Discussion
Not usually one for posting but this car has me a bit smitten.
Some background, I usually buy my car's privately at the lower end of the market and hope I get a good one however after a few bad experiences - mercedes CLK55 I'm looking at you- and having a 3rd car which always seems to cost more money than I want to spend - Porsche Boxster I'm looking at you - I wanted a 'do it all' car
I also own an EV - a VW I.D5 if anyone cares, which the wife will now take on, this left me the option to part exchange her Skoda which just out of its PCP and get something about more exciting.
I wasn't specifically after an Audi S6 however I was just looking on all the car advertising sites (PH included) and seeing what was available I was looking at BMW 4 series, m4's, BMW 7 series,S classes and then I noticed the Audi A6 and S6 range.
I was set on buying a manufacturer approved car and upped my budget slightly (who doesn't), then saw this S6 pop up.
I was sold on the photos - the colour combo and spec was, in my eyes, perfect.
It has;
HUD
Advanced parking pack
Comfort pack
Matrix headlights
Sunroof
Advanced technology pack
Rear electric blind
It's a 1 owner car and is honestly immaculate
Anyway few photos;




Managed 30mpg on the way home aswell.

Yeah it's a real nice motor.
It does have some options which are very unusual for the age, such as adaptive cruise, wireless charging, 360 cameras and self parking.
I think it was Audi approved car due to condition and that it's a 1 owner car.
Took out the 2 year warranty to cover myself against any issues, namely air suspension and turbos which seem to be the weak points.
It really is a lovely place to waft away the miles in.
Will keep the thread updated as I rack up the miles
Oh and the acceleration, when needed is as brutal as you'd imagine from a 4.0 TT car

Absolutely lovely motor. I was strongly considering one of these before I ended up going for the 6.2 E63 instead. I sacrificed the more modern technology which would have been nice in favour of that engine.
I remember hearing that pre 2016 they had issues with a turbo oil screen that can become blocked and I think there was a recall.
I'd definitely consider an S6 next time

Yeah the raised lump is the head up display, it's probably a clearer resolution than the one on the I.D5,not bad for 9 year old tech.
No major updates except I'm still trying to login to the Audi Connect on the MMI and waiting for some tech wizard from Audi to help.
Don't see many on the road and how many left reckon there's less than 300 registered
