Why We Love It:
Given the recent exchange rates, buying cars in Canada using the American dollar can be a great way to get a deal or reach beyond your budget for the right car. Also, given the typical willingness to travel an aficionado of tailored cars will be willing to travel for the right car, traveling to Canada for a special build and going through the importation process isn’t something to fret about much. Now, throw on the fact that Canada gets some options Americans don’t and that’s icing on the cake. It is with this in mind that we share with you this very low mileage RS 6 performance that’s popped up at a Chevy dealer in Alberta.
For starters, no matter what market this car is in, it’s an exceptionally tasteful specification. Audi exclusive paint, listed as Oak Green by the dealer, is a definite bonus. Worth noting, this isn’t Audi Oak Green Metallic but rather Porsche Oak Green Metallic (oakgrünmetallic; metallic uni; 265 / 22L / 60K; Porsche). In fact, it looks awfully close to a car we featured photos of a few months back HERE.
Beyond the paint, there’s a lot more to like about this car. This Albertan Ford dealer is exceptionally detailed in their listing, so here’s what we can share about the car. Based on the listing, it’s got: Audi Exclusive Oak Green Metallic Paint, Cognac w/ grey Stitching, Valcona Leather, Dynamic Package, Carbon Matte Optics Package, Matte Neodym 22 5 Y Spoke Wheels, Bang and Olufsen Advanced 3D Sound System, Leather Package, Black Dinamica Headliner, Night Vision Assistant.
Beyond that, they also list some aftermarket add-ons. These include: AWE Tuning SwitchPath Cat-back Exhaust, CETE Lowering Module, H&R 10mm/12mm Wheels Spacers, Full Body PPF by Posh Detailing, Window Tint 35% and 70% by Posh Detailing, Exoshield Front Windshield by Posh Detailing, Kamiglaze Ceramic Coating by Posh Detailing. We also see Audi Accessories roof bars and rubber mats in the photos.
So let’s get back to the Canadian spec of this car. First, it’s got the aforementioned Neobdym wheel finish, which is a slightly gold/platinum color. While offered as a stand alone option in Europe and likely in Canada too, Audi of America blocked this wheel finish after fitting them exclusively on the RS 6 performance Bronze Edition and RS 7 performance Bronze Edition. Unless you got one of those cars or imported the wheels yourself, Americans can’t get them. In our eyes, that makes this car even more desirable.
Now let’s get back to price. In more recent months, the Canadian dollar has fallen in value compared to the U.S. dollar. Other than a drop recently to about .60 cents on the U.S. dollar, it’s been tracking mainly at .70 cents to the U.S. dollar. Apply that conversion to this car’s listed price and you get an exceptionally good deal for any RS 6 performance, let alone one Audi exclusive paint, very low mileage, American unobtainium wheels, and a host of other useful equipment including PPF and ceramic coating.
Are there any caveats? Based on what we know, and we defer to experts on this, the car is certified for the North American market, so the warranty should transfer to the U.S. based on a chat with contacts who are more familiar with the process than us. There may be a process, and we’re not familiar with it so we’d suggest figuring that part out before buying if having a warranty in place is important to you. Also, even though it’s certified for North America, there is a basic importation process from Canada to the U.S.A. that may have associated costs. There’s also basic duties to consider and, beyond that, the tariff landscape that could change things depending out American politics play out. You’ll want to dig more into all of these if you’re considering this car and you’re American. Clearly, if you’re Canadian, then have at it as we assume that’s not much harder than finding the money.
Honestly, we debated not even sharing this one so we might inquire about buying it ourselves. Check it out via the link above.
