2002 Audi S6 Avant Wagon 4.2l V8 on 2040-cars
Wilton, Connecticut, United States
|
We're the original owners of this 2002 Audi S6 Avant. I purchased this car for my wife the year our daughter was born and it's been her kid transporter for the past 12 years. The only notable event in the car's history was a minor accident (doesn't even show up on Autocheck) several years ago where the passenger front quarter panel was damaged (no other damage). It was cosmetic only and the panel was replaced with an OEM aluminum front quarter panel by a top quality shop and you'd never know it happened. The car has never been smoked in and has never been driven hard or modified in any way.
The vehicle exterior is in pretty good shape considering it's age, the exception being the driver front quarter panel where someone left a nice dent in a parking lot (please see pic)... a paint-less dent repair person could probably improve the look quite a bit since the paint isn't chipped or cracked. There are some scratches on the rear bumper (inevitable in all the school parking lots) and a couple of minor door dings. I tried to capture the flaws in pics as best I could. This S6 has been garaged all its life so the paint looks great. The interior shows very typical wear on the rubber surfaces (around the headlight switch and the hvac buttons) but everything works as it should including heated seats, 6-disc cd changer, a/c, power seats, sunroof, power windows, central locks, etc. with the only exception being the navigation (one of the kids stepped on the controller when they were smaller)... it could be fixed quite easily by replacing the console controller but it's such an archaic system my wife didn't use it anyway (still have all the navigation discs though). The leather is in very good condition with no rips or tears or excessive wear (treated regularly with a good quality conditioner). Mechanically the car is in excellent condition. All service has been done at Danbury Audi for the past 7 years or so since we moved to CT and no expense was spared. All 4 rotors and pads were replaced (as well as some suspension bushings) within the past year and the radiator was replaced a few months ago due to a slow leak. Other items that have been replaced recently due to age include the oil cooler and pipe, the coolant expansion tank, turn signal stalk, engine air filter, cabin pollen filter, coolant temperature sensor and thermostat. Major service was done on time (belts/water pump). Continental tires have good tread remaining. New battery last fall. Engine is strong and transmission shifts as smoothly as it did 12 years ago. Includes both keys and original books and even the window sticker. Happy to send specific high res pics on request. |

Justin Bell laps Willow Springs... in the dark... using only night vision
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Night vision has made its way into quite a few luxury cars as a night-driving safety feature, but eBay Motors wanted to see if the technology could be used to actually drive the car. Former racer and World's Faster Car Show host Justin Bell grabbed the keys to an Audi A7 and headed to Willow Springs Raceway to find out.
As if driving in the dark of the desert night wasn't hard enough, the car's windshield and side windows were blacked out, so Bell's driving relied completely on the three-inch night vision display located in the gauge cluster. In addition to navigating the track, his producers also threw in a few surprises for Bell on the track. We don't want to spoil too much for you, but based on the speeds exhibited in the video, we don't think 24-hour endurance races will be adding this tech any time soon; that being said, he probably drove the car faster and better than we could have.
Scroll down to watch how Bell does lapping the track using only the car's night vision.
2015 Audi A3
Mon, 10 Mar 2014The five-door Audi A3 hatchback, on sale in the States since the 2006 model year, never earned the respect it deserved. Despite possessing the automaker's well-regarded build quality and a range of strong powerplants (including an excellent diesel option), the entry-level model always played second fiddle to the rest of the Audi lineup, suffering from less innovative technologies and fewer premium options on its list. Many buyers considered it inferior to the rest of the models in the company's showroom. But those misconceptions could be about to change, as Audi is in the midst of introducing its third-generation A3 family to the States with expectations that the range will finally align with the rest of its portfolio.
First to arrive is this new sedan, notable as it is the first time the A3 has been offered as a compact four door. The new bodystyle is positioned as a premium C-segment offering, with its most obvious competitor being the new Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class (BMW has not officially announced a 2 Series Gran Coupe, which would be the third entrant in the segment). The automaker says its "A3/S3 models will be among the most technically advanced Audi products around" and there will be "no sacrificing Audi craftsmanship and premium appointments." To put the automaker's claims to the test, we spent a week with this new sedan in Southern California.
Audi spending an additional $2.5 billion on expansion through 2019
Thu, Jan 1 2015Every year, it seems the Volkswagen Group announces a new and larger spend to push growth and profit, with Audi a regular recipient of the moolah. That's reasonable, seeing as hauls in 40 percent of Group operating profits. In December last year Audi said it would spend an additional 100 million euros ($122M US) per year through 2018 to develop new models and expand production, targeting 60 models by 2020 and luxury sales leadership. This month Audi said it will boost that by another two billion euros ($2.5B US) over the next five years, for a total outlay of 24 billion euros from 2014 to 2019. Something like 70 percent of those billions will be spent on new models, technology like "connectivity and lightweight construction," and factory expansion at its plants in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Most of the ten models that will plump the lineup to 60 cars will mainly be aimed at the C and D segments, as well as crossovers, the brand's burgeoning portfolio of PHEV models, and all-electric cars that will begin staking ground in the segment. The big spend comes at the same time as Audi is working hard to reduce costs by $2.5 billion to maintain profitability, part of a larger push by VW to cut costs by $6.1 billion by 2017. More than a billion euros will go to new factories in Mexico and Brazil. Work begins on the Mexico plant next year, and when it comes on-line in 2016, Audi's Q5 successor will roll out of its warehouse doors; Audi has already announced it will hire 850 more workers next year in Mexico. When that's done, Mexico's production of German luxury cars will only trail that of Germany, China and the US. The company's Brazil plant will produce the A3 and S3 starting next year, and the brand figures luxury car buying there will triple by 2017.
