Shipping and payment:  Cash or Cashier's Check.  Buyer to arrange for pick-up/delivery.  Vehicle located in Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, two hours from DC or Richmond; six hours from NYC.

History: Bought vehicle from a dealer in northern Virginia in September 2009, with 35K miles.  One prior owner.  Had it ever since (5+ years).  Even though it is an AWD Quattro, it never has been out in snow or ice.  One minor accident involving front passenger fender area.  Repairs made.  Always has been garage stored.  Two things to know about the history:  (1) History shows frame/unibody damage - prior to my purchase.  In fact, the report of the damage was not made till five months after my purchase.  Inspection I commissioned indicated that the damage was fully repaired - and, there have been no issues with this during my ownership.  (2) History shows two odometer issues - on AutoCheck, not CarFax.  One before I purchased vehicle and one recently.  The first is clearly a clerical error - mileage was 34,549 in Aug 2009 and then reported at 39,549 in Sept 2009 - the 4 clearly was misread as a 9.  Then, I purchased it at 35K and that made things look like a rollback.  Since this would be a crime, AutoCheck should have pursued the matter with law enforcement authorities or confirmed the accuracy of the Sept 2009 report; it did neither.  The car was on a lot and did not likely get driven exactly 5,000 miles in 30 days on a lot.  Common sense....  The second shows mileage at 129K, but I have complete records from date of purchase through today that shows mileage.  It's at 76,725 as of this afternoon and five more miles to get home.  76,730 right now in my garage.  Someone entered mileage from another car, not this one.  So, what all this means is that the history shows these situations and this has a severe impact on the value for trade with a dealer.  But, these things do not affect the quality of this vehicle.  The price reflects a deep discount (of $5,000+) due to all this.

Features:  Just about as fully equipped as this model could be in 2005.  Premium Package.  

Condition:  The vehicle body is in very good condition.  The paint is still shines like new but there are a few areas where it's flaked. Some road chip mark in front.  Minor paint issues.  The interior is in excellent condition.  Engine is in excellent shape.  Exhaust system excellent. Pipes are excellent.   Needs a new airbag sensor for passenger seat.  $300.  Price also reflects this expense.  With that, you would have a car that still turns heads.  Will send you photos if you're seriously interested.  And, will answer any questions you have.

Without the history issues and the airbag sensor replacement needed, this vehicle merits a pricing at $16,500 - $17,000.   To make it attractive to someone who would love to enjoy this car, I am discounting it $6,000+ for the history issues and $500 for the airbag sensor replacement.   The price is $10,500.  Won't find one like it for that.

Shuffle at Lamborghini sends CEO to Quattro GmbH

Tue, Feb 23 2016

A management shakeup in Volkswagen Group's high-performance divisions will make Stephan Winkelmann (above) the new chief executive of Audi's Quattro GmbH on March 15. On the same day, former Scuderia Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will replace Winkelmann as Lambo's boss. These changes are necessary because current Quattro chief Heinz Hollerweger is retiring. Rumors of these exact shifts cropped up in Italian media in December. Winkelmann began leading Lamborghini in 2005, and he has been at the helm for massive growth at the company. In 2015, the Italian supercar maker delivered a record 3,245 vehicles, and it had just set its previous best of 2,530 units in 2014. His new role at Quattro GmbH puts Winkelmann in charge of Audi's equivalent to M at BMW or AMG at Mercedes-Benz. The division is responsible for the Four Rings' R and RS production models, the Audi Sport customer racing program, and Audi Exclusive customization service. "In the future, the Audi Sport brand is to be positioned more clearly," the company's announcement said, which hints at one of Winkelmann's duties. Domenicali has been closely associated with Lamborghini rival Ferrari during his career and had years of experience within the automaker's racing team. He started in financing at the Prancing Horse in 1991 and moved to business planning for the Scuderia Ferrari F1 squad in 1993. He held many positions there and eventually ascended to the top as team principal in 2008. Domenicali resigned from leadership in 2014 because of the team's poor performance, but Audi quickly snapped him up as its as Vice President New Business. He now gets the reins of one of Italy's premiere supercar makers. Related Video: Stephan Winkelmann to be new CEO of quattro GmbH As of March 15, 2016, Stephan Winkelmann (51) will be the new CEO of quattro GmbH, a 100 percent subsidiary of AUDI AG, which produces and distributes the high performance R and RS models. Winkelmann was President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. since January 1, 2005. Heinz Hollerweger (62), the current Head of quattro GmbH, is to retire after almost 40 years of successful work for Audi. "With his experience from more than eleven years in charge of Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann will be a key contributor to the further growth of quattro GmbH," says Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG.

Audi to use this telepresence robot to fix cars

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Next time you take your Audi in for service, watch to see if a little white stand is following your mechanic around. It's not some new measurement tool for your car; it's a actually a robot being controlled remotely to improve vehicle service. While bots playing a role in building cars is nothing new, the company is taking things a step further in the US by introducing Audi Robotic Telepresence to assist dealer technicians in repairing the brand's vehicles. The droids are already being used in a pilot program at about 18 dealers nationwide with plans to have it at 100 in the near future.
At the moment, ART, as its called, is more R2-D2 than The Terminator. It certainly won't be doing any wrenching on your A4 anytime soon because it doesn't even have arms. Instead, the robot comprises a remote-controlled stand with multiple cameras, a microphone and speakers. The bot is operated remotely by Audi Technical Assistance consultants and Technical Field Managers who can talk back-and-forth with mechanics about vehicle service and help to remotely diagnose problems. The droid is even equipped with a handheld camera and borescope to reach into tiny crevices.
Audi claims that ART is the first system of its kind to directly link automakers with technicians at the dealer level in this way and leads to faster, more accurate service for customers. Scroll down to watch a video of the bot in action and read the release for the current list of participating dealers.

Audi, Toyota land on MIT's list of 50 Most Disruptive Companies

Sat, 23 Feb 2013

MIT Technology Review, a magazine all about innovation, has announced its list of the 50 most disruptive companies in 2013, and both Audi and Toyota made the cut. While the term "most disruptive" may carry a negative connotation in most uses (especially in the classroom), the acknowledgement in this case is an accolade, signifying that the company is at the forefront of its industry. In a nutshell, a disruptive company is a business whose innovations force other businesses to alter their strategic direction.
Audi made the list for "pushing autonomous cars closer to fruition with a laser-scanning road detector that fits in a vehicle's front grille," and Toyota for "expanding its dominance of the hybrid-car market with its new plug-in version of the Prius." Click on the image above to be taken to the original graphic at MIT Technology Review, where clickable colored squares reveal information about each of the 50 winners, compiled from a variety of industries.
