I would think for that price, at that dealership, something has or is about to go boom. Notably the $8k transmission...

Buy a car from a proven forum member, although it looks like you're trying.

**DHall1** · July 11th, 2015, 05:44

I can pretty much guess that the transmission is bad on this one.

Look at the purchase history and the last 5k miles.

Run

You guys really think run on a 79K car? Interior looks pretty good, Carbon trim, SE Exhaust. I can swap the tranny for cheap....relatively since I will now have an extra one???

**orcars6** · July 11th, 2015, 06:53

But gooseleg wants it...will you be his new tech. hahnmgh63?

**Turbowned** · July 11th, 2015, 14:42

Should've listened.. For those of you thinking of getting rid of your RS, don't do it you'll regret it and find yourself traveling the country to find a suitable replacement.

**DHall1** · July 11th, 2015, 22:34

True words!

Why do you think I keep adding to my stable.

3 and counting

Every time I think of selling, I think "hmm, what else can I buy under $25k that would be anywhere near as good?"

Nothing. There is nothing with four doors, AWD and over 400hp that can compare. The only suitable replacements I would consider would be a B8 S4 with exhaust, pulley and tune, or a D3 S8. C7 S6 needs to depreciate more still. I've also considered consolidating from the RS6 and the 911 to a TT RS but then I'd have an uglier car than the 911 with less practicality than the RS6. Better just keep the RS6 forever!

Looked at car listing? They want $17 grand for a car with those codes! WTF! I looked at the price for possible part car! Does it even RUN? Did you drive it after your Flight?

Maybe we all can pool our money and buy it (for less than they are asking) and chop it up for parts.

I'll take the front bumper cover. I repaired my underbelly pan as Audi want's $600 for a new one and the stock A6 pan will not fit our cars.

**gooseleg** · July 14th, 2015, 02:53

Yeah, I drove it, turbos will need replacing they are loud and the car has a lag, the power band is not as smooth as my prior. I offered 10k for it and they said no and they are sending it to the auction.

**Zmey** · July 14th, 2015, 03:55

Sorry I'm a little late for this party. I haven't been on this forum for some time now. If i have seen your post earlier I could've saved you a trip.

**DHall1** · July 14th, 2015, 05:07

Which is why you read the carfax

When you see dealer after dealer flipping the car and repeated owners over few miles
