1990 Audi 90 20v Quattro

Very rare Audi that was only made with this engine in 1990 and 1991.  It was offered in both a coupe and a sedan.  During those two years Audi built around 1700 coupes and less than 1000 sedans.  They came with tons of features that were pretty far ahead of the times back then.  It was equipped with power everything, heated seats, automatic climate control, a power moonroof, drivers airbag, headligh washers, integrated ski bag, a factory rear spoiler, BBS alloy wheels and with things that are still unheard for today like an ABS kill switch and a locking rear differential.  

Here is an article that Automobile Magazine did on this car under its collectible classics section a few years ago.

automobilemag.com/features/collectible_classic/1011_1990_1991_audi_90_quattro_20v 

I had been looking for one of these for quite some time in unmodified condition.  It was a 2 owner car that was originally purchased in Roanoke Virginia (autocheck is counting title events from when the second owner moved from Virginia to North Carolina as a new owner).  I found it when the second owners son convinced his mother to sell it and get it out of their yard where it had been sitting for a while.  Due to it sitting it had some issues and I have addressed nearly all of them and have over $2000 worth of receipts dated since October to prove it!!  It is now in great running condition.  The engine is strong and has great compression and the Quattro all wheel drive works great (check out the snow pic)!!  The interior is also in great shape with no rips or tears in the seats, and no major stains, the power windows and locks are all working as well

Here is a partial list of parts and maintenance items that I have completed (again I have receipts for all of this no gimmicks here).  I have used only oem or oem spec parts and have not modified the car in anyway, except for the radio (I wanted something with an aux input and found the most factory looking radio I could).  I still have the factory radio and it will be included.


Front and rear struts
Front and rear strut mounts and boots
4 new tires
2 Front wheel bearings
Front breaks
Rear Rotors
Rear Breaks
Tie Rod assemblies (inner and outter ends)
Steering rack boot 
Front ball joints
Rear ball joints
Drivers side Window regulator
Front control arm bushings (4 total)
Rear control arm bushings (4 total)
Front sway bar links
Thermostat
Oil change
Several new switches 
Radio/rear speakers
Headlights
Custom exhaust repair
Power steering hose
Hydraulic fluid
Full size matching BBS alloy wheel as a spare


So onto some things I haven't completed.  It still needs a good detail inside and out.  The headliner isn't sagging but has some stains and was cut along the side when the previous owner had a phone installed (yes a car phone not a cell phone!!). The interior dome light isn't working could just be bulbs but I haven't played with it.  There are some minor body work issues that you may want to fix (minor dents) they didn't bother me but they are there (luckily the white paint doesn't show much).  The drivers side seat heater is not working, the passenger side works great but I haven't looked into the drivers side yet.  I did pick up a new switch for it but I haven't replaced it yet and I'm not sure that's the problem.  The rear differential is a little wet it looks like the axle seals are seeping a little but I have checked the fluid and the level is good so I haven't touched that yet either.  Germanautoparts website sells the seal kit for $80.  The AC is not working and would need converted to r134a.   The only other thing I can think of is the fog lights, one of them has a shattered lens and I haven't been able to find a replacement.  The other one is in good shape but I had to pull it out to pass Virginia inspection.  I know that sounds like a lot but I am just don't want there to be any surprises!

As you can see in the pictures I have two keys, the original owners manual, and a Bentley repair manual.  I also have some receipts from the previous owner that include a $3000 service from 2007.  Some spare switches for the interior, the factory radio and a few other spare parts that will be included with the car.  

So why am I getting rid of it after all this hard work and money invested?  I unfortunately can't afford a project car at this point and even though its in great shape now it is still a 24 year old car and anything can happen so I have decided to move on.  

Feel free to call, text or email me with any questions.

Audi A3 outselling Mercedes CLA 2 to 1 in its first 3 months on sale

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

The Audi A3 is on fire in US showrooms. Not literally of course, that would be horrible, and the situation we're referring to is a good thing indeed, as the Four Rings has a serious hit on its hands with the compact luxury sedan. Looking at just its first three months on the market, the entry-level model is outselling the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class by nearly two to one.
The CLA was one of the hottest new cars of last year. Mercedes even called it the company's best launch in 20 years, but it sees as if that early sales performance has not been sustainable. According to Bloomberg, the CLA has seen its sales drop year-over-year in seven of the last eight months, and the new A3 came at just the right time to fill that void.
In June, Mercedes shifted 1,658 CLAs in the US, compared to 2,452 for the A3. The Merc has sold more units so far this year but only because the Audi sedan has only been on sale for three full months. With the two cars being relatively comparable as compact, front-wheel-drive, German luxury sedans, it appears buyers prefer the Four Rings over the Mercedes star, so far at least.

Audi confirms S8 Plus for US to debut in LA

Wed, Nov 11 2015

Audi has confirmed that the new S8 Plus will indeed be coming to North America. The more potent version of the German automaker's flagship sedan was first revealed in August, and Audi will bring it to the upcoming Los Angeles auto show. The Plus model packs the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the existing S8 (and the Bentley Continental for that matter), but increases output from 520 horsepower to 605 hp and torque from 481 pound-feet to 516 lb-ft (or 553 on overboost). The result is a 0-62 time quoted at 3.8 seconds to give the likes of the Mercedes-AMG S63, Jaguar XJR, and Maserati Quattroporte a run for their money. Audi of America has not announced US pricing for the S8 Plus or final specifications for the American market. Look for an MSRP in the neighborhood of $140k. The Audi S8 Plus will debut in LA alongside the new RS7 Performance and the second-generation R8, which will be making its US auto show debut at the SoCal expo. TRIO OF AUDI SPORT® AND PERFORMANCE MODELS TO MAKE US DEBUT AT LA AUTO SHOW – AUDI R8, RS 7 PERFORMANCE AND S8 PLUS - The second generation of the R8 high-performance halo car makes its U.S. auto show debut - Auto show debut of new RS 7 performance enhances brand's dynamic profile - S8 plus strengthens Audi's position in premium sedan segment November 10, 2015 | HERNDON, Virginia -- Reinforcing the brand's success from road to track, Audi will showcase a trio of new performance vehicles – including the all-new R8, RS 7 performance and S8 plus – at the Los Angeles Auto Show. "The Audi Sport® and performance models have always been an essential part of our brand's character," said Filip Brabec, Director of Product Management for Audi of America. "The Audi R8, RS 7 performance and S8 plus represent the maximum of Audi performance, premium design and technology for our customers." 2017 Audi R8 The fastest and most powerful Audi of all time, the 2017 R8 represents the pinnacle of performance for any model with the four rings. Thanks to the close cooperation between Audi Sport® engineers, race drivers and developers, the Audi R8 and R8 LMS racecar were co-developed and share approximately 50 percent of the same parts, including the V10 engine. The R8 launches with two powertrain variants: the 5.2L V10 with 540 hp, an increase of 15 hp from the previous R8 model or the R8 V10 Plus, boasting a powerful 610 hp, an increase of 60 hp, making it faster, more powerful and more dynamic than its predecessor.
