Practical, fast, 11k

Talk me out of an 11k RS6
Originally was looking at 996's but now have a hankering over an Audi estate!
A bit different from the Elise but should provide some fun and perfect for throwing the snowboard in the back and heading to the alps.

Am I mad?

996 and a butler to carry your plank for you when you fly first class to the resort with the money you don't spend fixing the complicated suspension on the RS6.
I only have this info on hearsay, but if you type in Audi RS6 suspension in to Google it autocompletes with the word 'problems' ....

What about the original RS4? Bit more rare? Hold their money better I'd bet.

If an Audi Avant is your thing I'd be choosing one of these or a B7 S4

The levels of bork with an RS6 are frightening, a friend owned one for 3 years and spent an absolute fortune on repairs, including changing the turbos.

Heed those words op ^

I'd want the purchase price again (at least) as a safety net if buying an RS6 at this price.

Spoil sports!
I bow to the wisdom though.
More thinking needed.
Might keep lotus , get a tow bar and a trailer
