You're getting rid of her cos she kerbed 1 wheel? Fair play.

Regarding rear bumper scuffs, when I had mine detailed when it was a few weeks old it already had plenty of scuffs so I had paint protection film applied for £20.

As a new owner of a 14 plate I think you have to decide what you want and what you can afford. I looked at FL cars but it was just beyond my budget with some of the spec I wanted.
There is a mass of help and advise on this forum but if you worry too much about each individual issue you wouldn't actually buy one.
Mine is on 21's and imo they look far better than 20's. I've not experienced any excessive noise on motor ways. I've got a few issues but that's just buying a used car. Hopefully will all be sorted soon.

I dont worry that much, I just want to be prepared.
Can you describe what kind of issues you have?

I'm going to buy in March an used RS6 C7 2013/14 with a max of 60000km (about 40k miles) with Dynamic Pack (or Dynamic Pack Plus, depends on what i find) and i would like to know a few things about it.
First of all i'll be using the car as a daily driver.
1. Does it have any common faults?
2. What should i check when i go to inspect the car at the dealer?
3. How reliable is it for you guys?
4. If i get the Ceramic brakes, how long do they last compared to normal ones and are they worth?
5. How comfortable is DRC in Comfort mode?
6. How must the gear box shift? Smooth or a bit clunky?
7. Please fell free to add any extras.

Hope my english was good enough for you guys to understand.

Thank you in advance,

Radu
I have used 2014 model: no issues, I recommend to buy car from Audi center it's very convenient and safe, also check do car has Audi approved program it's also important

Can you guys tell me the exact specs for 20" and 21" wheels? I would like to also buy a second set so that i can have a set for each season.
I would also like to know your experience with the ceramic brakes. How much pads and disks last, the fell, stuff like that.

Not a problem for me. I only have one child. And in rare cases there are 4 people in the car. Is it worth? I see that is has the audi plus inspection and that color tho .

Forgot to ask one thing at the start of the topic:
Matrix headlights, are they good? Do they come in the dynamic pack?

LED headlights were an option on pre facelift (xenon as standard). Matrix LED only available on facelift and was standard. I think the matrix LEDs are very good.
But this may vary in other countries.

Is there a way of telling if the car has them or not? A saw a few with regular xenon and the rest it says LED headlights but no mentioning of Matrix.

If it pre facelift with LED headlights they will not be Matrix, just normal LED.
If it is facelift it will be matrix headlight as there was no other option in the UK. I have a feeling matrix was optional in Europe though.
