Rick Marson Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Hi I am new to the forum. I am looking for a RS6 C5 Avant but would like some guidance / pointers before I buy always wanted one but don't want to get a dud. Seen a couple that am interested in would you say I should get assessed by an RS specialist garage before purchase? Any advise is welcome at this stage. Love the metallic blue / cream interior combination I have seen. Anyone know of a good car out there with no horrors waiting to bite me please let me know thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hello Richard, In answer to your question ....’ should I get it independently assessed...? , I would say without doubt - yes. I would not fall into the trap of believing that full-service-history equals a trouble free car to date, or in the future. Indeed, many cars come to the market, simply because some expensive issue has been found at a service (and not necessarily recorded), and the owner has decided to sell rather than meet that expenditure. A good talk with the last registered owner will often provide more information about a car then a set of stamps in a book. Kind regards, Gareth.

Rick Marson Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Thanks, fully agree that known history is far better than claimed or recorded. For this to be a "weekend car" need to be assured it is not going to spend it on a ramp or meaning constant trips to the bank. RS specialist it is for a pre purchase assessment when I find the one ….
