Just a feeler - selling my RS6 (?)

[jbtexas]

Well I certainly dont have a good track record for keeping cars very long, but this would be a record for even me.... :doh:

I havent made up my mind yet, so this is just a 'feeler'. A piece of property in the Texas Hill Country my wife and I have been watching has just dropped significantly in price. It seems that the current economy is good for anyone buying real estate with cash in hand. While I continue to love the RS6 experience, I might consider selling to infuse some additional funds for the land purchase.

I have made some great 'virtual' friends on this board, so I am interested in your perspective. Of course, I realize that the market for our cars is specialized, and for my car, probably even more specialized.

Avus/Black with all options except carbon fiber trim. I Bought the car with 85 real miles a few months ago, now it has about 2000 miles on it, mainly weekend excursions, some daily driving. Has been serviced meticulously, including full inpsection when I purchased, recent oil change, etc. Brand new Michelin Pilot Sports (less than 2000k miles on them). Full Audi/Fidelity platinum warranty through 2014 or 70k miles...transferable to new owner. The car is just perfect and essentially a brand new C5 RS6. It smells brand new, looks brand new inside and out, drives brand new. The previous owner <COLLECTOR>and myself have both babied this car, including absolute by the book break-in. I bought a full OEM carbon fiber trim package and it is new in the wrapping in my garage. I also have a brand new <NEVER used>RNS-E navigation that is new in the box, uninstalled.

I easily have $60k in the car+tax, including purchase price, shipping, service, tires, CF trim, NAV, etc. Receipts to substantiate. If I sell, I would be asking $52k for the car. I would also offer the option of purchasing the CF trim and the NAV separately at a reduced price to the buyer. If they didnt want them, I would sell separately.

Free and clear title in hand of course.

I will be wrestling with this decision a bit over the next week, and without any strong buyer interest, I might probably just wait. But wanted to get this out there just in case.

[DHall1]

Ok,

I have sent a PM.

I could own two of these beasts.

[DuckWingDuck]

LOL, I think for someone other than Dave, putting on those miles has pretty much wiped out the value of an "85 mile car". Good luck and hopefully you can close something with Dave because I don't think you'd be able to fetch more than low $40s out there.

I think you are wrong. Partly because of th 3 pms I have received in just a few hours without even listing the car, partly because the low $40s seem to be cars with 10-20 times the mileage. However, if you are right, I just wouldn't sell it...simple as that.

[DHall1]

Greg,

Your a tough sell. It only has 2,000 miles. Low 40s:rolleyes:

52k is a steal for that car. :addict:

haha, well, I was looking into something for someone elsee and was real depressed about the number. Certainly hope you get as high as possible!

With the long term warranty already (heck thats 3400 on top of what another cheaper car would cost) and if the next owner actually does keep it along time yep its a great car (for the right person that values perfection to the highest level)...problem is it still will loose value at an extraordinary rate...heck $8K+ already. My view though would be why spend the $52K if you can get cars in the 20K mileage range in excellent shape in the $30s. Felt that way when i bought mine used 3 1/2 years ago. Saved 8 or 9K off the lowest mileage examples and I'm still 10K upside down today on the value of my car. I did just see a 11,000 mile car somewhere in the low 40s. That would be the next step for this car. I'm sure jbtexas will sell it for the number he wants. There is more than one person out there that will see like he did the potential of this car at 85 or 2000 miles on it. And it is the last one clearly that low.

[mmaturo]

PS, jbtexas you may want to post this over on Audiworld.com in the RS6 section, there is a number of people lurking around still (that may be different from here) looking for good cars.

[kju]

this is just a insane offer

if i would have 52k i would buy it !

with 2k miles you can have very loong time fun with this car!

hope you get as much as possible!

[jbtexas]

Always an opinionated bunch... I love it, thats why I posted the feeler :D

Who knows whether I will do this or not.... its not that I am trying to be coy about it, I just really havent decided. However, in the spirit of the banter, here are some thoughts, no offense intended to anyone (really).

1- I highly doubt that anyone is really buying mint RS6 cars in desireable color combos in the $30s. I just dont believe that. Show me an example...even one. I am not talking about nice cars, ok cars, etc. Not talking about unusual colors, modified cars, worn seats, aftermarket wheels, etc. These things are all in the eyes of the beholder. After buying and selling lots of cars over the years, I know that OEM stock holds value best. So show me a bone stock OEM RS6 with low mileage in perfect condition selling in the $30s. Boy, I sure didnt see any of those during my extensive shopping. I saw some listed at that price. Some even with low mileage, but there was always a reason or story why...in many cases, it was a color combo that appealed to some, but not many.

