Why wouldn't an Audi dealer certify an RS6 with under 8,000 miles?

Any chance AoA is saying, "No certified RS6s"?

Default Do you know how much that would cost on an RS6?

For 100K miles? That would be 3 trannies, 2 short blocks, 2 sets of turbos....

If I was Audi, I would add something like 7K at least for the extended warranty.

Default I have a Audi Pure Protection plan (6yr/100K) on my new RS6 (yes covers turbos)

and I know that the warranty company will not go out of business as its backed by Audi. The Audi certified program is different than the Audi Pure Protection plan.

Default I spoke to a NY dealership Sat. about a audi certified RS with 3k miles

It's listed on cars.com as an S6.
Every option on it...$78500.

Default It's too new. Generally, certified cars must be more than one year old...

...but that one's down the street from me. Maybe I'll have to go take a test drive...

The ad has two phrases "balance of remaining factory warranty" and "no signs of collision damage".

Default What percentage of RS6's were 6 speeds...

anybody know?? Everyone I have seen appears to be a Tip. It just seems to me that if you were targeting real driving enthusiasts (please no flames), that you would sell at least half in 6 speeds.

Default No 6 spd RS6s in the US. All are tips. Same thing with the S6.

I agree that a 6 speed would be preferred by many enthusiasts.
