2002 Audi S6 Avant Wagon 4-door 4.2l Clean on 2040-cars
East Amherst, New York, United States
Selling my Used 2002 Audi S6 Avant 4.2L
This car is Extremely well maintained. I am selling this car primarily because I purchased an A3 TDI for better gas mileage. This car is wicked fast and handles like a 2 door coupe sports car. The S6 truly is the perfect car for someone who wants space and sport. The car has had over $5000 in maintenance, repairs and upgrades in the past two years. If I had to rate the car I would say the exterior is a 7.5/interior a 9 Here are some of the repairs: *New transmission 200 miles ago. *New front brakes and rotors *Valve cover gaskets were replaced last fall *All oil sensors were replaced and new gaskets were installed. *Exhaust manifold gaskets were replaced. *Power steering was flushed and new washers and gaskets were installed (almost a rebuild) *19" gunmetal grey wheels were installed and brand new performance tires were mounted this spring. *CV Boots were done *Coolant flush done last fall *Timing belt and water pump were done at around 87,000 miles I know I am missing something but those are the main ones. I have the receipts for every repair done. Here is the story of what this car is: The Audi S6 boasts a very strong 4.2-liter, 340-hp V8 engine, a performance-tuned version of the one that sat in the Audi A8. But not a lot of aftermarket performance parts were made for the S6 due to it being a relatively rare car. There were only about 900 sent over to the U.S. and it was only in production for 2002 and 2003, so the second generation Audi S6 is somewhat unique and rare on the road, adding to its stylish cache. Although after its initial demise in 2003, the third generation S6 has made a come back in 2007. The second generation S6 only came as a wagon, meaning it offered the space, cargo capacity, and practicality of a family car, the confident road grip of quattro, plus the sports car-like handling of a flashier racer....its a low key rocket. With a power-to-weight ratio of 184.57 bhp/ton, this 4000lb wagon does 0-62mph in about 6 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited 155 mph, some have said given enough road the car could reach the better side of 180mph. It features all of the interior amenities Audi prides itself on offering, as well as sporty touches in its distinct grille, dual exhaust pipes, and brushed aluminum mirror moldings. The negative of this car: *small rust bubbles on rear hatch below the window (very easy fix as it is just bubbles *exterior paint has minor scratches. They are not bad and expected for the year of the car. *minor paint chip on rear bumper that is only visible when close up Specifications

Recharge Wrap-up: Atieva making EV with former Tesla talent, Holland lowers PHEV incentives
Wed, May 13 2015A reduction of tax incentives on company cars in Holland is expected to put the brakes on plug-in hybrid sales. Cars are taxed at an average of 25 percent, with plug-in hybrids taxed at just seven or 14 percent, depending on emissions. Taxes on PHEV company cars will increase to 14 and 21 percent. With company car leases making up a third of vehicle sales in 2014, the uptake on PHEVs "will likely go back to regular volumes," according to Volvo's Christiaan Krouwel. It could be a boon for battery electric cars, as their tax rate will remain at four percent for company cars. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Ford is testing cylinder deactivation in its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. On-road prototype testing has shown improvements in fuel economy of as much as six percent. Ford engineers developed a system using a new dual mass flywheel, pendulum absorber, and tuned clutch disc to allow cylinder deactivation under a wider range of speed and engine loads with less NVH. "The highest priority in the development of new combustion engines for automotive applications is the ongoing reduction of fuel consumption," says Ford's Andreas Schamel, presenting Ford's findings to the Vienna Motor Symposium. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release from Ford. Atieva is building an EV with the help of numerous former Tesla employees. The Silicon Valley-based startup was founded in 2007 by a former Tesla vice president, and its roster includes 12 other former Tesla employees. Already well funded, Atieva is now looking to fill its ranks with more talent, with 32 engineering positions, two recruiter positions and other job openings posted at its website. As for the EV it is working on, Atieva says it is "redefining what a car can be, by building an iconic new vehicle from the ground up." Read more at Charged EVs. Testing shows that Joule ethanol, made from recycled CO2, meets standards for use in the US and Europe. In partnership with Audi, Joule has been working toward making its recycled CO2 fuels ready for commercialization. "We are pleased to achieve another critical step towards our planned near-term delivery of fuel-grade ethanol from recycled CO2," says Joule President and CEO Serge Tchuruk. "Using waste CO2 as a feedstock, our technology has the two-fold advantage of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing cost-competitive, drop-in fuels." Joule will use these test results to get government approval for the use of its ethanol in highway fuel.
Refreshed 2016 Audi Q3 starts at $34,625
Fri, Jun 5 2015The Audi Q3 only arrived in the US for the 2015 model year, and for 2016 the compact luxury crossover is already getting a new front end, plus a bump in price to go with the facelift. The cost for the base Premium Plus trim with front-wheel drive is now $34,625, which includes the $925-destination charge on all models. That's $1,200 more than last year. For the extra money, customers get a resculpted front end that features harder angles in the chrome shield that outlines the grille. The piece now extends to connect to the reshaped headlights, and the air intakes in the bumper get a larger, more aggressive look. At the rear, the taillights also have a tweaked design. Buyers get to choose from new exterior colors, as well, including Hainan Blue, Utopia Blue, Misano Red, and Cuvee Silver. In addition to the revised styling, fore and aft parking sensors and a rearview camera are now among the standard features. The higher-spec Prestige trim now rings up for $39,525 in front-wheel drive form. It adds features like a standard 7-inch MMI navigation system, power tailgate, blind-spot monitoring, a 14-speaker Bose stereo, and full LED headlights. New powertrains are not among the list of changes for the Q3. All models still come with a 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that's hooked up to a six-speed automatic. Front- wheel drive is standard, but Quattro all-wheel drive is a $2,100-option on both trims.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