2- I do think that the typical price point for a low mileage mint RS6 with the right color combo is probably the $40s. But in this respect, low mileage means 20k, 30k, 40k miles. Not 2k. There is no doubt that the buying market for a car like mine is going to be smaller. It would be someone who loves this car so much that they are willing to spend the extra $5-10k to have the very best example available (not trying to sound snotty, I just believe it to be). According to AOA, even at 2k, my RS6 is by far the lowest mileage one out there. It gives someone a lot of runway, and with basically just break-in miles, its about as new as you could possibly find. And fully warrantied. These are the reasons that I paid the premium when I bought it. And I knew that if I sold in the near term, I would take a hit...you pay to play, as they say.

Having said all this, if the car isnt worth pretty close to the $52k asking price, I will just sit. I love the car and have mixed feelings about selling so soon anyway. Again, the original post was just meant as a feeler :D

[Copper]

I paid $52,980 for my second RS6 with 22K miles on it on 8/8/07 for a mint example so even with the recent dip in prices.. $52K for an RS6 with those extra goodies and 2K miles is a great deal. I actually started to send a PM myself but realized my wife would divorce me or maybe shoot me if I bought another Avus Silver RS6.

[simon78]

Sent PM.

[DHall1]

Copper,

This is so true. I laughed so hard my side hurt. My Avus/Black just turned 28K miles and I can just picture the sight of me asking my wife about buying yet another RS6 with even lower mileage at 2K. :bow: :argue: :vgrumpy: :deal: :argue: :nana:

Thats about how it would go. Then she would drive down to Walmart and buy the biggest shotgun on the wall.

lol

LOL @ Copper :D

2 Avus RS6's in the garage and wanting to buy 3rd! hahah awesome

[DuckWingDuck]

copper recently sold one of his. The thing is copper, you bought it right around the same time I bought mine and the prices have dropped off a cliff between then and now.

[jbtexas]

Seems like there is a both a buyer and back-up buyer at asking price at this point... will let you guys know what I decide to do...thanks for all the feedback.

[LIRS6]

My first reaction was "good luck!" But thinking about it, YOU found value in an 85 mile car, so who is to say that others won't as well at 2085 miles. A key factor for me would be that this is now a 5 yr old car (style, features etc). On the other hand, I just put RNS-E in mine as I can't find any other car that gives me as much pleasure. Good luck

confused :confused:

[DHall1]

I think this reply strikes a chord with all of us. What is really out there to replace the RS6? What gives more driving pleasure yet can act so civil for everyday driving??

RS4=Comes close but size may be an issue for some and no turbo kick others.
E63=Again no boost and you have to rev that sucker to get the feel.
M3 or 5= Kinda plain looking if you ask me. They may handle well but no boost and again revving those things to the sky to feel some power.

For me, I dont buy because of the fancy bells and whistles. Its all about how the car drives and feels. And for that matter the styling. Audi RS6 and RS4 have the styling down with spades. For that matter even the AMG has a distinct look to it and its just a bad ass looking vehicle without putting wings and badges all over the place. Ditto on the 4 and 6. As for "5 years dated", I think it adds character to the overall package.

Fast forward 3 years from now. In another 3 years my RS6 may have 50k miles on it.....I will still have 3 years and 50k miles of Fidelity coverage left to drive without worry. What will all the new cars look like?? There will be something special about owning this car years down the road when all the new cars will look like Mazdas or Kias. Still the RS will not be flashy but distinct. Not many RSs will be left and running around the roads. I like that picture.

I guess thats why I settled on the RS6 and the second gen E55 with that fantastic supercharger. Our E55 feels like the GM muscle cars I built up 20 years ago. A big block Chevelle LS6 comes to mind...torque and grunt that would melt the pavement. I have been told that many a E63 buyer have traded back thier cars for the E55 because of the performance from that engine. I can understand why....no way I would want an E63.

I mean really, look at this bad boy!!!

1 badge and 4 rings. Pretty much all that needs to be said.

[Spidercat]

Jb, that brings up a good point. If you do sell the beast, with what would you replace it, especially since you won't have nearly as much to spend on the next car? I have a feeling there would be a huge void in your life for quite a while...

[DuckWingDuck]

the E63 takes the E55 at the top end but off the line E55 is still a better car.

[Copper]

Yeah, I sold the other one. Still, the way I rack up miles on mine I'm always on the lookout for another low-mileage example to rotate into.

