Is there any negatives to buying a Japanese imported rs6, other than clocks in kmh!
Also is it best to look for low milage rs6 , 60,000 miles or go for higher milage 120,000 that’s had the dreaded oil seal done

Re: Buying a import
Did you mean to post this on the C6 forum? No oil seal problems with the C5.

Re: Buying a import
Well it depends on a few factors. Firstly can you say which part of the world you live in as this will dictate which side of the road you normally drive on.
In Japan they usually drive on the left-hand side of the road meaning they are normally right hand drive cars (like UK). However, it gets more complicated! Foreign cars in Japan are quite often supplied in left-hand drive form because many Japanese believe left-hand drive car shows wealth because it is imported.
So let’s first establish which car you need RHD or LHD
