I paid too much for my BEAST

[Brav]

I bought my first RS6 2 months ago and paid infinitely too much as I can't drive it. The previous owner was a smoker and although the smoke smell is gone it still bothers me. I can't drive it for more than 5 minutes without feeling sick.

So yeah! You could say I paid too much.

But, I just got another one. Paid $27,000 US to the 2nd owner of this car. It had 37500 miles on it when it was picked up in Chicago. Of course, I had to pay a few thousand dollars to get it shipped to Calgary, and a few more for duty and taxes, but it was worth it. This new car is spotless. I cannot find a scratch, chip, or dent on it. The previous owner was meticulous. He drove it for only 10,000 miles. He bought it from the original owner who was, get this, an 80 year old lady.! Apparently, her rich son bought it for her. This car has been pampered. It's like it was in a time capsule. So despite taking a bath on the first RS6, it was worth it. I just drove it through some twisties near my house. Oh yeah! It was worth it!

Attached is a photo of my "fleet" before I liquidate. Although I love the S6, it's got 190,000 km on it and it just doesn't generate the excitement that it used to. The "new" RS6 is closest to the camera.

We are distributing our ozone machine to dealers in Canada soon.. 30 bucks and in 30 minutes it will remove all cigarette smells and most any other smell. You can probably find a high end detail shop which may have a generic ozone machine. Depending on the brand, they can work very well. Some may require more time then others but worth a shot if its driving you crazy.

I bought my RS6 two weeks ago. I flew to Ft. Lauderdale FL to pick it up and then drove home to SLC in 2.5 days. What a wonderful drive...only wish it was longer. I paid just under 25K for a two owner car complete with all service documents, MTM tune for the ECU and TCU plus Miltek exhaust. Every leading edge is covered in 3M clear-bra and there isn't a scratch anywhere and the interior is just as pristine. It has 70K on the clock and I couldn't be happier. Its at the dealership right now (which sucks)...leaky output shaft seal and bad wheel bearing. ALL covered under the included Fidelity Platinum extended warranty that came with it. The way I see it, the cost really isn't the point. Its the catharsis of driving in a vehicle you go back out to the garage just to look at two minutes after you've parked it. You can't put a price on that. Life is often sh!t. So I feel quite lucky and I very much appreciate being able to have a car that makes me feel like that.

Very well said!... And welcome to the board!

Thanks Brav. I've tried that already but unfortunately it didn't work for me. The smells gone but there's something left that just kills me. Others have driven it without any issues, but all I have to do is open the door on a warm sunny day and I just about fall over. My health's not worth it, so that's why I found the second one. And it is so worth it. The first one and the S6 are up for sale.