I agree with Mr. Hall. I went shopping for a new car before buying RS6 #2 and really could not find an equal or better replacement. Until AoA decides to bring the new RS6 over I'll be sticking with the 2003 model for a few years. I use mine for business and the stealth factor is a huge deal for me. I used to drive BMW 5 series cars and would get constant ribbing from clients and customers alike. I get zero comments about driving "an Audi". The few who know what an RS6 is become instant friends, as they are true car enthusiasts.

I came really, really (did I mention really?) close to buying a black/black 2008 S6 that a local dealer had discounted $15K off sticker. It had been sitting for over 5 months in the showroom. I liked the way it looked, interior was a nice upgrade, overall a nice package.... I was good to go... until I drove it. Not even in the same league as the RS6 from a power delivery experience. (No offense to the S6 owners).

Hello, my name is Copper and I'm a boost addict.

[DHall1]

Copper,

Thanks and yes we are on the same page here. I have to admit reading some of your old posts put us in the same league.

Side note: Nice bike on the wall. Another common point we have. I have been a cycling nut forever. Mostly Mountain Bikes but love to train on the road with the roadies. My favorite ride of choice? Maverick ML7.5, the very last model hand built right down the mountain from me in Boulder, Co. Before that it was the Manitou bikes that were hand built in Manitou Springs, Co by one of founding fathers of Mtn Biking. Long live mtn biking and one of the reasons I chose the RS6 over the RS4. My Maverick fits in the trunk without any issue. (I dont like roof racks)

I'd have to admit I'm with Greg on this one. While I would think it great if you get your asking price, I'd also be amazed. You took a car with 85 miles on it (truely one of a kind) and put two thousand miles on it in a few weeks time. While still rare, there are other RS 6s available with less than 10K on the clock. 85 miles made it truely a collectors car, and even then, you haggled over the price. 2K miles, expect haggling. :)

Again, I wish you the very best of luck but $52K might be tuff to get. I say mid to high $40ks. :cheers:

Just to be clear, the 2000 miles were put on over months time. I have been a bit on the fence about whether to sell it anyway, now I almost want to list it just to prove the naysayers wrong! :D

You are telling me that if you were in the market for a pristine RS6 and were seeing cars in the mid $40s with 20,30, 40k miles you wouldnt spend the extra $10k to have one with 2k miles? Most of the 10k type mileage have been listed about $50k. I said in the beginning of this post that it is definitely a smaller buying population, no doubt about that.

By the way, I never viewed this as a collector car, even with 85 miles. Its a great car, but not limited production/unique/special enough to be a collector car.

To repeat, I would never sell the car in the $40s. So if you guys are right, I will be around for awhile :dig:

[DuckWingDuck]

lol, we certainly would want you to stick around even if you do sell your car

You are correct. I would not spend an additional $10K for 8,000 fewer miles. That would be insane. That works out to $1.25 for each extra mile! And certainly not if I plan on driving it as I will have 10,000 miles on the car in a few months anyway.

I am basing my numbers off a current ad of an RS 6 that is available right now just 35 miles from my zip code.

thanks man:applause:

Well, I just listed in Autotrader, lets see what happens...now I am interested to see where the market is. So far, I have an international buyer who seems very interested at asking price, but is trying to figure out all the import tax stuff, etc. I offered the car to an rs6.com board member at a reduced price, his if he wants it for an easy transaction. Otherwise, lets see what Autotrader does for the situation.

Certainly fully transparent about this car. I paid a hefty premium for it with 85 miles. I put a couple thousand miles on it over the last 3 months or so. Now it wont command as hefty of a premium, but I still believe it should command some premium. If anything, it is more perfect now than before, with proper inspection, break-in, oil change, brake job, brand new tires, professionally detailed. I figure I have it priced a little over the typical 20k low mileage type of cars, but not a lot more. Anything much less and its not worth selling it to me, as I am already "losing" considerable coin on it. I paid to play though...and could easily decide to just keep it. My land investment could wait I suppose...and maybe real estate prices will go down even more!

The previous post was right that there really is no substitute for this car in the market right now.

On a completely unrelated topic, I was at Volkswagen/Audi headquarters in Virginia (on Ferdinand Porsche drive :-) today on a business trip. I got off on one of the floors to literally run into a real R8 LeMans race car...all waxed up sitting right there on the carpet...sweeeeet

[Benman]

Jonathan,

By all means, keep the Beast, and, if the market is favorable in your direction, in a few months, pick up the land as well. :cheers:

In the end though, the Beast will continue to depreciate, whereas usable land is always a great thing to have. Hell, with the "fit", soon "hitting the shan", land might be a must own option. :D

Ben:addict:

[DuckWingDuck]

Going back a ways, for me, at 85 miles, this RS6 is a collector's car. All RS cars are by default limited edition vehicles, sure it's not crazy in the low hundreds like some of the Black Series cars that AMG is offering but there are less than 1000 of them running around the country.

