C6 RS6 - Saloon?

[sixspeed]

How many saloon variants of the RS6 were made/purchased in the UK, does anyone know?

So many in the classifieds/'trader are Avants. I'm tempted by one, but think the Saloon looks so much better, and don't need a great chunk of boot hanging over the arse end...

I can see the appeal of a fast estate, and there is something cool about it, but for me, right now, i'd rather opt for a saloon. The fact they released later would explain why the few that I can find are later and asking more money, but even so they seem thin on the ground.

Trying to find one in the spec/colour I'd like is going to prove difficult I suspect...

Bit of a minor thread resurrection, but only because I've managed to find one that I liked and fitted the budget! Pick up a '09 Sepang Blue Saloon this afternoon, and waving goodbye to the B8 S4 that's done me very proud over the last year or so.

Very excited to get my hands on it. Also slightly scared of the potential running costs, but we'll soon see how that pans out! Luckily I have a work contract in London so won't be needing it for the commute for the next 6 months at least.

Car has only a few options, but there is so much as standard on these cars that I wasn't too concerned. And the price was very good IMO.

Will get some pics up in a thread later

The conversations have already been had. Hope to have it in the 720-740 bracket before Le Mans...

That video is insane though. I have seen it before, but didn't know the full spec of the S4. If that was running 480 though, that's mightily impressive!

Bumping the thread, because 18 or so months on, and i'm saying goodbye. Loved every minute. Don't want to sell at all tbh, but a house purchase in March means it makes sense to put it on the market now and release the funds. I already kept it longer than I intended!

Someone will get a great car IMO, and I know I will probably wish I never let it go at some point. Not many of these saloons around in this colour, and with such a solid history (full Audi + Warranty).

8000 in total!!

Think you've got that wrong fella for C6 shape?

It's nonsense. There are only ~400 Audi C6 RS6s in the UK in total. Easiest way to do an approximate check on this is with howmanyleft.com

his tallies with numbers I've seen quoted elsewhere for UK sales numbers of the C6 RS. I swear I was told/read that around only 50 were saloons. But I cannot find any source of that information now (doh!).
