Buying Advice - Your experience (S6 5.2 V10)

Hi team, 

This is my first post so bare with me.

I'm looking at buying a C6 S6, with two currently available in my area - a '07 and '10 with similar mileage.

Are there any common issues that these models face? Or things to be aware of pre-purchase?

Have you owned one and what has your experience been?

 

Cheers,

Cameron

Welcome to the forum mate.

i haven't owned one myself but I can advise on making sure the head gaskets are not "gone". Test drive the cars, get them up to temp (90'C) and give them the beans. For a few minutes if you can .... safely of course 😋..... and watch the temp gauge. If it goes up above 90 then it could indicate headgasket issues, not too cheap to fix, walk away.

Other than that the usuall checks need to be done, make sure everything is working electrically, turn the lights on and wait to see if a warning indication comes up. Look at the tyres for uneven wear, they have complicated suspension set ups and uneven tyre wear shows issues up.

finally, get an app like total car check, put in the reg no. And you will get a report on MOT failures and advisories!!  Good luck.