[DHall1]

Its all about miles and condition.

This particular car has been kept in a sealed environment for 5 years.

All the other 10, 20, 30k cars have seen the daily fight on the roads. I have seen crappy 20k cars, crappy 35k cars and a nice 24k car. I bought that one. :-)

That all said, the 10k car listed below has no extras, no ext warranty, no service done to it. He can have it for 43k. Its got nothing.

Comeon guys. I dont want to talk anyone into JBs car but I may buy it just to spite everyone. Doh

If that ad is what it says it is, someone should buy that car over my car all day long. However, you must know the market well enough to understand there is a story here. 10k RS6 for $43k? Look at what the other 50 are priced at...which is within a few thousand of that price with 40, 50k miles? Just because something is listed doesnt tell the whole story of the car. Accident, repaint, salvage title, whatever. Again, if this car is pristine with those miles, its a steal and I cant argue with you at all...but I really doubt it. Have you seen the car?

By the way, this goes both ways. Here is a car with 20x times the mileage for about $5k less... which would you rather have...you wouldnt spend the $5k to get 20x times less mileage and a car that was in a bubble for 5 yrs? You see where I am going with this...

I think you should sell it no matter what kind of money you can get. Why?

Because for as little as you've driven it, I think you might as well have had it hanging on a wall in a frame. I mean how much fun is it to just look at it in your garage? Why haven't you driven it more? It's a crime!!

I've put more than 20,000 miles on my RS6 in a year and a half. Now that's enjoyment! :burnout:

My hope is that someone buys it who has a heavy foot and lots of money to spend on brakes and tires.:wo:

You do know that I bought it with 85 miles on it a few months back...(?) I put approximately 2500 miles on it in 3 months. Sure, not a lot of driving, but not sure I would describe that as hanging on the wall like a picture (?)

Just a data point: my super clean RS6 with 55K and fresh DRC traded at 32,000 and sold at the same. S6 is not the same, but its a great highway cruiser and power for passing. I don't really miss the RS6. I've sports cars for being fast. S6 for winter.

Good luck on your sale. I hope you get a good price and the buyer gets a good deal.

So which of your steeds doesn't get to sleep in the garage, GoFast? Your list of cars justs keeps getting better and better... I'd probably go into debt on the wax bill alone.

They all do, thanks. Seven slots, six steeds. :thumb:

Wax bill? :harass: I use Zaino Bros polymer. :applause:

Time to make a trip out to Wisconsin to rob GoFast. Haha.

What you should do is sell me that CLK 63 Black for cheap and buy the new SL 63 Black. Snapped some pics when a few of us rolled out to the LA Auto Show.

that SL63AMG Black is pure sex.... very cool

I think this reply strikes a chord with all of us. What is really out there to replace the RS6? What gives more driving pleasure yet can act so civil for everyday driving??

RS4=Comes close but size may be an issue for some and no turbo kick others.
E63=Again no boost and you have to rev that sucker to get the feel.
M3 or 5= Kinda plain looking if you ask me. They may handle well but no boost and again revving those things to the sky to feel some power.

For me, I dont buy because of the fancy bells and whistles. Its all about how the car drives and feels. And for that matter the styling. Audi RS6 and RS4 have the styling down with spades. For that matter even the AMG has a distinct look to it and its just a bad ass looking vehicle without putting wings and badges all over the place. Ditto on the 4 and 6. As for "5 years dated", I think it adds character to the overall package.

Fast forward 3 years from now. In another 3 years my RS6 may have 50k miles on it.....I will still have 3 years and 50k miles of Fidelity coverage left to drive without worry. What will all the new cars look like?? There will be something special about owning this car years down the road when all the new cars will look like Mazdas or Kias. Still the RS will not be flashy but distinct. Not many RSs will be left and running around the roads. I like that picture.

I guess thats why I settled on the RS6 and the second gen E55 with that fantastic supercharger. Our E55 feels like the GM muscle cars I built up 20 years ago. A big block Chevelle LS6 comes to mind...torque and grunt that would melt the pavement. I have been told that many a E63 buyer have traded back thier cars for the E55 because of the performance from that engine. I can understand why....no way I would want an E63.


Dave,
I was reading through some old posts and had to bump this one...lol:hihi:

[DHall1]

Yep,

Feel the same today. I may have guessed low on my mileage because it just ticked over 38k on the RS6. My cars are not going anywhere.
