    If you didn't buy a warranty (from Audi) I suggest buying one. Price is negotiable, although you may have to play one dealer off of another to get the price down. Warranty is nice piece of mind with this car.

I think I had a pretty good salesman who seemed to be pretty honest about everything that he knew about the car, but you never know. This was an Audi dealership!?? Damn, if you can't trust them who can you trust. Lol. Don't worry, take your time and you'll find the right one. I looked for almost a year myself before I bought mine.

    Just curious, why did your search take a year? What were you looking for that you couldn't find sooner?

    Well for me personally, I was looking for an RS6 in the mid $20k. 60-100k mileage, 1-2 owner but most importantly, I wanted one that had most (if not all) the receipts. You definitely want to know WHAT has been done to this car and WHAT needs to be done to it. You'll find the right one and when you do, you'll know it!
    Oh wait, that sounds dating advice!! LOL

    2004 model year. About 49,000 kilometers (30,400 miles) on it. Never winter driven. I have all service receipts. 2nd owner, but have owned it since 6000 kilometers were on the car.

    In mint condition.

    I have one for sale but don't know where to list it on this sight. Can't find a classified section. It's an Avus silver 35k mile car. Original owner, never tracked, no mods, never a dent. Always serviced at the dealer with all records. Lots of pics to send and the history in detail. New Blizzaks on aftermarket wheels. Anyone interested?

    62k miles. Avus silver. Service records from new and transferrable 2 year bumper to bumper warranty (legit transferrable, unlike some other posts). I'm at $26500 FIRM. Car has new tires and tons of other new parts. No paint. No ECU or trans flashes.

    I shopped around when I was looking for my RS6 which I recently purchased.

    http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...739685930.html

    I drove this one. It seemed pretty decent at a reasonable price (now $17k - even lower than when I looked). Seller seemed honest. It needs a few things- battery (it has been sitting and needed a jump), a few rattles(prob fixable), 96k miles (higher than I wanted), tires decent, timing belt reportedly done (I did not review records), recent brakes, 2nd owner (he's had it a long time as DD- since 30k?, he bought on eBay), ebony/black interior, hot weather package, no trans issues that I noticed (not an expert, however).

    No interest in this just passing it along.

    Whats the "parking assist". Is that just the back up sensor?? It makes it sound like the self parking stuff.

    I think the "park assist" is the Parktronic, which is just the bumper sensors.
