I bought this car last year from a friend in the military who went overseas. Car had some issues, which I have since cured. I intended to keep this as a daily driver, and thus have spent over $5K to get it up to the great shape it's in (my mechanic thought I was crazy). I then just inherited a newer car and have no room to keep this. So whoever gets thsi will benefit from my loss, since there I spent more on getting it in tip-top shape than the car is worth! 

Here is a summary of what has been done (by professional shop that specializes in European cars...can give contact info in case you want to speak to the mechanic/shop about this car):
  • Coolant hose leaked – wouldn’t hold coolant long – was replaced and coolant flushed/refilled,
  • Heater core leaked – heater didn’t work during winter months – had it repaired so that it works perfectly,
  • Brakes pulsed – had four new rotors and pads installed (approx a month ago)
  • A/C wasn’t working – had it checked and repaired (same time as brake job) - so that it’s blowing cold
  • Tires are approx at 80% life and have no issues
Cosmetically, it looks sharp, with some dings and chips as you would expect for the age. I also took a close up picture of the worst, which is the front bumper, drivers side close to the grill: the previous owner had a parking lot scrape and decided to touch it up with paint that didn’t quite match. Easy fix that I just haven’t bothered to do. All electronics except for cruise control work: radio, cassette, 10-disc CD changer, heated seats, power windows, seats, locks, etc. (asked my mechanic to check the cruise control, but they suggested leaving it be if I didn’t need it because they said it could be costly…I agreed and had it as a do it yourself project that I haven’t gotten around to). 

The car drives like new, stops quickly and is overall in excellent shape. Don’t hesitate to call if you have additional questions or would like to inspect the car. 

CAR IS LISTED LOCALLY TOO, SO SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CANCEL AUCTION AT ANY TIME.  
PLEASE BID ONLY IF YOU ARE PREPARED TO PURCHASE!

Forza 5 documents bringing Audi R18 E-Tron and Le Mans to game

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Forza Motorsport 5 is set to come out on November 22 alongside the all-new Xbox One. As part of the launch lineup for a big new system, it shouldn't be a shock that Turn 10 Studios, the maker of the Forza series is going all out in promoting its new game. That's meant making interesting partnerships, like the one it enjoys with Top Gear.
Perhaps a less talked about alliance is between Audi and Turn 10. It's put on full display here, though, as Turn 10 documents the process of building Forza Motorsport 5 alongside Audi's quest at Le Mans, with both sides talking about what it takes to make a game and racing team work (they aren't as different as you might think).
There's also quite a bit of Le Mans and Audi-specific content coming with FM5. As with previous iterations of Forza Motorsport, gamers will have access to both the old and new Circuit de la Sarthe (the most notable difference between the two being the presence of Chicanes on the Mulsanne Straight). Audi will also be volunteering several of its vehicles for the new title, ranging from racers like the R18 e-tron Quattro and Audi Sport R8 to production rockets like the 2013 R8 V10 plus, 2006 RS4 and the 1983 Sport Quattro.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

Automakers teaming with Google to bring Android to cars this year

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Remember how we mentioned that Hyundai would be offering a BlueLink infotainment app for Google Glass? And how last week, we told you about a rumored partnership between Audi and Google? Well, both of these things were just part of a much bigger deal.
Google has teamed up with Audi, General Motors, Hyundai and Honda to form the Open Automotive Alliance. With the help of chipmaker NVIDIA, the group aims to bring Google's Android operating system to the auto industry on a large scale. While the speed with which Android will be adopted by the industry remains unclear - the OAA's own press release says "timing for each automaker will vary" - we could see the first Android-equipped vehicle by year's end.
For those that keep their ear to the ground in the automotive tech world, this is a big deal for more than just one reason - Honda, GM and Hyundai are all partners in the Siri Eyes Free program from Apple. The future of that relationship now that three of its automakers are in bed with Apple's arch-rival, though, could be under threat.
