I am selling my beloved Audi Allroad. I love this car. I live in Mammoth Lakes, CA. This has been my "snow car" for 6 years now. I purchased it in 2007. After doing much research, I watched a video from Germany, where all the manufacturers raced their vehicles up a steep ski run. The Allroad was the only vehicle to make it to the top. I was sold on it. It hasn't disappointed.
I got a great deal on a Subaru Outback last July, and haven't been driving the Allroad much lately. I also have a truck. We simply don't need 3 vehicles, and I'm sick of paying the insurance and registration, so the Audi must go. Condition: Trying to be objective, I think this car is in pretty good shape for a 10-year old car with 90k miles on it. I've always changed the oil every 3k miles and done the routine maintenance. I stick the maintenance records in the glove box. Might need a new air filter soon. I might have a spare one lying around. If I do, I'll throw it in. I also have two sets of floor mats (all-weather and regular). I'll include both. Again, it has been in a snow town, so there are scratches and normal wear and tear all over. The pics show a dirty car, as it just snowed. A couple years ago, a snow removal vehicle hit my rear driver side door. It was replaced under insurance and has worked perfectly ever since. My wife was rear-ended at a red light by a drunk driver. We didn't fix it, as it didn't effect the integrity of the car. The car is a tank (you should see the damage to the drunk driver's car). Anyway, the damage is clear in the photos. Other than that, the leather is in good shape. The wood trim is in good shape. Some peeling has occured on the radio portion of the dashboard, and the veneer on the dash-mounted cup holder came off. There is a very minor oil leak, that we've had since we purchased the car. The Audi dealer says it's very normal in turbo-charged cars, at the seals. I've never had to add oil or anything. Never been an issue. Just wanted to mention it, because oil is noticeable on the skid plate when it's removed to change the oil. There is some grime/film over the headlights, but the auto-levelling xenon lights still work great. CD changer works great, Bose stereo is awesome. Heated seats are magical. Car has a lot of power. Twin Turbo kicks ass. The snow tires on the car right now still have a decent amount of tread left. The brakes are great, tons of stopping power. I have two keys for the car. The remote lock/unlock feature isn't working on the keys. The batteries died and need to be replaced. They might need to be re-programmed (there's some specific instructions on how to do it on the web or at the dealer) - I just put the key in the door to lock/unlock old school style. Only problems we've ever had have been electrical. Our local german mechanic has plugged in the diagnostics and re-set, and voila, back to good. The winshield wiper fluid reservoir has a leak - so the "low wiper fluid" light is constantly on because we don't even deal with it. We've also had the Tire Pressure Sensor be touchy at times. Sometimes that light goes on, even with tire pressure is perfect (we've never had the tires lose air at all). There are two cracks in the windshield (as is common in snow towns from the expanding/contracting from temp changes). You might wanna put a new windshield on, but we've just let it linger for a couple years. Also, the gas shocks in the trunk are shot. They cost about $65 to replace. I'm lazy to do it, because I rarely drive this car anymore, but you'll want to replace those. Otherwise, you've got to hold the trunk up by hand, and it's heavier than you think! You can check out a zillion websites for features, etc. All I've gotta say is, for the price I'm asking, this car is an absolute steal. History: I purchased it for $22,000 in 2007 with 36.5k miles on it. I bought it from a doctor in Boise, ID. He needed a mini-van for kids, and the car was in immaculate shape. I flew out to Idaho to buy it. I wanted the navy blue color and it's pretty rare. I Had it inspected by the local audi dealer, and they told me it was the cleanest Allroad they'd seen. Please, please, please, email me with any questions, or request more photos - I want to be completely forthcoming, and am not trying to hide anything. Free pickup in Mammoth Lakes, CA - or I will drive it down to Los Angeles area for $300. I'm also open to other delivery options, let me know if you're interested and let's see what we can work out. Thanks!! |

VW may move production because of Russia's cutoff of natural gas
