If I could get anywhere near enough to turn around and pick yours up, I'd be doing it in a heartbeat. All the mods I want without the 6sp swap already done? Dayum.
Would you consider dropping the price a bit if I were to want it without the 01E parts and the wheels/tires you've got on it? I'm already trying to unload a set of 19's, and got my spare set of RS6 stocker wheels painted Lavagrau...
I'd even be willing to go even trade on my #905530 - 127k miles, black on black, soon to be full CF interior, K40 system, KWV3's, 3 keyfobs, maintenance up to date (finally!) - even with the ridiculous low price I paid for it I'm about $26k into it, and it was a compromise on price/mileage/color that I should've just waited for :|

Well, damn. I probably should buy this car. 30mins from Chicago O'Hare airport, too? Hmmmm
Hypothetically speaking, if I were to buy the car, would anyone be interested in trading their stock headlights and/or grilles for these? (if they're legit Euro grilles let's say trade plus cash?) Also, sorry for n00bie question but how hard is it to remove the interior inlays? I'm one of those weirdos who prefers wood to carbon.

Just a thought, could be a rough/noisy ride with the KW's and 19's. I know it's up to each opinion, but the Koni's on soft are already firm enough to cause some extra noise rolling on 18's. And how did the - button the fan get so worn down, crazy. Bet there is a way to get new ones? Oddly enough, all center console buttons on my car are perfect at 98k.
There is about $10-15k into this with parts/wheels/labor, great deal for sure though...
The chrome below the headlights and rings look to be dipped...or did I miss that...euro huh?

in all honestly, the ride is actually smoother than the DRC system. noisy? not at all. not sure if you've ridden in a KW / 19s car, but my car is rock solid. i'm as anal as it gets when it comes to rattles and squeaks. the fan button. it was like that when i bought the car. i'm betting on the fact that the previous owner's wife was the cause of that and all of the rubber coating issue.
the brushed aluminum under the headlights and rear trunk trim were wrapped with shadowline matte black. the grilles are genuine audi shipped from UK.

I've been in a KW car with 19's and it was harsh in all honesty, but it was not on full soft, and tires vary, and it caused some extra rattles. My DRC never performed right, and was either squishy or harsh on little bumps. The Koni's are firm on soft setting, but think people say they are softer than proper DRC, so that would explain it. For me I couldn't see rolling 19's or turning up the Koni's past stock as it's just a jarring ride 90% of the time...
Not trying to knock the car at all, if I had an extra $20k it would be in your hands as the setup looks sweet, just wanted to mention the ride thoughts, thanks for the details.

This is looking more and more appealing. Mileage is higher than I'd want, but I could save a couple grand on the initial purchase price and at least $12k on parts that I plan to buy anyway. My friend knows a car guy out in Chicago; I'll have to see if I can arrange a PPI and eventually a flight out there. DRC is no longer an issue so that's good, and it would leave me more money to get 6spd swap parts with, thus eliminating the other big scare item. I could've used an automatic transmission this morning on my way to work though. One snowflake and people freak the heck out and cause major traffic jams!

I'm sorry, I work a million hours and many of them involve downtime where I have nothing better to do than sit and overthink things. It's not like I can tell my secretary to hold my calls, book me a flight to chicago and take the next day off on a whim.
You could if you worked on the Obamacare hotline.
"Please wait while our site is down for service" "Try again after I fly to Chicago and buy this RS6"
Dont spend that extra cash because we will be taking that off your hands for this great policy that covers everything. $800/mo and 40% copays.
And we thought it was expensive to maintain a RS6. Ha
Oh wait, Obamacare is the best thing/tax to happen to US healthcare in 50 years. Poor suckers should have seen that one coming. I have zero ded/zero copays at all our hospitals and I still dont need a damn cent of service. Idjuits.
"Affordable healthcare for all!" Why thank you Mr Obama...you're making me a fortune.
^^ Off topic but I can agree with you on that! Come April I'll be paying at least $400/mo more for health insurance... that I never use.
The thought has crossed my mind that maybe now is not the best time to buy another car.
If your budget doesn't well support the $400/mth, then you probably shouldn't be looking to be buying an RS6 in the first instance. Just because the car now sells for a $20-25K price tag doesn't mean it's a Honda or Toyota that perhaps costs you an extra $500/yr. This car WILL cost you a lot more - and I don't mean just in gas....
Your administration has the right idea and then some. They appear to however have a lackluster approach to implementing it. Yes I can speak to this coming from a country where public healthcare has existed for years. All those countries that have a system like this in place are guaranteed shaking their heads at both the planners striving to get things in place, and the benefactors who currently can't see the forest for the trees. It's painful to read about and watch. Just wish your country as a whole would do things more wisely than they do when something important to the general mass is affected.
