Hello there RS6.com,
I've been lurking for a few weeks, and am now an official member of the forum and a very new owner of an RS6. I picked up an 03, volcano black / gray (think that's the proper name), with 45K miles on the clock. So far, I'm IN LOVE, which pretty much started when I went and first saw the car. Needless to say, I waved goodbye to my trusty '05 EVO MR and drove home in this a short time after I saw the car. What a step up! The car seems to fit the bill perfectly in terms of being bigger than the EVO, at least as fast, AWD, turbo, fantastic interior, and no picnic bench wing. It's my daily driver and will be the main means of transpo for driving straight into monster winter storms.
I'm a long-time german car fan, thanks to my dad's love of 911's. I used to do quite a bit of track driving with him, but have been trading track days for days in the mountains instead the last few years.
Thanks for the help with a number of questions I've had. The search function works great, and I've already figured out a lot.
That being said, does anyone who lives in the Denver area have an RS6 mechanic they like and trust? Sounds like Prestige is the preferred dealer in the area, but I'd like to find an independent guy. Also, will Prestige be able to key me into what maintenance/repairs have been done to the car? Also, does the dealerships sell the factory maintenance booklet? My car didn't come with one.
Thanks in advance for your help!
