I'm sure I'm forgetting something....but looking to get $28k. If this seems like too much, then buy a lower mileage car and exercise all these demons yourself. This is a very well sorted car, and needs nothing (other than a front bumper respray, which can be done by request). I also have the OEM wheels with Pirelli wintersport 240"s mounted, although the car rarely saw snow.

Pat, you know you will regret it. Just sayin...

[4everRS]

I have an odd numb feeling about this. Whoever gets this car will be very happy for a long time. Pat, don't forget the uninstalled meth kit on your list!

[ben916]

what the HELL?!?!?!

[V8weight]

Pat, you know you will regret it. Just sayin...
Well, I don't have the tools to do the next timing belt service, so I might as well ditch the car....

[Jimmy Joe]

With what are you going to fill the void, if you don't mind my asking?

[V8weight]

With what are you going to fill the void, if you don't mind my asking?
No idea...I'm kind of burned out on cars in general. I don't have the time or desire to hide out in the garage for days on end and maintain this type of car anymore. I just want something normal....with a warranty.

[Jimmy Joe]

They call that combat fatigue. It'll come to pass, but I kind of symphatize with you. We'll miss your expertise, but I hope you don´t forget your friends on the forum. Many thanks for your invaluable help all this time.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[Hammer]

Well Pat,

I'm new here but wanted to encourage you regarding your car. You have made a beauty and it is obvious that you enjoyed yourself in the process.
Would hate to see you sell this because you don't have the proper tools for a procedure. I just got mine and personally don't think I'll ever part with it.

Did your set go missing? I know you were lending them out at one point......

[ttboost]

Another one finally came to his senses....

It was just a jab :) They were lost in the mail the last time I lent them out..

[marklar182]

That blows. USPS at it's finest!

[JRS-RS6]

I have been off of the forum for quite some time, just stopped in to see this. Will really be sorry to see you go Pat.

[JSRS6]

Oh, haha. Ive been on ups about that. Ill call again today.

[kevin]

you can borrow mine!!!

[JT]

Wow - beautiful car!

[vitalian]

what the HELL?!?!?!

I'm with Ben! Say it ain't so!

lol...that's the exact reason I moved TO an RS6...I know it's still work, but compared to the upkeep on a Skyline...

but I do understand the "combat fatigue"...I got into a street fight with a Porsche 997TT and switched to high boost, then forgot to switch back. A few days later, I popped an intercooler pipe giving it the beans on an offramp, and of course it had to be the one behind the bumper and not in the engine bay. If you can get both hands on a Skyline intercooler pipe, fitting it back into the coupling takes 2 minutes and maybe 2-3 more to screw the clamp back on. Lying on the shoulder of the road with one hand shoved into a brake cooling duct and a flashlight in my mouth, doing everything with one hand - an hour. Said a lot of bad words in that hour...

Dude! Just stop modding and start enjoying.

The dude with the pink shirt, or the one taking a dump in his jeans...?

[Pit Viper]

Can you drive over to Hutchinson and give my wife a ride, so when I fly up next week I can buy your car and drive it home? :)

[vr430]

Hey there! I got your PM, been pretty swamped lately. I'd like to grab a beer sometime.

Join the club. My head is so far below the waterline I think I am starting to grow gills! Sunday will work great.

[Chung]

Lol, give your wife a ride...

There is my contribution to the tread jack and I apologize for being immature.

[MaxRS6]

The RS6 world wouldn't be the same without ya...

[nene]

Beautiful car. Sorry to see you'll have to get rid of it.
I always take a break between mods so I get to the enjoy it. You have to pace yourself. So much can be done on these beasts.

Good luck.

[Benman]

Pat, you know you will regret it. Just sayin...

^^This.^^

Everyone does.

[skribe]

Oh fuck this. This is the worst thing I've read in a week of reading bad things. This is like finding out rocket was a roid monkey. That Santa drinks pepsi. That Fabio wears a wig. This just sucks. Facepalm, headslap, oops I just shit myself.

[speedtrapped]

^^^^, Pat how many guys have come back to this site after they sold their beast and shared their regret with everyone.

[ttboost]

Wait...Santa drinks what?

[eurotunedrs6]

Wow, you are one of the guys that seems more equipped to keep the RS6 forever since you know how to do so much work on them.

