Welcome to S6 ownership. I've had my 2008 for 3 years, they are great cars. Have 87K on it with no significant problems. I'm going to push into the 150K territory with this engine, not sure of any long term issues other than the carbon build up. Got some winter wheels and Blizzacks and it eats snow, the only limiting factor is ground clearance. Buy a radar detector!

My advice would be to try your best to follow these guidelines:
1. Only buy from an Audi Dealer (they usually get the cherries) 2. Only buy one with one owner (maybe 2) 3. Although Carfax isn't the end all be all, make sure it has service records on the report. The more the better. 4. If the right one makes itself available, don't hesitate bc someone else will snatch it from you. (happened to me twice). 5. If there was 2 owners listed on carfax and the 2nd owner only had it for a year, don't buy it bc chances are they got rid of it bc they kept having problems. Its sad to see some carfaxs show the poor car going through TWO auction houses in different parts of the county, and three owners. Like a troubled child...... Enjoy the car -- and stay out of trouble. :rolleyes: |

However at the same time, I don't really want to drive it in the winter all that much, so may just pick up something to beat on in the snow to preserve this work of art. Anyways, here's some pics for those who want to see :) http://jdimages.s3.amazonaws.com/s6-front.jpg http://jdimages.s3.amazonaws.com/rear-driver.jpg http://jdimages.s3.amazonaws.com/rear-pass.jpg http://jdimages.s3.amazonaws.com/passenger.jpg http://jdimages.s3.amazonaws.com/rear.jpg http://jdimages.s3.amazonaws.com/front-no-lights.jpg http://jdimages.s3.amazonaws.com/front-drivers.jpg |
