First post: RS6 c5 - good purchase?

[DUR]

Hello all:

I'm writting from Madrid, Spain.

I currently drive a wonderful RS4 b7 Avant, that I'm soon trading in for a wonderful Porsche 964 C2.

As a family car , I'm thinking on buying a RS6 Plus c5 Avant that I've seen, which belongs to a collector.

I wanted to know if the c5 RS6 has been known for having any specific problems. What should I look after when buying the car? The car I've seen has 130.000 km on the clock, would that be too many?

Is the RS6 overall a good purchase?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers.

KM is only 1 small factor.. how it was driven, how often, service history is more important. You should read through this forum, this has been asked many many times. Essentially the main issues are torque converer/transmission, DRC suspension failing.

Its only a good purchase if its what you want.. only you can decide. Asking people on RS6.com, you can surmise what the answers will be!
