FS: Sorted '03 RS6 $21k

[Other_Erik]

Black on Black, 136k miles, lots of extras.
The best part of this RS6 is the documentation - from Day one with the original owner, through June 2013 with the second owner, full report of every service done at Audi dealerships. From the day I bought it, it saw the inside of a dealership exactly once - to have new keys cut, programmed, and married to the Immobilizer. Receipts for all work below are included in the sale (and it's a thick folder).
Some spare parts from the previous owner, as well as a few that I've collected over the years, are included in the sale.
VIN ending 905530 - this used to be Tech_Gurru's beast.

Tech_Gurru was a service writer for Audi in the Portland, OR area - he had the following done thanks to his writing skills:
At 97k miles, the following were replaced under the extended CPO warranty:
Engine
Transmission
Torque Converter
Both turbochargers - Driver-side Turbo still on, Passenger-side replaced again since due to pothole damage.

He also installed KWV3 suspension, which is phenomenal!
He also had the original rims refinished in stock form.

Since he sold to me June 2013, the following has been done:

K-40 Radar Detector / Laser Jammer (not used in Virginia!) front/rear with license plate sensor / jams.
Carbon Fiber Interior from OCarbon
RNS-E with Bluetooth Module from NeoZawa, updated 2015 map pack, includes a 32GB SDXC high-speed card
Tires: PSS's on stock rims with ~5-6k miles on them
Wheels/Tires: Winter set- Stock wheels, painted lava grey, with Blizzak's mounted for ~3500 miles on them
Brakes: Front RS5 rotors (installed) plus resurfaced OE RS6 rotors (less than 10k miles), Hawk HPC pads ~3k miles ago
Brakes: Rear 2-piece ECS rotors (installed) plus resurfaced OE RS6 rotors (less than 10k miles), Hawk HPC pads ~3k miles ago
Suspension: Added Hotchkis sways F&R, tuned suspension settings for good road feedback but not scraping speed bumps
Body: Added Audi OE under-engine splash guard / air deflector
Body/Lighting: New Headlights in June '14 - still perfect and clear and bright.
Body: New front bumper in June/July '14
Engine: 6k miles or less on:
- Timing Belt/Water Pump/Pulleys/Tensioners/etc - full kit, gates belt
- Passenger side Turbo replaced
- Valve Cover Gaskets
- Cam Tensioners, plugs, seals
- Freshly rebuilt Alternator from Kaestner Auto
Engine: Less than 150 miles on:
- UIM Gaskets
- Aux Water Pump
- ALL vac lines under the UIM replaced with Silicone
- Injector O-rings
- EGT Sensors replaced
- PS Pump flushed/filled with BND Fluid kit
- Coolant flushed/filled with BND Hi-performance coolant
- SAI system removed, 034M block-off plates installed

EXTRAS:
Tire/wheel rack - wall-mounting, adjustable, still brand new in box
Tire storage bags - for the set not currently on the car, Audi branded, with felt pads.
About a half of a quart bottle of ACES-IV gas treatment
Other stuff I'm sure, just don't remember it all off the top of my head.

The beast is ready for viewing, but I will be pulling my insurance on it as of the day I take delivery of my Jeep, so no joy-rides. I'm sure I'm missing some / a lot of what's been done with this beast. Happy to talk about it with anyone interested. I know the thread is useless without pictures, but she needs a good wash and wax before she's ready for her close-up.

PS I know the KBB "value" - I also know that's for a beast that hasn't seen a wrench in the past 2 years. This is a well-sorted example that should be maintenance-free for the foreseeable future. Considered I've laid out well north of $10k in maintenance costs the past 3 years, that says something about how to value this car.

Thanks

I have a solid offer on the table for the RNS-E and all it's assorted accessories, so vehicle buyer has option of the original stock radio back in place, knock a grand off the price - $20k out the door.

For those wondering, I'm still awaiting delivery of my Jeep, and not going to bother getting the road dust off and polishing and taking beauty shots just to dirty her up again - she's going to get the full treatment and from there remain parked until sold, which can't happen until the new vehicle hits my driveway.

Thanks

First 10 pictures here, many more to go. Any particular angle anyone wants?

[Other_Erik]

Almost forgot to mention - 3 working key fobs plus a working valet key included. That alone was ~$1900 at the stealership.

10 days later -Bump-

I've also had interest expressed in the Vag-Com, so if you don't want that, knock $250 off the price.

[Other_Erik]

Once a week -bump- to the top, couple interested parties have made contact, hope that my brutally honest assessment of condition doesn't scare them off.

Oh, my brother is borrowing the beast for a few days while the bumper for his S5 is fixed, so any other picture requests will be handled Thursday 5/12 in the evening or later. Mileage is likely to go up another 120 or so, still well short of 137k.

Totaled up receipts, between parts and labor I've put close to $30k into this car in less than 3 years / 12k miles. Ouch.

