Advice needed - considering an S6

[Adrian E]

Just to add that with your low annual miles a modern diesel would be an utter disaster reliability-wise. You'll be looking at a clogged DPF at the very least if you do mainly short runs

Not sure this is some strange kind of pistonheads karma but just come across this thread. I've been thinking about getting out of my S6 Avant and getting something a bit more for the weekend, such as a Dax Rush or an Seight, with a banger for commuting. Mine is December 06 and has only done 52.5k, or which I've done the last 17. Smooth, refined, fast, maybe a bit too quiet, though a Miltek would cure that, rare. I've seen 27 mpg on a run, but best not ask around town. It's even got a dog guard, the presence of which I thought might put some folk off. Anyway, if you think you might be looking at an S6 I'd be happy to mail you with a few more thoughts on the realities of ownership.

Please say it's black! You know I was thinking today would I just need a normal a6 dog guard! Could you send me some details please?

Unfortunately the karma ends there. It's not black, metallic grey in fact, white alcantara trim, carbon fibre inlays. No sunroof or bose. Dealer service history, recent new pads all round and had four Continentals relatively recently. If you could PM me I'll send you some pictures if you're still interested, despite the colour!

How do I PM you? I'm clicking the email option but just getting an error message? I would like to see some pics though please.

You might not have a high enough post count to be able to e-mail?

Ah okay. Well I've seen a couple of s6's advertised, just have to wait for my car to sell now!

I've changed the settings of my preferences. Hopefully now you'll be able to contact me. I'm a bit new to this, so apologies if it hasn't made in difference. I'll post some pictures over the weekend regardless.
