Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

NOTE: I have 7 videos of the car uploaded on YouTube but eBay won't allow me to list them in this description, please email me at iancu_b@yahoo.com or text me at 267-984-3579 and I will send you the links to them.
This was my wife's car, we bought it a bit over a year ago with 159,xxx miles and just turned 170,000. The timing belt/water pump/thermostat/tensioners and rollers were replaced at 115,000 miles and will be due again at 220,000. I replaced the valve cover gaskets, cam plugs, complete PCV system, injectors(4 holes updated red tops), fuel, air and pollen filter, spark plugs(NGK Iridiums good for 100,000 miles), a front axle, brakes, Interstate battery, vacuum lines,coolant flush, brake flush, transmission fluid and filter replaced,etc. I swapped a complete two-tone Allroad interior including door panels with the rear window shades....original interior was brown, I didn't like that very much. I also replaced front shocks, lower and upper control arms, I mounted an S4 thicker sway bar and end links, the rear sway bar is from a Sport model A6 with the V8 4.2. The car was very reliable and dependable, we had zero issues with it. Very safe (6 airbags) and fits a car seat in the back easily. Baby stroller, pack'n'play, you name it....it fits. Back rest folds down to increase cargo space. BOSE stereo, heated seats(front and rear), power everything.....this car was $46,000 in 1999, you get the idea. Recently the transmission started making noise, it drives fine, has forward and reverse but sounds like a bad power steering pump. It shifts fine and does not slip yet but I do not recommend driving it. If the transmission is still salvageable please consider towing it. I drove it around the block to shoot some videos and once in a while I'll drive it a mile or two just to get the fluids running and charge the battery but I do not recommend driving it long distance. I did not take it on the highway nor do I recommend that. The car has been pretty much sitting since winter, I bought an S6 Avant and an Allroad for my wife so needless to say we won't be fixing the A6 but rather part with it and move on. The car had PA inspection until the end of February 2014 and (assuming the transmission doesn't quit completely or gets fixed) it will need a new windshield to pass again, current one did not survive this winter. UnionAutoGlass quoted me $190 installed and they come to your house, other quotes were in the $200 range. There are no warning lights on the dash, no check engine light and no codes in the systems. The brakes are rusty from sitting and the headliner is starting to sag. KBB for this car in FAIR condition is $3,393.....I have a whole lot more into the car and willing to take a reasonable loss on it. You could part it out for twice as much money then my asking price, I have no space or time to do so plus I think it would be a shame, the car has a lot of life left in it. The Allroad interior(seats and door panels) was close to $1,000 by itself, it's a lot of car for the money. Please let me know if you have any questions. The car can be seen in Port Richmond (19134) section of Philadelphia. Thank you for reading this ad. Best regards, John 267-984-3579 |

Spyker C8 Aileron to come back with supercharged power?
Fri, 08 Mar 2013The new B6 Venator wasn't the only vehicle on display at the Spyker booth at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The company still has its C8 Aileron on offer, and Road & Track has word of a potential powerplant upgrade for the long-running machine.
Since its introduction in the year 2000, the C8 has used a 4.2-liter V8 engine sourced from Audi, which, in base form, offers up 400 horsepower. Though it's a great powerpant, that's simply not enough power in this day and age - after all, if a car is going to be called super, it needs to offer more ponies than something as mundane as the Ford Mustang GT.
According to R&T, John Walton, Chief Commercial Officer at Spyker, indicated that a new engine supplier may be in the works. "[The Audi-sourced V8] really hasn't got enough bang for the buck. To be honest, every supercar needs to have something that begins with a '5' today. That's why we're supercharging the car in the future, which will take it to over 500-hp," said Walton.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Audi RS3 spy shots foreshadow an ultra-hot hatch
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Not all vehicle prototypes and mules require heavy camouflage - sometimes they can be hidden in plain sight. That's probably what Audi was hoping for while testing its new RS3 wearing S3 duds, but thanks to some visual and audible telltales, our spy photographers were able to recognize this as a precursor to the marque's ultra-hot hatch testing near the Nürburgring.
Our photographer noticed the signature exhaust note of a five-cylinder engine, which suggests the RS3 could borrow its motivation from the excellent TT RS. Producing at least 340 horsepower, this 2.5-liter turbo powerplant could be the perfect answer for the new A45 AMG from Mercedes-Benz. The big brakes on this RS3 mule give us our best idea about the car's high-performance intentions, with Audi RS wave brake rotors and six-piston calipers peering out from behind the oversized wheels.
In production form, the RS3 should have a much different appearance from what you see here, with sportier design cues including oval-shaped dual exhaust outlets and a more aggressive front fascia. While we're still waiting for our first taste of the S3 in the North America, we'll be holding our breath for the RS3 to make its way here, as well.
