Congrats on your continued enjoyment.

My wife still tells me the RS6 was her favorite of my cars. Two e90 M3s later, I'm making plans for an A8 or S8. Diesel Ford Super Duty as my DD in the meantime. Hopefully not for long. Wonder how Goodwood Green would look on an S8?

Yep,

My RS6 garage queen finally turned over 40k this year. I ran up the miles on my daily driven AMG to 120k and replaced it with....drum roll.....another RS6. So the "new" daily RS6 started out at 30k and counting this year and has 4 years of Audi platinum coverage left.

I like the stealth look of the new S6 next but it will be a few years while I enjoy the 2nd RS6 as my daily.

Just put my snows on last week.

A8 is ok with all seasons but the Dunlop M3 winter tires in my RS are much better.

What kinds of problems do you guys experience around the 100k mark? There is a 2003 RS6 for sale locally with 117k miles for only $15k. Since I cannot afford a new one if they ever make it available in the states, I figured I'd buy a used one to have some fun. It would likely replace my current pickup truck as my daily driver for the next couple years. What am I looking at in terms of maintenance costs over the next couple years? I would have an independent Audi mechanic do all the work including oil changes. Thanks.