Sun, Sep 25 2022Volkswagen AG is exploring ways to counter a shortage in natural gas, including shifting production around its network of global facilities, signaling how the energy crisis unleashed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens to upend EuropeÂ’s industrial landscape. Volkswagen, EuropeÂ’s biggest carmaker, said Thursday that reallocating some of its production was one of the options available in the medium term if gas shortages last much beyond this winter. The company has major factories in Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which are among European countries most reliant on Russian gas, as well as facilities in southern Europe that source energy from elsewhere. “As mid-term alternatives, we are focusing on greater localization, relocation of manufacturing capacity, or technical alternatives, similar to what is already common practice in the context of challenges related to semiconductor shortages and other recent supply chain disruptions,” Geng Wu, VolkswagenÂ’s head of purchasing, said in a statement. RussiaÂ’s decision to throttle gas supplies to Europe has raised concerns that Germany might be forced to ration its fuel. Recent news that gas storage levels hit 90% ahead of schedule has soothed fears of acute shortages this winter, but Germany faces a challenge in replenishing depleted reserves next summer without contributions from Russia. Southwestern Europe or coastal zones of northern Europe, both of which have better access to seaborne liquefied natural gas cargoes, could be the beneficiaries of any production shift, a Volkswagen spokesman said by phone. The Volkswagen group already operates car factories in Portugal, Spain and Belgium, countries that host LNG terminals. Labor hurdles To be sure, any major production shift away from EuropeÂ’s biggest economy would face significant hurdles. VW has some 295,000 employees in Germany and worker representatives account for around half the companyÂ’s 20-member supervisory board. Any shift in production would likely involve a limited number of vehicles rather than wholesale factory shutdowns. While gas supplies for VWÂ’s plants are currently secured, the company has identified potential savings at its European sites to cut gas consumption by a “mid-double-digit percentage,” said Michael Heinemann, managing director of VWÂ’s power-plant unit. Still, the carmaker said it was concerned about the effect high gas prices could have on its suppliers.

Everybody's doing flying cars, so why aren't we soaring over traffic already?
Mon, Oct 1 2018"Where's my flying car?" has been the meme for impending technology that never materializes since before there were memes. And the trough of disillusionment for vehicles that can take to sky continues to nosedive, despite a nonstop fascination with flying cars and a recent rash of announcements about the technology, particularly from traditional automakers. Earlier this month, Toyota applied for an eye-popping patent for a flying car that has wheels with spring-loaded pop-out helicopter rotors. The patent filing says the wheels/rotors would be electrically powered, while in on-land mode the vehicle would have differential steering like tracked vehicles such as tanks and bulldozers. At an airshow in July, Aston Martin unveiled its Volante Vision Concept, an autonomous hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle it developed with Rolls-Royce. Aston says the Volante can fly at top speeds of around 200 mph and bills it as a luxury car for the skies. Audi used the Geneva Motor Show in March to unveil a flying car concept called the Pop.Up Next it developed with Airbus and Italdesign. If the Pop.Up Next, an electric and autonomous quadcopter/city car combo, gets stuck in traffic, an app can be used to summon an Airbus-developed drone to pick up the passenger compartment pod, leaving the chassis behind. Audi said that the Pop.Up Next is a "flexible on-demand concept that could open up mobility in the third dimension to people in cities." But Audi also acknowledged that at this point it has no plans to develop it. The cash-stoked, skies-the-limit Silicon Valley tech crowd is also bullish on flying cars. The startup Kitty Hawk that's backed by Google co-founder Larry Page announced in June that it's taking pre-orders for its single-seat electric Flyer that's powered by 10 propellers and is capable of vertical takeoffs and landings. The current version can only fly up to 20 mph and 10 feet in the air and has a flight time of just 12 to 20 minutes on a full charge. The Flyer is considered a recreational vehicle, so doesn't require a pilot's license. Uber says it plans to launch its more ambitious Elevate program and UberAIR service in 2023. "Uber customers will be able to push a button and get a flight on-demand with uberAIR in Dallas, Los Angeles and a third international market," Uber Elevate promises on its website.
