1995.5 Audi S6 (UrS6) (http://www.panjo.com/buy/1995-5-audi-s6-urs6-121835)
I've had this car for about 9 months and it was a great interim car for commutes while I was trying to save some cash. Did I end up saving any cash? Not really. I've spent a bunch of money repairing things on it that weren't right when I got it and things that broke along the way. Things will continue to break, that's just the way things go on a car this old. But right now, it's running well and nothing is outright broken on it. No accidents and clean title.
Let's start with physical condition. This is a fair example of a UrS6. The exterior paint condition is poor from neglect, heat and sun. The worst part of it is the hood which has oxidized and discolored from the heat of the engine bay. The rest of body paint is in okay shape. No major chips or peels, but plenty of dents, dings and scratches. The good news is it's a California car and there's no rust.
The interior is in similarly okay shape. The driver seat bolster leather has torn but layers of beige duct-tape serve a bandaid pretty well. Similarly with the rear seat on one side. The carpet is in good shape but has some stains. The dash and steering wheel are in good shape. The stereo works well. I added an auxiliary input directly into it by rigging up a switch for the CD audio so you can be modern and hook up your phone to it.
Mechanically, it runs pretty strong. Turbo still pulls well. Transmission is in good shape, no grinds or difficulty getting into gear. There is a very short rough idle (about 20-30 seconds) when it's been sitting for more than a few days. There's plenty of meat left on the brake pads. This car is a hoot to drive, which is what attracted me to it despite the high mileage. How high? Presently 276,5xx miles. That's a lot but if these cars are well cared for it's not uncommon to get these well into the 300s.
I have a spreadsheet with service history going back over 150,000 miles. The car was previously maintained by 2Bennett Audimotive in Davis, CA. There's tons of receipts from there to go along with the vehicle. I spent a while trying to figure out what was causing noise in the front passenger suspension. After replacing virtually everything, I found out it was 2Bennett's camber plates. So I removed them and put in regular strut tower mounts which stopped the noise.
The prior owner added HID headlights, put on 2Bennett lowering springs, the 18" A8 wheels, put on a bunch of 034 silicone hoses and replaced some of the mounts. The engine had a complete head rebuild by the owner before that at 2Bennett at 194k miles. A common part to fail on these are the camshaft position sensors, that was replaced at 235k miles. Timing belt was done at 224k miles. There is nothing that presently needs done to this car based on milage unless you wanted to prematurely replace the clutch which was done around 85k miles ago, but it doesn't slip at all and I've heard stories of these clutches going over 100k miles without incident.
Here's the list of work that has been done since I've owned it within the last 7k miles:
New Koni Sport adjustable front struts
New strut tower mounts
New starter
New ignition switch
New rear trailing arm bushings
New front passenger axle shaft
New front passenger control arm
New front wheel bearings
New front strut bump stops
New front strut bellows
New O2 sensor
New Bosch fuel injector (#4)
New fuel injector seals and filters
New battery
034 Motorsport short shifter
034 Motorsport High-Output coils, harness and wires
New spark plugs
New heater core
New climate control blower fan
New fuel pump
New trunk struts
New windshield washer pump
New HID ballasts
New valve cover gasket
New auxiliary (after-run) water pump
