Those of you that OWN your Audi please tell me the cost of maintenance and/or repair work and Insurance premiums. My son has his heart set on getting the RS5 coupe. (later when working pays off) Tell me the pros and cons. Thanks!

They're expensive as shit. My cousin is on his second Audi and he always gets the quatros(AWD) and most the drivetrain has to come off to work on it. He had a rear main seal leak(I believe) he paid $1,800 to get it fixed!

A lot depends on the years..I would not get anything pre 2008. I've had one and so has my fiance and they both required work.

I'd buy one new w/warranty because most things do require you to drop the motor to fix on a lot of small bullshit. Ask blown67 he got like two of them now lol.

Rs5 is GT500 territory price wise, I'd rather spend money on a newer M5 e63 c63 Z06 70k for only 450 hp is sad comparably.
Oh and don't forget about the GTR

Holy toledo! Those rs5's are expensive! He must have a good job to drop money on one of those! Thats damn near up there with owning real estate!
Maybe a lease would be a good option?
