Which RS6?  Some of the C6 RS6's are in the very high 30's, but
they're also generally out of warranty...and nothing says ehl-oh-ehl
like an out-of-warranty V10 halo car.

If you mean the C5 RS6...King Arthur said it best (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxKIJTb3Hg )...RUN AWAY.  That's WELL
known. Engine out to do the starter. DRC failures on the way home from
having DRC overhauled and a number of warranty denial horror stories
on DRC because "shocks are wear items."  Battery sits in the middle of
the trunk because, well, they couldn't be bothered.  Then there are
the aesthetics...it's the best looking C5 platform car ever made, but
that's saying very, very little.
