Default RS6: good purchase?

Hello all:

I'm writting from Madrid, Spain.

I currently drive a wonderful RS4 b7 Avant, that I'm soon trading in for a wonderful Porsche 964 C2.

As a family car , I'm thinking on buying a RS6 Plus c5 Avant that I've seen, which belongs to a collector.

I wanted to know if the c5 RS6 has been known for having any specific problems. What should I look after when buying the car? The car I've seen has 130.000 km on the clock, would that be too many?

Is the RS6 overall a good purchase?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers.

Itsa great buy and car. Period. If you live well with a Porsche, then this Audi should pose no problems you can't handle.

Yes, www.Rs6.com is an excellent place to find English speaking owners and technical folks...this place; not so much. 8-)

Good luck....what I wouldn't do to upgrade to the RS6+Avant from our tired old allroad !!! Go for it.
