The greatest station wagon ever? Might just be! I've had a lot of fun with this car over the last five years but I'm moving and will no longer have parking space for this classic. This thing is legitimately fast even today, with over 200 horsepower, but it still has a comfortable, smooth interstate ride. The mechanical Torsen limited-slip center differential works great, as does the factory push-button rear locker(!). So much better than newer/cheaper electronic traction control! The air conditioning compressor was replaced with a new unit in 2012, the tires are good, and it has had a recent oil change (Mobile 1). The pictured factory service manuals are included (almost $200 to buy new). It takes about a liter of hydraulic fluid every oil change or so (4-5,000 miles). This has been my daily driver in nice weather for the last few years and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere! In fact, if you'd rather not pick it up I can deliver it almost anywhere in the lower 48 states or eastern Canada for $.50/mile from zip code 16866 (with payment in hand, of course)! Otherwise, I'll be happy to bring it to your shipper for the same charge. International bidders are welcome, but please understand I have no experience shipping vehicles internationally and you will have to make all necessary arrangements.

As you can see in the photos, the exterior is not in perfect condition but Audi's famous rustproofing has been doing its job. There's a small crack in the lower passenger side corner of the windshield and a chip out of the passenger side taillight but neither has been an inspection issue and the shop I take it to is particular (hence the new brakes all around with only a few thousand miles on them). I can have a fresh Pennsylvania inspection and emissions certification done for you for $60 if that's a concern. What doesn't work: rear wiper/defroster, rear hatch struts, cruise control, and radio (plays CDs fine though). Also, the speedometer usually wavers around a few mph below the actual speed and the oil temperature gauge seems to read low. I replaced the speed sensor so my guess is there's an iffy connection in the dash. I also have an extra set of steel wheels with older snow tires on them. I've never mounted these and I wouldn't want to rely on the tires but the wheels look serviceable, so if you want them I can include them for an extra $20.

This would be a great restoration candidate or daily driver. I'd also think this powertrain would be a natural fit for an Ur-Quattro project!

You are welcome to come check it out in person or ask any questions, just email me at: benmull@hotmail.com. The car is presently garaged and plugged into a trickle charger, but it will have to be stored outside after Jan.10 if it hasn't been picked up/shipped/delivered by then. Since this needs to go fast, the deposit is non-refundable and I will require payment in full within 7 days of the auction's end. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Audi and Jaguar Land Rover recalls address seatbelt issues

Tue, Aug 2 2022

Audi and Jaguar Land Rover are each recalling several thousand vehicles for separate potential seatbelt issues. The recalls cover the 2022 Audi A3 and S3; 2022 Jaguar F-Type, F-Pace and XF; and the 2022-23 Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar. Examples of these vehicles may have shipped with seatbelt pretensioners that will not function properly in the event of an accident. Audi is recalling its sedans for tensioner devices that may not adequately restrain drivers or passengers during a crash. The issue was discovered during Korean market crash testing of the high-performance RS 3. "The seat belt tensioner in the affected vehicles serve the purpose of holding the passenger in his position in the seat," Audi said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of a crash, the retention force of the seat belt may not reach the intended level. As a result, the position of the body can be further to the front of the seat, which leads to a negative influence on the whole restraint system, increasing the risk of injury." A different company, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), meanwhile, also has an issue with a batch of pretensioners installed in its cars and SUVs. Pretensioners are the devices that fire off to rapidly retract the seatbelt when a crash is detected. Most utilize an explosive charge and pressure tube JLR says that some pretensioner devices provided by one of its suppliers may not have properly-specified pressure tubes that may not channel the gasses to the retraction mechanism correctly. "A damaged front seat belt pretensioner tube may have been installed on the seat belt retractor," JLR's report said. "This may result in a reduced level or complete loss of pre-tensioning in the event of a crash and increased occupant injury." Owners of the models included in both recall campaigns should receive notices from the manufacturers in the coming months. Related video: Recalls Audi Jaguar Land Rover Ownership Safety SUV Sedan

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

BMW considering building 3 Series in North America

Sun, 13 Apr 2014

There might be even more BMWs coming from North America soon. The company recently announced plans to build a flagship crossover called the X7 at its Spartanburg, SC, factory. Now, rumors are emerging that the Bavarians might be thinking about building a second North American factory that could build its quick-selling 3 Series.
According to Bloomberg, the German luxury giant is considering several possible locations for a North American factory, including two in Mexico, that may build the 3. "We will decide this in the next months. On the North American continent, there's still potential," said BMW production boss, Harald Krueger, in an interview meant for company staff obtained by Bloomberg.
If BMW decides to open a plant in Mexico, it would be following its rival Audi, which already announced construction of a factory there. Mercedes-Benz has been rumored to be working on a deal with Nissan to build its cars South of the Border as well. Rumors of Bimmer considering Mexican production have also cropped up in the past, so it wouldn't come as a total surprise to hear it made official.
