Default Brought home my new A6 2.7T Saturday!

I found a buyer for my 01 2.8 which made it possible for me to close the deal on this 2003 A6 2.7T. NOW the fun starts
First up, Oil change, brake flush and trany service. Then ill be looking at painting the calipers and getting some slotted rotors.

Thanks for looking!









Part of what sold me on this car, besides the obvious cleanness and the BiTurbo engine was the interior. I really love the Vanilla/Ebony look.

Nice condition! Black is the way to go with the C5 - it resists dating better than other colors, IMO. In it vanilla/ONYX, dude....

Thanks man, ya know the Vanilla/Onyx interior is a big part of what sold me on this car. I could only find one other like it online using Cars.com and auto trader and looking coast to coast. I see you have the same thing

Nice looking ride. I have never seen that combination. Since I have teenagers, I would never buy a white interior. But it looks awesome. Consider changing your differential and transfer case fluid as well, and the brake fluid should be done every 2 years.

very nice color combo! Love the vanilla interior, although not the "sport" seats. At least you have the power rear sunshade and rear door shades. If you have kids, those are essential!

Thanks
I agree the sport seats would have been fantastic!
Do you by chance have a source for sport seats? Something for me to think about.

So much to do so little time ;-)

Sport seats are difficult to find, and even if you can find them, they are typically no the color you need. Vanilla is already a rare color, so I highly doubt you'd ever find a set for sale. I think a local RS6 owner replaced his platinum RS6 seats (basically the same as the A6 sport seats but with contrast color piping, finer leather grain, and for 2002 and earlier 4.2 folks, a flat seat bottom (vs. the middle seat "hump" for true 5-passenger seating). However, I do not think the RS6 platinum seats are even close to the vanilla interior, so it would not match your car.

For now, just enjoy the ride!!!
