2013 Audi S6 Prestige W/Warranty

[Racecore81]

2013 Audi S6 prestige for sale by owner. White exterior with black interior. This car is in excellent condition. Clean car fax and a full bumper to bumper warranty til 6/22/2020 or 100k. Whichever comes first. So there is no need to worry about something breaking for a while. I purchased the car in April of this year from an older gentleman in Salt Lake City Utah and drove it back. It had a clear paint protection covering the entire front clip of the car up to the front doors. Even the headlights where covered. It was installed when the car was brand new. It looked a little old so I peeled it of when I got back home from Utah. So the front of the car looks almost brand new as you can image almost nothing touched the paint on the front of the car til around 32k miles This Is a no nonsense car and whoever buys it will be more then pleased when they see it in person. I love the car but have the opportunity to buy a Nissan gtr and don't need or want to keep both. I bought the car with around 30k on it and it sits at about 38.8k miles right now. Might go up slightly as it's my daily driver. I had my local VW dealer install and ECU and TCU tune on the car from APR at around 33k and I have paperwork for that as well. The car sits at around 563hp / 627tq according to APR's website. Might be slightly more as those figures did not include having an exhaust as I have done. It is stage 1 ECU tune. It completely changed the car for the better. It's an absolute blast to drive!
I have also installed an AWE track edition exhaust which in my opinion is perfect. Not to loud inside the car at all. Under normal driving it almost sounds stock until you give it some gas. I Was nervous about drone on the track system but was more then happy after I got in it for the first time. It was $700 cheaper for the track edition and AWE said I could buy the mufflers after to achieve the quitter touring edition if it was to loud. So I figured I would try without to save $700 first and was pleasantly surprised. I actually thought that it could be a little louder even. I have stock exhaust that I will include for free if anyone wants it to go with the car. I also can take the tune off the car as well. The only other thing I did was add lowering links to the car. It doesn't change anything about the car except allows each mode to go slightly lower. Rides great even in dynamic still (the lowest most aggressive suspension setting ). It does not set any light off in the dash either as some people think it does. I also have the factory links to go with the car as well. There is a clean car fax report that I can provide from when I bought it but obviously if you want the most current you would have to purchase one. asking $38,900.
Please feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have! (603) 540-1717

VERY nice ride. Are you the 2nd owner? Was it driven in the snow of Utah? Nissan will be an entirely different car! Thx.

I sold my s7 about 7 months ago and bought a GTR. Fast forward 6 months, and i sold the GTR and bought another audi. Good luck....

I’m not sure if it was driven in the snow. I would have to say yes. I’m sure it was here or there but he garaged the car and kept a car cover on it all the time. I’m technically the third owner. He bout the car with like 2500 miles on it from what I can remember.

Wow. Really? Do you mind me asking why. I know that might be a loaded question but maybe you can save me some hassle. Lol

Honestly man, the cool factor will have you riding high for about 3-4 months. The car is so cool and so rare that you will smile every time you start her up. You can’t drive a half of a mile without the cars on the road next to you taking out their phones at a stop light and recording you / snapping pics. And the car is an absolute blast to drive.

But once that cool factor begins to lose its shine, here’s what you are left with..
The car is extremely unrefined. The transmission is very clunky and loud gear changes from inside the cabin get annoying. The brakes squeak, no motor what pads you but on our how new your pads are. There are all kinds of rattles from inside the cock pit. You can hear road debris from underneath the undercarriage as your driving. The interior styling feels very dated and certainly doesn’t match the high end quality of a German car.

None of these things would be an issue, and i truly mean none of these things, if i was going to use the car the way i originally intended when i bought it. Which would have been for street and track use and weekend cruising. Most of those things i listed would have actually been a positive in my mind if i was able to use the car as a race car the way i intended. Hearing all the noises and feeling the road and being connected to the machine would have all been pluses for me if it was my dedicated race car.

