I just headed down to Milwaukie, OR tonight to take a look at a Daytona Gray RS6 with my buddy tonight. He found it posted online and is considering buying it. You can see it in this ad: http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/ctd/5186991758.html. Last four of the VIN are 905344. Just wondering if anyone has any information on it. It's listed once in the VIN thread, posted up for auction in CA in 2013. That's all the information I could find on it.
Anyway, from what I could tell tonight it seems to be a pretty good value for the price. Exterior is fairly clean, interior is decent. Scuffs on all the normal buttons, missing trunk pop button (the one beside the driver seat), some aftermarket accessories here and there related to the aftermarket stereo system. The foglights (both front and rear) don't work, or at least don't turn on with the light switch. Wheels are a bit beat up, no major dings but the finish is peeling pretty badly. The little "cleco" clips for the front engine cover are missing, which seems to be a common theme, but all of the front exterior trim pieces are still firmly attached. Brakes are pretty worn. We weren't able to take it for a test drive so I can't attest to the trans or DRC (it is still on DRC). Engine sounded good. I did a scan and got three engine codes:
18393 - Coolant Control Module 2 (J671)
P1985 - 002 - Malfunction - Intermittent
17863 - Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor 1 (G235)
P1455 - 008 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent
16825 - EVAP Emission Control Sys
P0441 - 002 - Incorrect Flow - Intermittent
I know the EGT one is common and not that big a deal, the EVAP one doesn't concern me too much either since it won't have to pass emissions, but I'm not sure about the coolant control module one. Anyone have any experience there?
Trans has no codes, but as has been proven that doesn't necessarily mean it's good. There were a few codes pertaining to the missing stock radio, but that was it.
It has white and wood interior, Audi all-weather floor mats, and non-SE exhaust. Not sure if it's tuned, the dealer didn't know and I wasn't sure of any way to verify with VCDS short of driving WOT and checking peak boost.
Anyway, what did I miss that should be checked? What do folks think of the price?
Also, one very cool side story: after looking at the car, my buddy and I headed down the street to Dutch Bros Coffee to grab some drinks for the drive back home (as anyone in the area can attest, they have the best coffee around). While we were waiting for our drinks, I was talking with the barista and mentioned we had just looked at an RS6. Turns out her dad just bought a red RS6 recently! Gregg, would that be you? Or is there another red RS6 in the area? Considering how few RS6's there are, it's definitely a small world.
Here's a pic of mine and the gray one nose to nose. You'll have to pardon mine, it needs a wash..
