Trade my e55 for a Audi RS6 ?

I am thinking real hard about trading my 05 E55 straight up for a Audi RS6 with 23000 miles.My car has 15000 miles.please give me the pros and con's of each car.I know this forum will be biased toward the E55 but please be honest with me if I am making a mistake.I don't know if I just want a change.I am wondering if I will be sorry later.There is something cool about that car that I like.All input is much appreciated!

Leadfoot,

You're exact question was just asked by another forum member just 2-3 weeks ago. Search this forum for E55 and RS6 and you should see a fairly recent thread with many opinions from this group.

Personally, everything I've read says you will be trading down slightly (not radically, just slightly) in several areas (performance, comfort, etc.).

Cheers,

Darren

what?! you already posted this! And you were talking about an RS6 with only 10k miles before! Do you not remember 95% of feedback being negative?

I think that Audi RS6 is the best Audi car on the market, but trading your E55 with a car with more miles on it? What year is that RS6?

if i had a 05 E55 i would not trade on a RS6. But if i had the ability to buy one i would get a RS6 if i lived in a place that can work on them. Not all audi dealer are RS certified. So say i bought one, and it broke, 400 miles on a roll back to the closest audi dealer would suck major go-nads.

The ONLY reason I can think of to trade your E55 for an RS6 would be if you really need the all-weather traction of Quattro...

Seriously, it's your car. Do whatever you want to do. We already gave you our opinion on this. If you think you are trading an E55 to an RS6 will make you happy, then by all means do it.