The problem that i didn’t fully understand until after i already owned the car is how incredible expense is was going to be to get the car to the performance levels i wanted it at. I had already taken the car to a full bolt on / e85 level, and dynoed @ 620awhp. But for a car that weighs 3900lbs, that just was not enough. I had seen so many write ups and videos of 1000-1600whp GTRs that i thought i would have to just install bigger turbos, do a clutch pack, and basic rod upgrades to the motor to get there. I chalked up in my head i would be maybe 10-12 grand to do a big turbo upgrade (because the turbo kits i shopped where only like 6k, whiched seemed great)

Well i was wrong. Big time. I assumed that the incredibly amount of R&D that the big companies had dumped into this platform since 2009 would equal so much competition that the prices for upgrades would be pennies compared to the Audi upgrades i was used to. Shopping the parts for these upgrades that i thought i needed confirmed this. What i didn’t know was that the transmission build i would need to hold that power was going to cost $14,000 by itself and require the car to be down for 2 months. Separate of that, the motor build i would need wasn’t just upgraded rods, it was a full block build and another 8-10k. All in, to get anywhere close to the power i wanted i was looking at $50,000 including labor. Add that to the $70,000 i spent on buying the car, and i throw in the towel. Can i afford it? Sure. Would it have been fun? Absolutely. But is it worth it? FUCK NO. I can build an LS car with 1,000hp for 35k INCLUDING buying the damn car. I can build a 1,000hp 2j Supra for 50k INCLUDING buying the car. And in both those scenarios i can have a manual transmission which is what i desire anyway.

Sorry for the super long reply but i wish i had all the facts before i bought my GTR.

If you aren’t much of a racer, have a 4 door sedan already to drive as a daily driver, and just want a factory stock sports car / boarder line super car to drive on the weekends and to cars and coffee than a GTR is amazing. Buy it. Love it. Cherish it.

But if you will have to drive the GTR more than 2-3 days a week OR if you are a guy that always wants to add power and always upgrades his cars after buying them, RUN AWAY.

Wow. Please don’t apologize for the long write up! I feel like Thats is exactly the kind of info I wanted to hear. It would be a car that I would drive 2-3 day a week maybe more and all that noise would drive me bonkers! I’m the guy who starts going “did you hear that!?” All the time when I’m driving lol. I hate noises they drive me nuts. That’s one of the reasons I like the s6 so much. I have a 650i gran coupe and it’s a 14 but is nowhere near as refined as the Audi and I’m a Bmw guy. In the looks department I’ll pick the gran coupe all day long but as far as performance and drivability it’s the s6 all day. I am in the same boat as you. I’m always changing cars and I’m looking for that car that I can make really fast but I def don’t wanna spend another $50k on mods that I will never get back. I think I am thinking along the same lines as you before you bought your gtr I guess. I’m curious now cause I was thinking of buying an rs7 and tuning that stage 1 or 2. I see you went back to an s7 and did all those nice upgrades to it . I know that’s not cheap either. How would you compare the s7 with rs turbos vs a s7 with just a tune? is it total night and day difference? Is it that far off speed wise from your previous gtr? Thank you so much for your input!

I actually own an s6 now, not an s7. The s7 in my sig is from before. My new s6 is in its early stages of being modded, but i am building a street car / track on as a project on the side and keeping my s6 as my daily driver car.

A stage 2 rs7 is just about exactly as fast as a full bolt on upgraded GTR running e85. Both cars will do 10.2x in the standing quarter mile.

Stage 2 rs7 costs are downpipe plus tune. ($3500?)

Full bolt on package for GTR costa anywhere from $4500-$10000 depending on which brands you choose and if you do the installs yourself.

You would be much, much happier in the rs7 given what you just said about refinement and road noises.

Sounds like the OP should go out and test drive the GTR to verify all things being said before putting his car up for sale! Good luck!

[Racecore81]

Lol. That’s what my wife said. I can be a little impetuous at times but none the less that gtr didn’t pan out and I’m thinking I still want an rs7. I almost pulled the trigger on one before I bought the s6 which I have driven. I should have saved myself the hassle and just bought it but oh well here we are. If it doesn’t sell for what ever reason I’ll keep it. I do love it still but the pursuit for speed never seems to end for some of us! Lol

I might have to fly down to fl for this car. Been looking for s6, but with the extended coverage and dealer installed apr tune... it might be worth for me to fly down from new england.
