2010 Audi Q7 Prestige S Line on 2040-cars
Poway, California, United States
For sale by meticulous owner. This Q7 is impossible to appreciate in these pictures. Loaded with nearly all of the factory options. Original MSRP = $69,475Nearly flawless exterior and interior...no dings and a few very minor blemishes that would only be noticeable upon detailed examination by a very critical eye. All 4 Michelin Latitude Sport tires have 5,000 miles on them.2 curbside wheels just refinished at Audi dealership on Friday (10/14) to bring them to as new condition. The other two wheels are in great shape and I would rate a 9 out of 10 or better. Extremely well cared for and appreciated vehicle- I love to wash and wax it regularly myself and has been garage kept most of the time. This Q7 has spent its entire life in Los Angeles- has never seen snow and has hardly been exposed to rain. Religious maintenance performed on an accelerated schedule at Audi Dealer. 2010-2015 models are almost indistinguishable from each other. No issues. Needs nothing. I am happy to send any additional pictures or videos upon request or answer any questions over the phone. I have bought or sold a 4 different vehicles on eBay over the last 13 years and enjoy the process of selling private-party much more than trading-in to the dealer. I am selling it with no reserve because I am confident the market will bear an appropriate price for this outstanding vehicle. Purchased as the second owner 7/13 as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from the Audi dealership. Low mileage per year vehicle- had 23.9K miles when I purchased it and now has 55.6K miles. Original owner purchased the pre-paid maintenance plan up to 50K miles (transferrable to me) and being under extended certified pre-owned warranty from Audi, there has never been any hesitation to have any scheduled or unscheduled maintenance and repairs performed. Orca Black Metallic Exterior (looks amazing in the sun) Black interior (Luxury Package upgrade includes Cricket leather seats and Alcantara headliner) 6-speed auto tiptronic transmission (with paddle shifters) 3.0 liter V6 Turbo Diesel engine - 225 HP and 406 ft. lbs. of torque. Super fun to drive with a massive amount of torque yet easily achieves MPGs in the mid to high 20s on highway drives. The drivetrain is smooth as can be and feels bulletproof as if it will run for many more miles than it currently has. Im sure most everyone has heard about the diesel scandal that Volkswagen is facing, but the 3.0L vehicles such as this have a completely different system for emissions reduction (urea) than the 2.0L vehicles and doubt still remains whether there is really an issue with the 3.0L vehicles. Nonetheless, from what I have read, Volkswagen has submitted their proposed resolution for the 3.0 liters to the EPA for approval which is a software update and is a completely different situation than the more complex hardware fixes that will most likely be required for the 2.0L cars. My personal experience thus far leads me to believe that Audi will continue to take extraordinary measures to create goodwill with owners as this carries out because the future of its brand is at stake with how they navigate this.

Audi wiring cars with cameras to see how ferret-like creatures tear them apart
Thu, 06 Nov 2014In this German-language video, we see a batch of Audi engineers wiring up an A3 Cabriolet with a network of small cameras. The goal? To help identify where and how stone martens - small, ferret-like animals - attack cars. The idea is to observe the animals' behavior around the vehicles, see where they go, what they chew on, and work to develop solutions.
So why go to all this trouble? Cars and trucks are easily the single-most complex consumer good, and they're subject to the widest variety of conditions, regulations and usage cases that one could possibly imagine. They also come with very high consumer expectations for reliability. Thus, it's up to automakers to vet their vehicles for just about every possible scenario and threat - including weasels. And if that means Audi has to go hire Walter Simbeck, animal trainer to the stars, and string up a bunch of GoPros on an A3, well, they're game.
In speaking with Autoblog, Mark Dahncke, senior product manager at Audi of America said it best:
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.
