advise on purchase 2004 rs6

[diegogotegui]

Hello I’m from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><ST1:pMéxico City </ST1:p</st1:City>and currently stumbled on the opportunity of trading in my car (2007 325 bmw, lots of mods) for a 2004 rs6. I have driven an rs6 before and think its scary fast and even more so here in <st1:City w:st="on"><ST1:pMéxico City</ST1:p</st1:City> due to the altitude and the loss of hp compared to N/A cars.<O:p</O:p
The car in question has <st1:metricconverter w:st="on" ProductID="14,400 km">14,400 km</st1:metricconverter> and looks flawless. But I have been told that these cars have some problems that should be addressed before buying them and if so how expensive is the maintenance of the same.<O:p</O:p
Thanks.<O:p</O:p

Diego,

Buy the car. Educate yourself on maint and upkeep.

Use the search button. Its your friend.

Diego,

DHall1 is right, use the search function and pay attention to the DRC system and transmission.

If you're coming over from even a 325, be prepared for a much higher maintenance and upkeep. Remember, even though you may be buying it for X now, it was a $100K car and as such, its services costs and upkeep will be similar to other $100K cars like Porsches and what have you.

Thanks allot guys for your replies I wanted to ask this because dealers here in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><ST1:pMexico</ST1:p</st1:country-region> tend to either neglect or simply forget to check certain aspects of used cars when taken on a full service. Anyways I decided not to get the car for some of the reasons stated above I am a little worried about he maintenance costs on the long run and since im still in college that is a problem for me This kind of high end cars seem to be a bit on the delicate side for example dad used to have an m5 and after six months of ownership and 2 smg gearboxes bmw Mexico finally decided to buy it back from him. Anyways thanks for everything for those wondering I went with a grand Cherokee srt8<O:p</O:p
