Not as yet he hasn't no Sergey
I know the first guy to see it made him an offer but it was less than he wanted
so its still there and available to buy Amar!!

As much as I love James's car, I'm not looking for another D2, may aswel be a D3 or wait a year or so for the C6 RS 6 prices to fall to £25k, 700+ BHP, luvlay jubly.

I'm sure we could find somewhere Darren, it will be interesting to see. I have to warn you though my plus hits 60 in 4.4 seconds dead and as it is a plus is delimited from factory to 175 mph (not that I would in this country) sounds like thunder, it really is evil, if I keep it for inters, it will be pushing 540ish BHP, no cats and a remap, 0-60 will be 3.8/9 and 1/4 mile in the early 12s. I know two C5 RS6 owners that hit 200+ mph with that spec, one of them hit a GPS verified 204 MPH.

I know Amar that your RS6+ will be faster but by just how much ?? is it that much faster than a D3 and is it worth the sacrifice of all that luxury, comfort and toys ??
I love your car Amar, it looks fantastic and i bet it goes like s**t of a shovel but at the end of the day i would like to give it back and drive home in my 8

Power steering, AC, electric drivers window is all the luxury I need. Would not mind heated windscreen- the rest is just toys.

Yeah it looks, sounds and goes really well. The interior is terrible, I'm not fussed about the gearbox or engine blowing up as it will be warrantied if I keep it with a company that have history of paying out claims straight away no fuss whatsoever on the RS6. Right now I could get really good money for the plus, I could sell the plus, buy a D3 S8 and have a couple of grand left over. Will it still be the same story a few months down the line? Or will C5s suddenly drop and then I'll be paying to upgrade to a D3, who knows. My RS6 will easily be the most expensive for sale in the country if I were to list it. There is only one other plus for sale right now in silver with 102k for £17k, not sure if the sprint one on DRC with 80k for £22,500 sold or not. I'm fast approaching 38k now, putting in £110 of fuel a week compared to £69 a month with the Beemer.

I'm pretty sure the S8 values will continue to plummet just as fast as every other big engined expensive car
