The Appeal

The C5-generation Audi S6 Avant paired a naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V8 with quattro all-wheel drive and the practicality of a wagon body, a combination that has earned it a devoted following among those who value fast, understated, and capable cars. The V8 engine is widely regarded as one of the finest Audi ever produced, and unmodified examples are increasingly sought after.

This particular S6 Avant has been in its current ownership since August 2022, during which time it has covered just 9,000 miles. Finished in Atlas Gray Metallic over a black Alcantara and Nappa leather interior with factory RECARO sport seats, it is well equipped from the factory, with additional options including an electric sunroof and Bose audio. It comes with a service history from new, supported by invoices from multiple shops, and the current owner has reportedly continued with annual oil and filter changes. With a current MOT through June 2027, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, unmodified example.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We request that a nonrefundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorcycles for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
