You are looking at (and possibly bidding on) an absolute time capsule.  I will try to give an exhaustive description of the car to encompass all that I would want to know if I were perhaps considering the purchase of a car sight unseen.  Here goes:  I own an operate a premier German repair shop in Denver.  Look us up on the internet--we are Paddock Imports.  We predominantly work on German cars, with a special interest in BMW, Porsche, and Audi.  This Quattro has been under our care since 2007, when the second owner bought it.  Roger was a meticulous owner, and attended to everything we ever recommended on this car.  He brought this car to us twice yearly and let us know that it was an "open credit card" situation.  As such, we took meticulous care of his beloved Quattro.  The mileage on this car is low because Roger also owns a Porsche, an E39 BMW M5, and a Ford F250.  This Quattro was a little hobby car for him, and as such, it got driven sparingly.  Eight months ago, Roger told me he was selling the car to make room for a collector Saab he bought.  After I got over the shock of him buying a Swedish car (better him than me) I jumped on the opportunity to buy this Audi for my son.  Caleb turned 16 last year and I had been looking for a reliable car for him to drive to school and hockey.  I therefore bought the car and went through every single nook and cranny to make it mechanically perfect.  Heres the list of what we did to it 8 months ago:  timing belt, spark plugs, distributor cap, distributor rotor, drive belt, timing belt roller, water pump, water pump seal, brake master cylinder, brake proportioning valve, expansion tank, expansion tank cap, camshaft seal, drive belt, coolant antifreeze, new door handles, all new fluids, and new battery.  Parts alone (I did the labor myself) totaled almost $2000.  Suffice it to say, the mechanical condition of the car is virtually flawless.  I would get in this car and drive it to Connecticut tomorrow. The only reason we are selling it is that Caleb has to drive himself and two of his teammates from school to hockey, and quite honestly, the car isn't big enough for these boys and their gear…not even close.  We therefore bought Caleb a BMW 528 wagon.  So the Audi goes to the next steward.  Here are some bullet notes:  

Mechanical:  Absolutely flawless--it doesn't leak a drop of anything.  not a single spec.  starts in the bitter cold and runs flawlessly. 

Glass:  perfect--not a scratch or chip in any of the original Audi glass.

Clutch:  plenty of life left in it--engages low and has great feel. 

Body:  not a single spec of rust anywhere on this car. It has been a Colorado car it's whole life and we do not use salt here--hence no corrosion.  The paint has tiny chips here and there commensurate with its age, but you have to look hard to find them.  I drive a brand new BMW M5 and this car honestly gets more thumbs up.  

Interior:  Indistinguishable from new!!  The dash is perfect with no warping or cracks, the old school felt seats are perfect with no tears, the seats are firm and supportive, the door cards look new, the headliner is perfect, and the original floor mats still look amazing!!  Interior is by far and away the most amazing part of the car---a true time capsule. 

Tires:  85% and balanced perfectly…I know because I did it myself. 

Electrical:  absolutely everything works--even the sunroof.  the passenger front window is going up and down slowly, but I will attend to that before the auction closes.

Heat:  blows very warm and strong

Radio:  my son had me install an Alpine deck with Pandora and iPod hookups.  I also installed Fosgate speakers for him.  Sounds really nice.

I am sure I forgot many things, so if you have questions, please feel free to call me on my cell phone.  Doug Paddock at 303-807-1863.

Bottom line, you are bidding on a super low mileage, pedigreed Audi, that looks and runs perfectly.  It will give some lucky buyer years of faithful service.  I am positive that I will never get all they money out of it that I put into it, but you know the old saying:  One man's dream…another man's bargain.  My family now officially has 4 cars and a 3 car garage, so the Audi is now at my shop.  I am therefore selling the car at NO RESERVE.  That's right.  High bid takes her home.  I will be happy to help with shipping arrangements.

Audi celebrates 500k TT models with new TTS Competition

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

The stylish Audi TT first debuted in 1998, and while we've only seen two generations of the car over the course of 15 years, some 500,000 examples have been sold. To mark the occasion, Audi has created this special TTS Competition model, available as either a coupe or a roadster and limited to just 500 units.
Competition models are set apart from the rest of the TTS range by their unique paint colors - Imola Yellow and Nimbus Gray. Additionally, the limited-run TTS wears new five-spoke, 19-inch alloy wheels and features a fixed rear wing (like the one on the TT RS).
Leather upholstery is found inside the cabin, done up in steel gray with yellow accents. Of course, there are special numbered plaques on the door trims, simply saying "1 of 500."

Audi releases quartet of A3 commercials, likely headed for Super Bowl

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

With the announcement from Audi that it's new A3 would be the star of this year's Super Bowl advertising efforts still relatively fresh, it comes as a bit of a shock that what may be game-bound ads for the new small car are already starting to show up.
A3forums found four ads for the new A3, all of which are currently unlisted on YouTube, that play on the idea of young drivers saving themselves for the right luxury car. The spots are amusing, although we'll admit that we've seen better from Audi. Each spot plays like a clip from a documentary, with owners of cars from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus talking about their regrets when it came to buying a luxury car, rather than waiting for the A3.
We've got all four videos below, so take a look now, as we're betting they'll be pulled before too long.

Audi renders crossover concept for Detroit, is it the Q1?

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Judging by the direction Audi is taking with recent concept vehicles, the forthcoming Audi Q1 crossover - confirmed for production in 2016 - should be an exciting little crossover. Last year, the automaker revealed the Crosslane Coupe Concept, and now it has announced it will reveal a new CUV concept at the Detroit Auto Show next month.
Teased in a trio of sketches, Audi says this unnamed concept is designed with a shooting brake style, which to us it makes it look like a combination of an Audi Allroad and a three-door A3. Little information is available on this concept, but it is about seven inches shorter than the Q3 and Audi notes that it will possess "design elements that are typical of e-tron models," which suggests some sort of powertrain electrification. There's still about a month before the Detroit show kicks off, but until then you can check out the sketches and press release (posted below) that Audi has provided.
