7s at 5 yrs old should be around the same money

[doodlebug]

Agreed. That's daft money.

Yes, its from Redline. The price may be a little toppy, however its my ideal colour/spec combo. What else can you get with this balance of performance, space & comfort for the money?

Nothing is the answer.

5yrs old? Have we fast forwarded a year?

Earliest C7's have literally just turned 4yrs old.

4yr old C7's are worth, or should be worth £45-50k today.

The C7 RS6 was announced in December 2012, and the order book opened in March 2013. So it's getting on for 4.5-5yrs.
