I tried not to respond to this thread, but I've seen too many threads like this recently...basically it's the following story:
person buys a dream car (fill in the blank, but usually costing less than $5K), then a few months into ownership realizes it has some issues and complains about XYZ, then throws out a statement that they don't care for the car and will get another Audi (usually 20X more expensive than the original car - RS7, R8, etc...).
Sorry but i'm doubting that you plunked down whatever you did on a 15+ year old C5, when you could actually purchase an RS7...the 2 cars are worlds apart!
BTW, here's the other thread, that the OP here reminded me of: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2860432
Lastly, with the issues you've described, I doubt the trade in for the RS7 will get you car cover for the new ride.

And I am starting with N75. Most threads I've read lead to that part. It's only $80. And I replaced my spark plugs that helped a lot it would appear it has had the same plugs for all 100k miles.

if you think that shop prices are ridiculous on a 15 year old C5, wait till you get the service bill on an RS7. good luck, but let's be realistic that you are moving from your 'dream car' (C5) directly to an RS7...at least you didn't throw out that you make $300K and all the other BS the other poster did...

I wish I made 100k/year and I just want to make my car last . Don't get me wrong I love this car I just get stressed about **** easy. And popping 6 codes that could kill the car stresses me out lol but I went to work and let out my aggitations and decided to change my spark plugs and drive it along the high way and it runs smooth. But that pressure code worries me the rest are mostly fixed already. I'm going to yank out and examine my EGT this weekend might just need to be cleaned idk. Bit I'll find out.

So what happened with your weekend test drive? BTW, comparing an RS7 to a C5 2.7 is akin to comparing Wayne Gretzky to Ryan Garbutt...it really isn't something you can compare
