SF Bay Area, 2003 Audi C5 RS6 Project Salvage Needs Body Work, 450 HP V8 Bi-Turbo

[Cut You Off]

As the title states, this is a project ideal for someone that has the skills to perform body work/paint, has a family member/friend that works in auto body, or is searching for a parts car. This is not a project for someone who will pay a body shop $5k-$6k to repair it with brand new OEM parts, doesn't make sense since you can find one in the upper teens with a clean title. I'm the 2nd owner and have put ~2,000 miles on it during the 14 months I have owned it. The body damage does not affect drivability and I use it for my short commute to work 2x/week. I have the salvage title in hand ready to be transferred to the new buyer and tags have been paid for. It passed smog last month. As you can see in the photos, it was hit on the passenger rear side, the front end has not been affected. I purchased it in the condition you see pictured.

The interior is in great condition 9/10; seats have minimal wear if any, no cracks, no check engine lights, Bose stereo sounds fantastic, A/C blows cold, seat warmers work, sunroof slides smoothly, have the original floor mats that click into place, and all buttons and functions work except one or two windows slide up/down with some difficulty. there is a trim piece that is loose, and 2 hairline cracks on a plastic panel...common items found in most cars that are 13 years old with 97k miles. I had a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) performed by 034 Motorsports when it was originally purchased and is available for review. If you would like your mechanic to go over the vehicle I am more then happy to oblige so long as it's within a reasonable distance of 94538.

It was purchased new at Rusnak Audi in Pasadena, CA where it was serviced by the original owner for the 95k miles he/she owned it. I contacted Rusnak Audi to collect a copy of the service history but they can not release it without the previous owner's consent since it has their contact info on it. You can contact their service department directly at (626) 229 2419 and inquire about the history of the vehicle by providing the VIN #. I was told the previous owner "spared no expense" when it came to maintenance. The timing belt was replaced at 75k miles, rear brakes at 85k miles, new battery and front brakes at 93k miles, etc. All done at the Audi dealer. During my ownership, my mechanic replaced the cam sensor.

I contacted Audi NA about some figures and this is what they emailed me:
There were 1,436 model year 2003 Audi RS 6 4.2 Sedan 4-DR Auto quattro® sold in the U.S.
There were 292 model year 2003 Audi RS 6 4.2 Sedan 4-DR Auto quattro with Ebony Pearl Effect exteriors sold in the U.S.
We are not able to pull package specific information on production number for our vehicles. That being said, I was not able to locate information regarding how many of that vehicle were sold with the Warm Weather package, as you requested.

I have had different plans on what to do...strip it and build a track car, swap the motor and build a 6 spd RS6 Avant and part the rest to help fund the project, find a donor RS6 that has been hit in the front, etc. Can't decide and I would like to payoff some debt so I've been putting it up for sale from time to time.

I have it listed on cars.com for $9,888. I've had many offers on it but I'm not desperate to sell it for cheap. So long as you are not the typical Craigslist bottom feeder, hit me up and we can negotiate the price but be reasonable. You can PM me, call or text (preferred) @ 510-648-8001.

Vehicle is sold!

New buyer is planning on using it as a donor vehicle to complete another project and will be parting most of it out. Please contact Joe directly at 415-279-2170 or [email protected] to inquire about what he is willing to sell.
