Man of Honour
Hey guys,
So I got rid of my XFR a couple of years back and got a 535D, which was fine but I couldn't live with a diesel...
We're getting a dog soon and also struggle a bit with boot space when we go on UK breaks so I tasked myself with finding a good sized estate. I went car shopping, aiming to get something around 5 or 6 years old with a 2 or 3 litre turbo petrol engine, BUT I came home with an 2007 Audi S6 V10 Avant!
I just couldn't resist the 5.2L V10 engine, coupled with the Milltek exhaust that the previous owner had put on a few years back. It's nowhere near as quick as my XFR was, but I was never expecting that, but gosh does it sound lovely! I got such a good deal with the part exchange of my 535D that I went for it after checking it all out and taking it for a good drive!
It could probably do with an engine carbon clean (which I've read most Audi FSI engines suffer with) but has a full Audi and then specialist service history, clean MoTs, and is really tidy inside and out (save for a few bumper scuffs).
Very happy every time I start the engine!! The sound is a bit unsociable on a cold morning but I don't leave for work until around 8.30 or 9am most morning so not really an issue. I'm quite pleased at how quiet it can be at motorway speeds when not accelerating too, but push the pedal a bit and wow.
Thought I best get a V10 before it comes pretty much impossible, and didn't want spend RS6 money or M5 estate money.
