The offer we make is the offer you get for 7 days.*
The price holds as long as the vehicle, title, mileage, and condition match what you submitted. If hidden or unreported damage is found at pickup, we’ll make the adjustment and give you a counter-offer on the spot — and the decision is yours.
Tell us about your car
The RS 5 generations we buy
The RS 5 began in the US as a 4.2L V8 coupe for 2013–2015 — a high-revving, naturally aspirated car now chased as a modern classic — then returned for 2019 as a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 in coupe and five-door Sportback forms. Both generations are the A5's maximum expression: wide arches, quattro grip, and running costs that belong to the RS badge rather than the segment.
For the RS 5 in Los Angeles, name the generation honestly — the V8 cars and the twin-turbo cars have different buyers and different bills. Carbon history on the V8 and brake condition on both decide the number; a documented RS 5 is a strong car here.
What we buy — your RS 5 included
Most 2010-and-newer cars
Sedans, SUVs, and vans from any maker, clean or with fixable issues.
Japanese vehicles of any age
Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.
Trucks of any age
Pickups are the top of our want list — working trucks, high-mileage trucks, Japanese trucks included.
Where the line is
We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:
- No working key
- Blown engine
- Shot transmission
- Major structural damage
- Heavily stripped
- Trash-filled or severely neglected
How selling your RS 5 works here
01
Describe your car
Enter the VIN to auto-fill the year, make, and model — or skip it for now and enter those details yourself. The VIN is optional at intake and mandatory before booking.
02
Complete the condition page
Answer the same 12 condition questions our buyer checks at pickup. The condition page defaults to no issues — open the checklist only if something applies.
03
Review the next step
See the offer path and share your number for follow-up. Any later changes wait for admin review.
Common RS 5 problems we still buy
Carbon buildup on the 4.2L V8
The high-revving V8 is direct-injected and builds intake carbon that costs real power; cleaning is a known rite of RS 5 ownership priced in head work. Owners who bought the noise and feel the fade sell the cleaning bill with the car.
Water pump, thermostat, and cooling leaks
Both generations age their plastic cooling hardware into leaks with labour-heavy access. On a car where every system is the performance version, the cooling quote is rarely the only quote, and owners read the pile.
Gearbox service and faults
The S tronic in the V8 cars and the eight-speed in the turbo cars both punish skipped fluid services with shift faults that take dealer-level tools to chase. Transmission behaviour is the first thing an RS buyer checks and the thing that most often re-prices one.
Brakes, tyres, and sport differential costs
RS consumables are priced at RS levels, and the sport differential adds its own service and fault possibilities. A car needing brakes, tyres, and a diff service at once is a car whose owner is about to become a seller.
Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.
RS 5 seller questions
Do you buy a RS 5 that failed smog?
Yes. Smog failure is one of the 12 condition answers, so the offer accounts for it up front. You do not need to pay for diagnosis, repairs, or a retest before pickup.
My RS 5 has over 150,000 miles. Is that a problem?
High mileage alone does not disqualify a RS 5. If it starts, drives, and has a working key, report the mileage honestly in the form and we will price the whole car, not just the odometer.
How much is my RS 5 worth?
It comes down to the individual car: year, mileage, trim, and the 12 condition answers. We review every application by hand and send one clear offer, guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description — no automated lowball and no haggling at the curb.
Can I sell a RS 5 with a lien or a lost title?
Yes to both — name the lender or pick the title situation that matches yours in the form. Complicated paperwork is part of what we handle, and we explain the correct next step before scheduling.
