My first RS6 became an engine donor after my son totaled it into fence, and in April 2015 I picked up my current RS6 which had lived its entire life in the SF Bay Area. 124,500 miles on it when I bought it. I believe I am the 4th owner, and since I have had it, all work on it has been done at 034 Motorsport (now ZF Automotive). You can of course contact Jamil there if you want his/their thoughts on the car. We have too many vehicles now and I just don't drive it as much any longer. The new owner should not have to worry about any expensive costs in the near future given all that I have had done in recent years. Looking for $11,000 as I've already saved the new owner costs for a long time. Located in Palo Alto.
The Good: Black on black, warm weather package with rear sunscreen, 034 ECU and TCU tune, Level 10 transmission, Eclipse aftermarket CD player/nav/Sirius XM, Valentine 1, and as noted below pretty complete overhaul in 2017 and again just this August (see below) . Clear bra, no chips in paint, no accidents, no CEL.
The Nuisances: Glovebox attachment on the left is broken and the glovebox drops on that side over firm bumps. I use a firm roller to hold it in place, seen in the pictures. Small scratch on left front bumper, actually hard to see in the photo below. And of course the top of the center console is broken but stays in place. That's about it!
