Holy crap man. Under 10k for a b8.5 rs5? WOW. That's an absolute steal...salvage or not. Minor pdr + a respray and that thing will look brand new. Wonderful pickup. I've been eyeing one for a long time and may go the salvage route as well if I can locate one that checks off enough boxes.
Hey man, just watched a ton of your old vids of the rs5 build and you did a great job. I got a 2018 Camaro SS as a daily but always considered getting a 2013-15 RS5 as a daily. Just wondering since you’ve had both, you think the RS5 is much better cause of the AWD and overall ease of driving? It’s a tough decision and I’m hesitant to change cause of German cars are usually much higher in maintenance. I’ve test drove a couple B8.5 RS5s and couldn’t tell whether I liked it more or not because the Maro has way more torque down low. Also, saw it on a shirt you wore in one of your old vids Go Green.
If maintenance cost is your concern with the B8.5 RS5 then I'd stay away. 5k just for the front rotors and brakes. Would not daily this car. I have one and it's used as a weekend car to keep the maintenance costs down.
Looks like he dropped 5 gears he was in 7th and then dropped to 5th and then again to 2nd gear which is insane to me that he could drop that many gears before reaching redline
I also have the same RS5 (2013) and I use it as a somewhat daily driver. Which brake pads do you use and where do you get them? Will you make a brake service video?
i would NEVER buy a used car like this from someone that did the maintenance themself. neither would a serious buyer that isn't prioritizing bargain bin prices. resale isn't the biggest thing, but people should know these won't hold value as well if they're doing the maintenance
I'm right now looking for one RS5 as a daily. I have lots of tools and all the passion to work on like I do with my other cars. Planning to get a 2015 with 113k kms. Clean tittle. But first thing I would do is change every single fluid. I have a Q5 with the 3.2 and every 15k kms I do CRC spray intake cleaning and it keeps the valves very clean. Keep posting videos man!
I just bought a 2013 RS5 about 2 weeks ago, I’ve been daily driving it and I can’t get enough of it. I picked it up for about $19k USD and it has almost 100k miles. It’s been really well maintained as the owner was a mechanic and I’ll be maintaining it very thoroughly too. Good luck with your search, you will not regret it when you find one!

He’s back! Didn’t realize how nice the stock exhaust sounded. Also interesting to hear the process FCP Euro offers.
After a long hiatus I decided to start making videos again! FCP is definitely worth checking out if you have a euro car, saves a ton of money
@@MichiganMusclethe important question I have is what did it need replaced/repaired wren you got it? Did they total it b/c the frame was bent…?
Incredible review
What a comeback!
I have a 2014 RS5 cabrio would luv to met up . Cheers mate

Awesome man! That’s amazing
A rs5 b8.5 under 10k???? Where can I find one?
I wonder if you are in Rochester? I'll keep my eye open for that 2013
I just wonder what is to be expected price-wise with the engine?
What shift sequence did you exactly do at 11:20?

Who'd salvage that baby
Excellent channel, figure life happens regarding no recent vids. You're a luck man quite the collection and set-up for toys 👍🏽
Where/How did you find this for 10k? It was in this condition or did you have to repair it?
