RS6 or E55 AMG
I'm in the middle of upgrading the family cars and as the wife is after a CLK convertible, I'm going to have to get a family car capable of carrying 5 of us.
Having looked at what's on offer in my budget (£17.5k), I'm looking towards a C5 RS6 or W211 E55 AMG. Has anyone on here run either of these? What are the running costs like as I've heard some horror stories about the RS6's.

I'd lean toward RS6 because I prefer Audi's...
You don't want to be doing the big daddy services (turbo's or timing chain) but around £17k they should have the stamps and near enough best of the best now at that money.
But couldn't fault the E55 if you went with one, would be slightly cheaper to run overall.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
as much as i love the rs6, the people i've heard who have had one have had shocking repair bills, suspension and turbo related. well into four figures.
i'd get the merc myself, as much as i adore everything the rs6 avant stands for.
