I want an Audi RS6 Avant

I'm watching MobLand, and I've fallen in love. No, not with the dashing Tom Hardy, or age appropriate Pierce Brosnan. I've fallen for the Audi RS6 Avant driven by Tom Hardy's character. With 620hp, it appears to be the perfect fusion of sport, luxury, and utility. The only issue is that $131,000 starting price.

So let me know if you'd like to contribute to my GoFundMe page, haha

A few years ago it was also $20-30k over MSRP. Dunno about now.

The original S6 Avants were total sleepers. I missed an opportunity to pick one up at a reasonable price a long time ago. I've have a couple older A6 Avants and they were marvelous road cars.

Isn't that like a black Audi wagon?

Dixie probably can't relate - but those of us that have been members on the forum for a while will.

Terrific cars. But...I have a friend that managed a bunch of dealerships, first here then in Jacksonville. He had an RS6, new. After it stranded him the second or third time, it had to go.
Apparently, they're not only rough to own off warranty.

But I get it, crazy beautiful interiors and the power is nuts.

E 63 AMG for me but I have a feeling you'll have better luck with a Go Fund Me than I would.

Best car we’ve ever owned, just saying! Should have never sold it.

Yeah, I'm tempted. S63's are now 10k routinely, that's a hell of a lot of car for the $$

W210 E63, bought it at 39k and sold it at 120k. Except for scheduled maintenance it needed an HVAC blower motor because the old one was starting to squeak. That’s it. Absolutely a phenomenal car and wonderful to drive.

Being an empty nester, the S63 coupe speaks very loudly to me.

The M156 is one of the best engines ever made. I’ve had three and will definitely have another sometime soon.

Maybe Dixie could start an "Only Fans" thing. She'd have the funds quicker.

If'n I ever own an Audi wagon, it will absolutely be black.

Me and the SCWDP will scour the parking lots looking for unsuspecting enthusiasts puffing their chests.

Back in '06 I looked at some used S6 Avants and Allroads. There was a guy in West LA that dealt in those 2 models. Great cars but I settled on the A3 that had just came out here in the US. I drove the A3 for 174k which was probably more than I would have gotten out of a used S6 Avant.
