2003 Audi RS6 Smart buy or stupid?

[Michaelbailey]

Hi all its time for me to buy a new car. I currently have a VW Corrado VR6 Storm which i think may well be the best car i will ever have owned but i made a pact to myself to keep refreshing and the worthy adversary is the RS6. Having just turned 21 insurance is now viable and i feel i might be getting too excited. I can afford the car, i can afford the insurance, i can afford to spend a bit on the car but not a HUGE amount. (Corrado got a 2k respray and 1k on a new gearbox and clutch amongst a few little things in the 2 years i have owned it). Question is, is spending 10k on an early RS6 going to be the best or worst decision i make? or somewhere inbetween...

Also i regularly get less than 20mpg so fuel costs isn't a major problem so long as i can get more than 15mpg on average.

Many thanks!

Michael

My budget can stretch to a good one. If i found the "right one" for say 15k i would go for that. numbers were just for illustration.

Thank you for the heads up on the problems. I think with careful buying on any car you can beat the nay sayers.
