The RS6 is great, but you need a warranty with that though. Audi bills are scary and there is no concept of goodwill at Audi if it goes pop.

Must admit, I'm VERY taken with this, which is only 15 miles away from me. Quite like the "debadged" look...Angelus666 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 7:01 pmGot to be the RS6 avant all the way....they're uber when fully blacked out.
And I think it's a bit of a bargain @ £19,990 with 90k miles and a full history..
mmm.. 572bhp and AWD

Doubt I'll get a warranty at 90k miles on a 9yr old car, well not one worth the paper it's written on. TBH, the bills don't scare me, parts prices are much of a muchness these days, it's the associated labour that can be crippling, but then I'm reasonable handy with the spanners

Is that rear wiper resting on the boot off the glass?
90k miles would have me wearing nappies whilst driving it though.

I’ve heard some horrific stories about Audi V10’s and their ability to empty wallets

Lol - I went for a test of the white one last weekend... FCUCK ME!! They go like a scalded cat...earthdweller wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 6:13 pmI’ve heard some horrific stories about Audi V10’s and their ability to empty wallets
Few holes in it's service history though, and the dealer wasn't prepared to haggle one penny...
Still at least I know one is within my budget, so I think the decision has been made..
The V10 makes a fantastic noise too, especially in dynamic mode with the exhaust valve actuated...

Fortune favours the brave !!
In fairness my next door neighbour has a V10 R8 and it does sound immense .. rattles the windows ( and my fillings) when he starts it up
I’m sure he said the next service it needs is an engine out job and about 4K
