So like many ive always fancied a c5 rs6 avant but convinced myself they were too much trouble.... so that was until 2 days ago when I had a pleasant but unfortunate car parked next to me in the station car park (if the guy from Chalfont and latimer station is reading this its your fault!)

guess what? a seal grey avant which looked and sounded amazing! I really don't want one and couldn't bear the sight of big bills especially next to my e46 alpine but why shouldn't I think about it??

best still they seem to be falling in price? last time I looked a decent looking low miler on an 04 plate would be about 15...today the same car seems to be about 12???

I might need to get myself back over to the rs246 forum again!

Not really - usually only apparent if they've had poor body repairs in the past. Our 10 yr old A6 that we sold after 6 yrs of ownership had a couple of chips in the roof and bonnet area that were beginning to show signs of corrosion, but not enough to worry about. Some lacquer peel on one door that I know had been painted before we bought the car, but generally decent finish
