If you went for this one, you'd be the 10th owner…not something I'd do, personally, unless it was a truly exceptional example, which it's not. The wheels also don't do it for me, but that's a matter of personal taste...

I must admit it would not be one I would touch.

It looks okay but I don't see any advantage in buying a PF car unless it has the 4 speed box and is pretty amazing condition wise. I ne'er stand the box has been refurbed at 60k miles but why did it go that soon? 5 speed boxes normally last until 100k plus

My 5-speed was refurbished at approx 75k miles, and failed again at 115k

If you're looking for decent car at a decent price, id probably sell you mine.

Few minor issues needing taken care of (ie the wheels need refurb'd)

Other than that its had all belts done, gearbox serviced not too long ago and most other major issues taken care of.

Damn thing never gets used - I also fancy an RS6 ...

Anymore details? Colour, spec, mileage etc..

What RS6 are you looking at as well?

Drop me a PM if you like.
