Hi Guys,
After several fun year of owning my RS6 the time has come to part ways.

Daytona Grey (i would say it is a 7/10 as the front end is peppered from a lot of highway driving)
Black interior
All options except warm weather package
117K miles (I bought the car with 54k)
19" wheels
2 new tires - the other 2 have about 10K
Timing belt, water pump, rollers, done at 95K
Alternator done at 80K
Torque Converter done at time of purchase along with all O2 sensors
Oil changed every 5k miles
All control arms have been replaced
New pads and rotors this past year

This has been my daily driver for the past few years and has been troublefree.

Now for the bad part - the car has a reconstructed title. It was a recovered theft car with minimal damage that the previous owner purchased and fixed.

Asking $12k.

Let me know if you have any questions.

lswing,
Damage was done in 2005-6 I believe. I purchased the car in 2009. The previous owner purchased it, fixed it, and drove it for a while.
As you can see the damage was pretty light. The repair was executed well
The car is stock with the exception of the wheels and the tail lights.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Gustaf, very good. Can you get me the last 5 of VIN? I want to estimate the life of the trans. Also pics of buttons, more interior? Looks like it was repaired/painted well. I'll certainly need to look some things over here, but interested for sure. RNS-E or standard deck?

lswing - PM sent with VIN info.
I'm heading to St Louis for the week for work purposes and will see if I have some additional pics of the interior on my laptop. Otherwise, they might need to wait until this weekend - sorry.
The deck is the factory unit. Had considered RNS-E but never pulled the trigger.
Trans is good - no funny shifting. I had the fluid changed at 60K and 90K and as mentioned the TC was done right when I bought the car (54K miles).
Overall repaint was done pretty well but as I said the front end is a bit peppered as one would expect after 117K miles. There is one minor area (about 1" x 2") on the drivers front fender where something must have dripped on the paint and it has lifted. I will try and get a better picture of that as well.
Regarding the rims, they are reps.
All DRC components were replaced under warranty just before my purchasing as well. No leaks or clunking from that either.
Also, both front wheel bearings and axles (from Raxles) were replaced in the past couple of years.

Let me know if there are any other questions.

Shhhhhh.....

Sounds about right with the bar tab!

Been looking at some older Allroads and newer A4's, but I think this might be a touch more fun!

Thank you you very much, ive been trying to find them and the best I ever found was either the smoke ones with a really bad mirror effect, or led ones.

Of course, after I spend twice as much on a car out-of-state... Oh well... Happened when I drove all day to get a BMW 318is in Maine, too. Guy in my town put one up for sale a month later for less money in better condition.


lswing, do you want me to go take a look at it for you? Depending on where in MA it is...

I was wondering why you weren't after this....

I thought about sending $ and having it shipped over, just been busy...and thinking a smaller A/S4 would be fun.

Wrong coast.

Manheim numbers are coming to me. I predict a Daytona/Avus 110k car for 12k on the west coast. Seattle has had a couple this year already. I just need one in Riverside.

But that interior did catch my eye. Damn
