[urq] 2003 RS6

[javadog at att.net]

Robin,

I've owned one from new and had zero issues with it, although it hasn't seen a lot of miles.  Audi recently sent out notices to the owners that they will be replacing the suspension struts this summer, free of charge, so they must have had some issue with those, although mine are fine.

The engine is pretty complicated and fills the front of the car, so I wouldn't buy one of these expecting to do all of your own work.  I would stay away from any car that has been modified and those that have lived their lives in the northern (salty) climates.

Mine will be for sale soon, as I am thinning the herdf, so to speak.  It won't be cheap, though...

Good luck, 
Jeff
