2000 Audi S4 Imola Yellow W/black,,6 Sp. Super Low Mi (under 7500) Salvage Title on 2040-cars
Elkridge, Maryland, United States
|
In 2000 or '01 with +- 4500 miles the car was damaged in the rear and driver's side. It was sent to a body shop for estimate and the body shop totaled the car. The bod shop owner recognized it was all sheet metal damage and bought the salvage intending to repair it for himself. It sat in the back of his shop for a decade under a tarp. A couple years ago, the shop owner was preparing to retire and offered to repair the car for my cousin's husband (himself a mechanic). There was a list of finishing details left to do, but the car was through state inspection, titled, and on the road. My cousin drove it on occasion for a couple years, but usually opted for her SUV - she lives in the mountains and 20 miles of dirt and gravel roads daily would do the car no good. Now she's moving, and doesn't want to deal with the car ... so she sent it to me to keep or sell for her. I've been working on the car a bit at a time, but as the song goes, this car needs a younger man. I have yet to fix the horn (inop), the ck engine light (OBD says intake leaks), and the airbag light ( OBD says 1 impact sensor open). That will get it through Md state inspection. It runs and tracks like new, because it is new. The Driver's door doesn't shut quite right and has a slightly uneven gap in the middle. The shop inspection noted that used rear sub frame, R diff, and r axles are fitted and the R sub frame bolts are tweaked.
Here's a walk around in annoying detail:
Ft bumper clear coat peeling @ top center Plastic tab from front edge of outside hood release missing No ft tag bracket installed (I have new bracket - no holes in ft fillet) Headlight washers inop No ft L fender liner installed Spots of clearcoat peeled from driver’s ft fender top Driver's door operates fine, no air or water leaks, but paint flaked from top hinge in the door jamb and slight uneven door gap. Spots of clearcoat peeled from driver’s door guard molding Paint flaked from driver's rear door hinge in the door jamb. Door operates perfectly. Small crease/dent on driver's C pillar Spots of peeled clear coat on top of the trunk lid Shop inspection noted R sub frame, rear diff, and r axles are older than the rest of the car (r sub frame bolts mis aligned) Crack in paint on rt r bumper cover Clunking noise from rt ft Plastic underbody panels missing, bottom of rockers unsecured AND THE INTERIOR: Info display in cluster faded Ck engine light on (OBD diagnosed as intake leaks both banks) Air bag light on (OBD diagnosed as open to 1 impact sensor) Slight ding on steering wheel badge Horn inop Ft seats are older than the car, great condition, odd finish on seat surfaces Driver's door inner latch has slack Tie down eyes missing from rear of trunk floor 16” steel rim and usable, but worn out tire for spare Little storage box missing from pass inner trunk wall Lock pump runs excessively long, right rear door and trunk do not lock/unlock with power locks Gas odor in trunk if tank is filled / overfilled Back edge of package shelf mis-aligned Rear window has annoying tint Pass rear shelf speaker fuzzy (I have a spare correct speaker) Pass rear door spkr grill broken, speaker fuzzy, ( I have a whole spare door panel w/bose spkr grill and also separately another correct speaker) Original stereo sounds fuzzy (even at very low volume, both radio and CD) only when it's cold ??? clears up when it's warm (cowl drains are clear, possible issue with amp??? you got me) No radio reception AM or FM (antenna booster?)
UNDER THE HOOD: Rear covers missing from both headlamps (I have new replacements) PLUSSES: Runs perfectly, starts normally timing belt inspected and confirmed healthy Brand new Conti DWS 18" Tires 18" Audi accessory BBS's (RC’s?) has not been performance chipped or abused - absolutely stock engine and, oh yeah, UNDER 7500 ORIGINAL MILES !
The car needs some TLC but looks good, runs perfectly, tracks straight, and
for the right person has near show car potential. At this moment it has about
7600 - HUNDRED, not thousand - original miles. It must be the lowest mileage
B5 S4 in the country if not anywhere. The vehicle check program on e bay throws
a red flag for the salvage title. The title history shows it was delivered in I haven’t sold a car on ebay so I’m winging this. I’ve listed everything I know about the car. It is being sold as is without any warranty. I have the signed clear title in my possession. The sale is final. I ask a $250.00 non refundable deposit within 48 hours of close. Balance within 7 days of close. You are welcome to inspect the vehicle before purchase. Once the deal is done, the tags come off the car and it will be under cover awaiting you. If you have any questions or require other accomodations contact me, we’ll work it out.

2014 Audi S3 Cabriolet
Tue, 01 Apr 2014Drivers 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.
VW Group plan puts Porsche in charge of a 'super-premium' division
Tue, Sep 11 2018An Automobile report looks into what's happening on the organizational and technical sides of the Volkswagen Group, and what those changes could mean for the premium brands. The wide-angle view is that Porsche appears to have been anointed to "coordinate the future activities" at Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini. Audi would cede Lamborghini guardianship to Stuttgart, and Ducati — via a new concern called Ducati Enterprises — would become the shepherd for VW's other Italian investments. Executives target Jan. 1, 2019, to complete the reshuffle. VW wants to save a boodle by tying up four of its five top-tier brands, and putting the one with the highest ROI in charge. Porsche, within its own house, wants to reduce expenditures by $2.3 billion per year over for four years, the savings already earmarked for improving internal processes like R&D and production. Having Porsche share those gains as well as lead development of platforms, components and future-tech strategies for the sister sports car brands could benefit everyone. In the near-term, the brands have their own plans: Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann is said to want a Chiron Superleggera, a roofless and "completely reskinned" Chiron Aperta, and a track-only Chiron SS. The Superleggera could take the Chiron Sport's and Divo's Jenny Craig routines even further. The Aperta seems a natural successor to the Veyron Grand Sport, a natural evolution of the recently introduced Sky View roof, and a reskin might include numerous Divo cues. It's also said Bugatti's considering "an all-electric high-end model" in conjunction with Porsche, Rimac, and Dallara, but name one supercar or hypercar manufacturer that isn't considering a lightning-fast EV. Lamborghini, deep into work on follow-ups for the Huracan and Aventador, might get a bit of a bump with the new plan. The carbon "monofuselage" for the next V12 flagship is said to be too far developed and too complex to scrap. It puts two electric motors on the front axle, batteries in the middle, and a naturally aspirated V12 with around 770 horsepower plus another e-motor with 402 horsepower in back. The Huracan is said to get a version of the same carbon architecture at the moment, but the corporate reorganization might press pause on it. Automobile says options include continuing the Huracan/ Audi R8 twinning, but that depends on Audi saying "Ja" to a third-gen R8 with Lamborghini bones.
Witness the Prologue to Audi's design future [w/videos]
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Audi went Hollywood for its debut of the forward-looking Prologue concept car last night, pulling the silks back at a sprawling LA manse in the hills. The cost-no-object unveiling of the car, as well as its prominent positioning at this year's LA Auto Show, speaks to the importance with which the company views the styling you see here.
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, maharishi of development for the three-rings brand, made two important announcements at the presentation: reiterating publicly his endorsement of new styling chief Marc Lichte, and telling us that Prologue design will be found on upcoming production versions of the A6, A7 and A8.
Take a close look at that imposing face on the Prologue - an amped up revision of the single-frame shield grille that has appeared on new models like the TT already - and get used to it. Lichte called out the grille as the new face of the brand, so we fully expect its deployment across the range as the 2016 models roll out.