O_E

[Other_Erik]

Weekly bump to the top. If anyone is waiting to contact me, don't wait. I've had a couple nibbles including someone selling their '00 S4 to put together the cash. My price is and will stay firm at $21k all in, which is about 60% of my outlay on parts and labor since buying the beast in June of '13. We all know that documentation trumps mileage, and every service record is included from original delivery (150 miles on the clock in August of 2004) to today.

Selling the RS6 means I can get on with putting (more) modifications on the new Jeep, and I'm not really in a rush for that at the moment.

O_E

[Other_Erik]

Weekly bump, still up for grabs. Promised the wife I wouldn't put any more mods on the Jeeps until this is sold, getting a little impatient for my lift kit...

Have you tried posting this on other forums or Auotrader?

Have you tried posting this on other forums or Auotrader?

I've got it on NovaJeepers forum, where one member is trying to dump his 2000 S4 to put together the cash, also other forums, will see if I can put it up on vwvortex - not sure my account is in the right standing there to be able to post on FS boards (minimum post count or somesuch).

Not going Autotrader again, got WAY more spam from that last time around than I did from putting it on Craigslist.

Has been really weird, usually when I put a vehicle for sale on CL, I get a ton of scam/lowball/idiot emails. I've gotten 3 serious inquiries, 2 people asking if they can buy just the Vag-Com (nope), 1 lowballer (lol 2100 or 21000?), and no spam. Don't know what CL has done to cut this down, but I'm pleased as punch.

The beast will sit until the right buyer shows up, just itching to put lift and bigger tires on the Jeep, which I promised I wouldn't do until the RS6 is gone.

You get what you pay for on CL. Plus a lot of local joy riders. Try Ebay for national coverage.

Pulled the insurance, so no joy rides available. Car is sitting in the driveway and will continue to get a weekly spin around the block until it sells. I'd be all about ebay if it weren't for the X Percent loss on a sale from their fee structure. I've got the RS6 priced about as low as I can stand, would have to sell for something like $23k on eBay to make it worthwhile to me. Pretty sure the chances of that are slim-to-none.

What fee structure? Nothing to list, $125 if it sells.

[Other_Erik]

Last time I looked it was 7% - will definitely be taking another look now.

The was the fee maybe 10 years ago and for general merchandise.

Thanks for the tip, it is live on eBay.

Also, I am grudgingly lowering the price to $20,000 flat. A couple of opportunities have come up locally that I want to take advantage of, and having cash in my hand would be very welcome at the moment.

Don't see it.

Well that's odd, when I search with the Find your Car or Truck under Audi and RS6, it doesn't show.

[Other_Erik]

Well that's odd, when I search with the Find your Car or Truck under Audi and RS6, it doesn't show.

Same here, even when I'm looking at the page, and I hit the category button at the top, where it's categorized:
Ebay Motors > Cars and Trucks > Audi > RS6
It doesn't show up in the listing. Ugh, damnit Ebay!

Per Seller info center:


Item: Audi: RS6
Item number: 262462613582

You listed your item for sale on 31 May 2016 12:45 PM.

It usually takes several hours—and sometimes up to 24 hours—for the system to index new listings, so your item may not show up in search results right away. Some items take longer for security reasons, and if you revise the listing, that will add time as well. If the listing still isn't showing up in 24 hours, contact us again and we'll be happy to look into it further for you.

And I did revise the listing to include a blurb about AutoCheck / CarFax erroneously reporting odometer rollback from an Oregon DMV typo in 2012

[Other_Erik]

CarFax was very quick getting back to me, the error from Oregon DMV is fixed in their report. Still haven't heard from AutoCheck :\

[Other_Erik]

Well, I've got a guy offering $14k if I strip it down to just what's needed to roll it onto a freight truck to ship to him for R/S6-Avant transplant thanks to the newer motor,trans,tc. Not sure how much the parts I'd be able to strip are worth, and it's a lot of work to sell them... Hopefully someone will chime in on this and I can get the beast gone.

Oh, AutoCheck is now fixed. Thanks to mileage on chassis, they rate it at 52 (not bad considering "typical" for a 13-year old luxury car is between 30-56 out of 100) All those maintenance records do count for something, it'd seem.

O_E

[Other_Erik]

So I've lowered the asking price to what I actually expected to get, but I'm hard set on $18k or $17k and I sell the RNS-E here. Also did a bunch of re-formatting, so it was easier to put it together and change some things around for clarity.

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/5617367360.html

O_E

[Other_Erik]

Hopefully final update. I'm now selling the RS6 minus the RNS-E for $16,500. Buyer has the option to forego the following for further reduction in price:
Winter wheels/tires: $500
VAGCOM: $250
K40: $500
Extra brakes/pads: $250

Thanks

Wow. No sale yet? Not good for our beasts

Tell me about it. I even reformatted the CL ad a bit to make it more readable, and have it advertised with the lowest price point - where I keep the Extras for resale. I've had 2 serious buyers looking at it, one put in an offer but it just wasn't quite enough to get it gone. I'm sure it'll sell, just has to get the right person's attention.
