2000 Audi A6 Avant Quattro Black 4-door wagon, tan leather interior 129,000 miles · 2.8L 30v V6 engine (5 valves per cylinder) · Tiptronic automatic transmission (with manual shifting feature) · Permanent quattro all-wheel drive · HID Xenon headlamps · Audi Sympony sound system · Front and rear heated seats · Sunroof RECENT UPGRADES · 17” alloy wheels · Custom sport S6 stainless steel exhaust · Stainless steel braided brake hoses (F&R) · ATE super-blue brake fluid · Brand new OEM brake pads and rotors (F&R) · Brand new headlamps (crystal clear) HISTORY / MAINTENANCE · Bought in 2007 from 2nd owner · Run on only premium gas and synthetic oil for last 7 years / 50,000 miles · Front suspension arms, timing belt / water pump all replaced about 4 years ago I’ve owned this car for about 7 years and have done my best to keep it running right. I’ve been working for an Audi and/or Volkswagen dealer for the past 13 years in parts and service and have used my knowledge and available dealer resources to care for the car over the years. A recent career change came with a brand new VW company car, and now it is time for me to say goodbye to my A6 Avant. Before getting my new car, I was using the A6 almost every day, sometimes taking it on trips more than 300 miles and back. The car runs really well, but needs some work and I will do my best to disclose everything that I know is wrong. WHAT IS RIGHT WITH THE CAR: · Engine runs smoothly and quietly with full power; no excess engine noise and no exhaust leaks · The exhaust system is custom (but street legal), using the stainless steel Audi S6 rear mufflers, keeping stock catalytic converters (with new flex-couplings), but eliminating the center “suitcase” muffler – better flow and a nice, mellow, throaty growl around 2500-3000 rpm. Not loud, not obnoxious, sounds completely stock 80% of the time (including while idling) · Transmission shifts smoothly · Drives straight, no pulling or rattling from the suspension · Brakes are sharp and quiet (all brand new) · All electrical accessories, including windows, locks, HVAC, cruise, sunroof, mirrors and heated seats are operational · Air conditioning blows cold · Passed NY state / emissions inspection July 2013 WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR: · While the wheels look really good, they are not perfectly round. There is a slight vibration felt all around at about 60mph · Tires are worn – need to be replaced · Scratches and dings all around · There is a small coolant leak coming from the back of the engine (I believe it is coming from the crossover pipe). Again, there is no overheating issue, but I do need to top off the coolant once every 3 or 4 weeks · Check engine light comes on intermittently · Electric (A/C) cooling fan is very noisy when it is on (usually only while A/C is running, or in heavy traffic) – it functions perfectly and there is no overheating issue, just sounds like the bearing in the fan motor is shot (NEW REPLACEMENT FAN INCLUDED WITH SALE OF VEHICLE) · Shocks and springs are original and are starting to show their age; while there are no knocks or rattles coming from the suspension, it does feel a little soft… most driver’s would probably not know the difference, but if you are familiar with the way VWs or Audis are supposed to feel on the road · Front cupholders are not working properly (REPLACEMENT PARTS INCLUDED WITH SALE OF VEHICLE) Please note, as knowledgeable as I am about these cars, I can only attest to what I know now. I am in no way expressing any guarantee of condition or warranty of any kind. Vehicle is sold as-is, so if there is anything you would like to know, please ask prior to close of auction. Vehicle is located in New York City and buyer is responsible for cost of transport, sales tax, plates, insurance, etc… $500 due within 2 business days after the close of the auction via paypal, balance to be paid in cash or paypal prior to pickup of vehicle. Vehicle must be picked up / balanced paid within 7 days of close of auction or vehicle will be relisted and deposit forfeited. Sorry for the legal jargon, just want to make sure only serious buyers are placing bids. Happy bidding and good luck!

Audi following Tesla with 280-mile EV family car
Thu, Nov 27 2014The press days are finished at the LA Auto Show, but things said there are still making news. While in California, Audi technical development chief Ulrich Hackenberg told reporters that his employer plans to release an electric car with a range of 280 miles "around 2017." Hackenberg wouldn't say what kind of car - or crossover, perhaps - it will be, but one report said it would be "a large car, fitting five large people with ample luggage space." Most observers expect it to be a sedan to take on the Tesla Model S. It's no secret that Audi respects Tesla, and there have been hints that The House of Quattro is ready to really flex its progress-through-technology muscles in Tesla's direction. Audi will be applying lessons learned in the development of the coming R8 E-tron to the future electric car, after it managed to double the range of the electric sports car thanks to new battery technology to 450 kilometers, or 281 miles. This puts another tentative all-electric Audi in the mix and another Tesla competitor, after rumors of a possible electric Q8 from February of this year. If an electric Q8 does happen, it's expected to be a challenger to the Tesla Model X. And that might not be all: Bloomberg reported in June that Audi had "devised blueprints for several high-performance electric saloons and sport-utility vehicles."

Five reasons to love, or hate, the culture of German cars
Thu, Mar 5 2015A few months back, we took a 500-foot view of the culture of American cars, dissecting prides and prejudices on our way to the conclusion that automotive allegiances can be simultaneously embraced and derided. We had so much fun with the narrative that we decided to do it again, this time taking a look at Germany and its world-renowned lineup of automakers, including the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, among others. Join us below as we discuss the points and counterpoints that make or have made the German auto industry what it is today. And remember, Germany did pretty much invent the automobile, after all... The V12 Engine If America is known for the proliferation of the V8 engine, an argument could be made that Germany owns the V12. Yes, of course, other companies have created V12 engines – Ferrari, Jaguar and Lamborghini immediately come to mind – but the big 12-cylinder powerplants from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in particular, have proven to be some of the most effortless, luxurious and downright over-built engines the world has ever seen. These days, having 12 cylinders is more a case of wretched excess than ever before, and yet, you can still stroll into your local BMW or Mercedes dealership and get a brand-new 760i, S600 or even an over-the-top G65 AMG, efficiency be damned. Best of all, since the majority of these German powerhouses depreciate as fast as an anchor sinks, nearly any auto enthusiast who dreams of a dozen cylinders can satisfy their carnal desires. Current Star: 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 View 28 Photos Diesel Engines Remember how we talked about those glorious V12 engines? Well, you can even get one from Audi that runs on diesel. If your compression-ignition fantasies err more on the side of fuel savings, that's no problem, either. Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have got you covered, with engines starting as small as 800 cubic centimeters (Smart Fortwo). If you want something a little more practical, it's hard to argue with a VW Golf TDI, which will provide plenty of space for you and three of your best friends, plus a fair bit of luggage, all while returning 50-ish miles per gallon. For the purposes of this discussion, we'd rather focus on the asinine levels of torque provided by Germany's high-end diesel engines than the lower-end fuel sippers.
