Hello Gentlemen,
Very nice site you have here! I've been searching, reading and learning quite a lot in the past few days. I have the chance to purchase an 03 RS6 with 117k on the clock. Car looks perfect inside and out and runs/sounds great. Only problem is there are no maintenance records with the vehicle and no history at all. All I know is that was it was traded in to a dealer for a newer RS4 and for privacy reason they will not give the contact information for the previous customer which is understandable I guess.
How can I find out the history of this car? Can I call a local Audi dealer or Audi Corporate and provide the VIN number to find out if any recalls have been performed or find out the maintenance history of the vehicle if any on record? How can I find out if the car has a tune on it?
With the mileage on this car being a little high I'm nervous of the TC/Transmission issues I've been reading about on here and it would be nice to know if the they have been addressed/replaced. It runs, drives and shifts fine right now.
I know the car has been modified slightly. It has an MTM exhaust, Hotchkis sway bars and RS4 wheels. That is all I know right now, I will be digging in to it a little more.
I'm currently trying to track down any and all owners and information on this vehicle and any information or tips provided to help me with this would be greatly appreciated!! I'm super excited about this car and the potential to be an RS6 owner. If all works out, I look forward to joining your family.
Thank you in advance,
~Vinny
