Default New RS 6 owner from Vancouver

Hi All:

I just posted in the S/RS forum. I'm the proud owner of a 2003 RS6 that was recently imported from the US by a third party dealer. Up until yesterday I leased a 2009 A4. The RS6 has only 11K on it and is nearly factory mint as it was mainly a showroom piece in a collector's garage. I was considering a 2008 lease return S6, but couldn't walk away from the RS6 after the test drive.

I will pick it up in 2-3 days after I get an independent inspection by my local Audi dealer and will post some pics.

Cheers

Hey! I know which RS6 you're talking about. I saw it on Craigslist and I thought it was unreal for it have such low mileage. Congratulations on such a fantastic car. I would absolutely love to own an RS6 one day.

Hope you can come out to the local Audi meetings sometime. I'm based in Coquitlam and I'm driving a bone stock slow-*** 200HP A6.

Thanks everyone! I'll try and make it out to the local meets when I pick it up. I'm hoping to keep this baby for awhile.

As expected it passed inspection with flying colours at my local Audi dealer. Apparently it caused quite the stir in the service bay; the go to RS6 guy there said he has never seen one in this condition. I pick it up tomorrow!

Here it is. Pics don't do it justice.

Its actually not black but a very very dark graphite pearl bordering on black, but definitely different and lighter than a Phantom black pearl A8 next to it in the showroom. However, don't think its Daytona grey either. Anyone?

F**k me! That is absolutely frikking awesome! I saw that on Craigslist a while back and I thought it was a misleading post since the mileage was so low. I have been looking at RS6s for a long time, but I still can't afford one at the moment. Enjoy your car, 'cause I would if I could. I couldn't wait to pull up to any unsuspecting M5 or E55 AMG and show 'em who's boss.

BTW: Some really cool sites to check up on in regards to the RS6 are the following:

RS246.com :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Website
RS6.com | International Community - RS6.com Main page
