Miami, Florida, United States

You are bidding on a no reserve auction for a 2005 Audi A4 Convertible.  This car is gray exterior with a gray leather interior.  This is a no reserve auction which means the high bidder gets it even if it is only $1!  I have had the car since 2010 and I think I was the 3rd owner. This car was garaged the whole time I had it. This car has been my daily driver, but I really don't drive much and have only put 7K miles a year on it since I bought it.  In 2011 at 72,000 miles I had the oil sludge problem that is common to this model and had to replace the engine with a used one that had about 20,000 miles less than the one in the car so the mileage on the new engine is actually less than the mileage on the car.  I believe in full disclosure and try to disclose every defect when I sell my cars so the buyer knows exactly what they are bidding on.  This is the 4th personal vehicle I have sold on ebay and I have 100% positive feedback.  This is a 2005 car so there is the normal wear and tear on the interior and exterior.  I just had the car detailed and it looks great though!  There is some flaking plastic on the headlight switch and the A/C module.  I noticed a door ding on the passenger side door when I was going over it and there may be some smallish scratches as you might expect of a car of this age.  There are some scuffs on some of the wheels (see in pics below).  The center armrest opens further than it should but it worked fine so I didn't replace it (see in pics below).  I had some damage from a towing company on the front air dam and had it replaced along with one of the radiator fans under an insurance claim back in July of 2013. I also backed into a pole in a parking garage so had to replace the rear bumper cover and tail light.  When they replaced the bumper cover, they told me that the rear quarter panel on the driver's side was pushed in as well.  I didn't want to replace the quarter panel though so it is a little pushed in right near the rear tail light on the driver's side (see in pics below).  You can see a small gap in the rear window of the convertible top so it may need to be reglued or replaced at some point (see in pics below).  I haven't noticed it leaking though so it can probably wait for a while.  I have noticed a vibration in the car when I am accelerating from 40-60 so I think the motor mounts might need to be replaced at some point which is common on a car of this milage.  There is something wrong with the convertible top storage compartment in the trunk.  It doesn't effect the operation of the top in any way.  There is a lever that you can turn to increase the storage space in the trunk when the top is up and that is where the problem is.  You can still push it up by hand to use the extra trunk space, but the lever doesn't operate as it should (see in pics below where it is cracked). The hood release lever under the dash broke as well but you can still open it so I haven't replaced it. I replaced the rotors and brake pads and the alternator in May of 2012.  I know there are a lot of pics and I'm sorry if it takes a while to download them, but I like to give as many as I can. I'm selling the car because I am moving out of Florida and don't need a car any more. The car must be picked up and paid for within 3 days of the auction end because I will be leaving Miami as soon as the car is sold.
This is the pushed in rear quarter panel.
   
This is the little gap around the rear window on the soft top.
 
Scuffs on the wheels
Flaking on the A/C control module "-" button.
 
Front tire wear.

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program

Tue, 04 Oct 2011

You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.

2014 Audi S3 Cabriolet

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

Drivers are either droptop people or they're not. As most usually aren't - at least as far as the willingness to buy one is concerned - all convertibles tend to remain strictly niche cars. Thus, automakers must ask a noticeably higher price for them.
The Audi S3 Cabriolet is about as niche as you can get in the open daylight of mainstream automaking. Of course, the S3 cab doesn't really need to sell in big volumes; it exists because it's an easy and not too costly bit of flair for the company. In the US, this model would probably base out at around $44,000 if it were to join our fleet, which is problematic, as I'll soon explore.
In what may be a sign that Audi is essentially okay with all this, it had me up to central Sweden to twist around on the snow and ice in the open S3. The grounds ended up offering precious little ice and snow, so I drove the two-door ragtop on dusty, thawing Scandinavian roads. This was a blessing really, since ice driving in a cabrio - even a Quattro one - doesn't really reveal much of anything about such a car in its typical day-to-day life.

Audi Prologue concept drives itself to CES with updated powertrain

Thu, Jan 8 2015

What's the point in crafting a one-off concept car if it only gets to stand in the spotlight at one show? That's what automakers have been asking themselves recently, and the answer has, generally speaking, been to repaint their show cars, give them a bit of new tech and put them back on center stage. And the latest to do so is Audi, which has given its Prologue concept a new lease on life. The Prologue was originally unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show less than two months ago, showing the way forward for the future of Audi design, in an elegant coupe form that looked ready to take on the Mercedes S-Class Coupe. We even got a chance to drive it around the streets of LA, and when we did, we marveled at the concept's advanced infotainment system that caters a range of personal preferences according to who's on board. "It's easy to see how this could even reach for chauffeured, or autonomously driven vehicles" in the future, we said at the time. And it turns out Audi was on the same page. At CES this year, Audi has brought back the Prologue concept, given it a darker coat of grey paint, a grey-tone interior (instead of the previous shades of brown and tan), a fresh set of wheels and equipped it with the autonomous tech the German automaker has been at the forefront of developing. Though other automakers have been fitting their self-driving prototypes with all-electric powertrains, Audi kept the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 in place – but fitted it with a hybrid assist to drive output up from an already prodigious 605 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque to an even more impressive 677 hp and 701 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time down to 3.5 seconds. Now that's the kind of "piloted driving" tech (as Audi calls it) that we can get behind.