Ive come to my senses and decided to keep mine with the hopes of going 6 speed one day. If you really do decide to sell your car, good luck. Im sure you will find a buyer pretty quickly since your car is in such great condition.

[V8weight]

Bump.....My car is currently at the Audi dealer having the fuel tank replaced under the recall action. When it's finished, I plan on leaving it there and driving away with something else. I'd prefer to see the car go to an enthusiast, so if you have any interest now is the time.

damn it, pat!!!!


Any plucking of parts?

[MaxRS6]

:(- Bummer- I hate to see ya jump the train but I wish you the best of luck!

[ttboost]

quitter...

[lswing]

Too bad, I just joined, and it's a high powered picky car, but older. I drop a few $k here and there but it's still nowhere near buying a BMW or Amg and still shelling out. Might be one of the best cars I've been able to drive, although the low speed shudder as I turn out of my driveway pisses me off:)

[vodeftones]

Pat are you wrenching now or still the service manager? Is the car at Maplewood or Carousel? I know what you mean about getting burned out though. I work on so many other peoples cars the last thing i want to do at night is stay late and work on my car.

I left auto edge a month ago and went back to wrenching. The cars sitting at carousel right now.

Any chance of trading factory SE exhaust plus cash before she goes....maximize your return

He has Eisenmann race exhaust...

[na1mt]

Didn't type right. My SE exhaust + cash for his Eisenmann

[RSSIK]

Dont mean to get too personal but being your car is upgraded in more ways than one, what is the dealership willing to give you for it as a trade?

[snoopra]

Pat, you'll regret it for sure. Getting a S8? CTS-V?
Don't do it! LOL
Might as well get rid of ALL those great tools in the garage, I have a great home for them.

[V8weight]

The car is sold guys...I appreciate all of the positive comments. The new owner is registered here, hopefully you can give him some direction in the future, although I can't imagine there's anything left to do on this car. Cheers!

[covertw12]

Congrats on the sale - I'm sure it's bittersweet ( I know mine will be...) and thanks for all the info you've shared. What's going to replace it ?

Cheers ~

E

[skribe]

Yeah, Pat, don't make me pick up the phone. What's the story?

[V8weight]

Yeah, Pat, don't make me pick up the phone. What's the story?
Hahaha, It's long....Short story...I've blown my car fuse. All three of my cars are on the chopping block.

[DHall1]

Yeah,

25% of the cars on the road dont have car insurance. Yet, I have 5 that mostly stay parked and I pay for all the deadbeats. It gets old.

Hell, 50% of the mortgages in FL are in default....again, who pays bills anymore.

[eurotunedrs6]

Hmm, for a second I was thinking you were going to get a TTRS that comes with a warranty like you wanted. I dont post a lot, but I have appreciated all the help you always give and the good deal on the timing belt kit too!!

[ben916]

The car is sold guys...I appreciate all of the positive comments. The new owner is registered here, hopefully you can give him some direction in the future, although I can't imagine there's anything left to do on this car. Cheers!

Can I suggest Pat's traveling timing belt service as a company?
Peeps pay for your plane ticket.
You bring the tools and your mad wicked skills.
Peeps set a time, place for timing belt fever.
You do your thing(s).
You get some $$$$ (even though the US dollar is on a rollercoaster)
You get a vacation.
EDIT: and a case or three of beer of choice but NO Mexico...

I am willing to bet that this new venture will perhaps take place and/or start in December or January - San Diego, Orange County or Casa Grande are nice and sunny during those times...

[DHall1]

sniff, sniff...there goes another RS6

Yeah, the dates need to be Jan/Feb. Its so friggin hot here we cant even get 6am tee times with temps under 100. Its a real pisser.

4 days seems to be the max these cars are up for sale. gottabe quick. especially when they are a premo specimen like this one.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

[kismetcapitan]

there's an RS6 on a used car lot here in Nashville that's been here awhile, relatively speaking. It's Daytona Grey and beautiful, but I decided to buy mine from a hardcore enthusiast where I knew it would have been very well kept after.

RS-spec Audis are still a rare breed in the USA; I'd like to think that won't change, but I have a feeling that the special care and significance of the RS badge is going to be diluted - the TTRS and RS3 being built on regular production lines, plus the fact that Audi is doing more than one RS at the same time...one would hope that the RS badge won't go the way of the M badge or AMG badge, but I suspect it will.
