Don't sell it, I've had mine over three years now. Done less than 5k PA, and not driven it in about 5/6 weeks as have been so busy. Got a rare weekend free, so I got the CTEK plugged in as soon as I got home, can't wait to hear that V10 start tomorrow, 763PS, 2.99sec 0-60, 1021NM, and I'm sure it produces 550BHP or something stupid like that at about 3.5k RPM. First quattro I've driven that will light up all wheels in the wet, even at 50/60 MPH
Roll on tomorrow.

Who needs it wet..... Mine will light them up from a standstill dry. And that just shouldn't happen in an auto Quattro....

The wet / cold is more 'interesting'.... I'm no stig, so I rely on the esp and if you have the balls not to back off the throttle just as it's getting interesting, it will deal with it and you'll outrun anything. Even those technically faster than you as they just won't be expecting it...

If I could park it up like you and enjoy it one in a blue moon I would. But it's too good for heavy motorway miles (which is mostly what I do), and too expensive an ornament when I also have other priorities.... So pleased I've had it though. It's an experience nothing else on 4 wheels comes close to.

I need something just a little bit more sensible, but did sit in a new tt last weekend whilst waiting for a salesman, and even despite my bulk, it was a lovely lovely place to be I have to say....

Cool

Right.

Been to see the car. Its a good car. Its an lost none of the charm of the older versions, and gained some nice features, so I'm fundamentally attracted to it.

However, its not been prepared to a very good standard imo. They're clearly cutting corners trying to retail it out on a budget. They've "fitted 4 brand new tyres" = they've fitted 3 of one brand I've never heard of, and one of a another brand I've never heard of, the latter of which looks like it was fitted with a crowbar by a monkey.

But, The rest of it is fine. A few marks consistent with mileage I guess, and it is indeed as loaded with factory options as my homework had suggested, a fact the (bloody annoying) salesman still has no idea about.

So, can I see my having this car. Yes. Am I *desperate* for it. No, not as much as I was, but I know now, having sampled a fully loaded one, nothing else will ever be good enough, so its this example, or none at all really. #bloodyannoying

The p/x was under par for where we needed to be. They have literally taken the model, and mileage and rung a few underwriters on it and come out with a number. Could have done that without driving to see them... No intention to retail it, not interested. Quote from the Sales Manager of 16 years "They do an RS6 Saloon?.." <sigh>

So, RS6 is now going to £27495, both on here, and publically. I can also accept debit / credit cards via a8parts, although subject to a 2% fee on credit cards....

If the other car sells from under me, I'll have to make yet another decision about what to do. Ho hum...

Proof, if any was needed, that you need to sell a kidney and keep the RS6 if you want to raise funds

They sound like a bunch of fools, hope you get the deal you want Ian

I'm struggling to imagine what this car could be to make Ian want it so much over the RS6.
Really look forward to finding out what it is.

Downgrade people, downgrade.... Not sure I'm gonna see much cash back swapping into an SQ5 (!)

Stop trying to think of upgrades from the RS6, think more along the lines of compromises....

Its honestly not *that* exciting and if I don't get an easy sale of the RS6 shortly at this money then it all falls apart anyway and I'm 'stuck' with the RS6 for a bit. What a shame....
