The car runs and drives. The previous owner had rear ended someone causing the damage that can be seen to the front end of the vehicle. I purchased the car with the intentions of repairing it for my wife. Now we are having to deal with courts in a custody battle with her ex to assure the safety and well being of our daughter so, the car must go.

As I said, the car runs and drives well. The motor mounts could use replacing and I was going to go ahead and do all the maintenance, such as new belts and fluids, to assure its all done and up to standard as I have no idea the last time anything was performed. I would recommend the same to the new owner.

The brakes have about half their life remaining.  Three of the four tires need to be replaced. The spare is a full sized, matching wheel spare but, the tire on it was obviously a match for the other three and didn't survive. I would assume the only time worth keeping was the spare to begin with. So, a new set of tires is in order.

The interior is clean and everything works properly but there are some things on the dash that need to be replaced. For example, the ash tray and little storage tray are broken and need to be replaced. The glove box hinges are broken. Audi has a repair kit for this issue and it is a known problem. The seat bottoms on the front seat have cracks and tears. I was going to put on seat covers or have them repaired. I hadn't decided yet. Beyond that, its pretty nice inside.

The body is fairly straight. The driver's side rear door does have a dent, which can be seen in the pictures, that I am pretty sure can be popped out if you pull the door panel and push on it from the inside. There isn't a crease so it should straighten out fairly well. Some heat and some massaging and it should look pretty smooth.

The hood is obviously damaged. I was going to hammer it as straight as possible, smooth it over with filler and sanding, and them prime it only as needed to protect it and then wrap it in carbon fiber wrap. I have already purchased the wrap.

The grills, all four, need to be replaced. There are some really nice after-market grills that I was going to purchase that would look really sharp.

The mounting tabs for the headlights were cracked so the headlight housings need to be replaced. I was going to take this opportunity to upgrade to HID lighting. If you prefer to go cheaper you can just replace the housings and stay with the projectors which are plenty bright.

The upper radiator support does need to be replaced as well as the fan / shroud assembly. The a/c condenser was punctured in the accident and needs to be replaced and the system will need to be recharged.

This is all that I can think of at the moment. I am trying to be as up front and forward as possible. I figured this is a great opportunity to obtain a really nice car at a fraction of the price. Plus, you get to put your personal touches on it as you build it.

Every vehicle we purchase, this is how I go about it and we come out ahead every time. We buy it needing repairs, such as this Audi A4, repair it, have the title converted back to a blue title, drive it for a few years, and then sell it for a profit. Even when we have had a car totaled in a hail storm, which has happened twice now, we have received more than we paid for it or had it all together.

If you have any questions or would like to see any additional pictures please let me know.

Next Audi R8 to be up to 130 pounds lighter

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

"Simplify and add lightness," as Lotus founder Colin Chapman said. In a world where even supercars are subject to environmental, efficiency and emissions standards, lighter vehicles are being looked on as a sort of panacea - make it lighter, and it's automatically faster, more agile, easier to brake and better on gas.
Knowing this, it comes as no shock that Audi is looking at ways to lighten up its next-generation R8, with the brand's head of technical development Ulrich Hackenberg targeting a 110- to 130-pound diet for the mid-engine rocket. This supports previous reports regarding the focus for the next R8. Motor Trend reports that aluminum and carbon fiber feature heavily in plans for the next R8, which should go a long way toward slimming down even the lightest of R8s, the 3,678-pound V10 Plus model.
There's more over at Motor Trend, including the buff book's attempts to get Hackenberg to discuss powertrain options for the next R8.

2014 Audi A6, A7 and Q5 TDI diesel models get pricing and fuel economy figures [w/videos]

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

Last year, Audi announced that it was expanding its lineup of TDI models for 2014 with the Q5, A6 and A7 joining the diesel-burning Q7 and A8 L models already in existence. The Q7 TDI has been out for a few years now and we recently drove the A8 L TDI, but now Audi has released the pricing, performance and fuel economy details for the 2014 Q5 TDI, A6 TDI and the ever-stylish A7 TDI. Down the road, Audi has also promised a TDI version of the next-generation A3 that will debut for 2014.
Until the new A3 TDI shows up, the Q5 will be the most affordable diesel model in Audi's lineup, with a starting price of $46,500 to go with fuel economy estimates of 24 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. The closely related A6 and A7 will get identical fuel economy numbers of 24 city and 38 highway in diesel form, with the A6 TDI starting at $57,500 and the A7 TDI starting at $66,900. In the three new TDI applications, Audi's 3.0-liter V6 produces 240 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque, and all models are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Scroll down for videos (stock running footage) and more information on the Q5 TDI, A6 TDI and A7 TDI, all of which go on sale in late summer.

Audi sets diesel records on road and track

Tue, Jun 16 2015

Ever the proponent of diesel propulsion, Audi has claimed two very different kinds of records in Europe with its finest oil-burners. The more exciting of the two was achieved recently at the Sachsenring, where the Audi RS5 TDI Competition Concept posted the fastest diesel-powered lap time ever recorded on the track. As you may recall, Audi revealed the RS5 TDI Concept last year, swapping the gasoline-burning 4.2-liter V8 in the production RS5 coupe for a 3.0-liter V6 diesel with two turbochargers and an electric supercharger. The result was 385 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, but Audi's been working on the prototype over the course of the past year. In the new Competition version, output is up to 435 hp and 590 lb-ft, and despite the inherently heavier diesel engine, it actually weighs 531 pounds less than the production model. That helped the RS5 TDI Competition lap the circuit in 1:35.35, besting the previous diesel lap record by 1.87 seconds, and adding to the Hockenheim record it took previously. Around the same time, another team set out from Maastricht in the Netherlands in an Audi A6 TDI Ultra and drove it for 28 hours straight, hitting 14 countries and logging 1,158.9 miles on a single tank of diesel. The achievement, certified by Guinness World Records, was completed in a showroom-stock vehicle, with automotive journalist Andrew Frankel and racing driver Rebecca Jackson splitting driving duties. They achieved an average of 75.9 miles per gallon – much better than the advertised rating of 67 mpg – as they cruised through from Holland to Hungary, passing along the way through Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia. Record: Audi RS 5 TDI competition concept drives to record time on the Sachsenring track - Audi sets new lap record for cars with diesel engines - Superior technology platform with 435 hp and 800 Nm (590.0 lb-ft) - Electric compressor: overcomes turbo lag, enhances sprint performance Audi has set a new record time on the Sachsenring for cars with a diesel engine. The Audi RS 5 TDI competition concept rounded the 3.6 km (2.2 mi) race course in a time of 1 minute 35.35 seconds. The technology platform draws its power from a 3.0-liter V6 biturbo TDI with 320 kW (435 hp) of power and 800 Nm (590.0 lb-ft) of torque. The highlight is an electrically driven compressor.
