2003 Audi A8L AWD. Garage kept all its life. Navigation equipped in the dash. This is a two owner vehicle that has been well cared for and adult female driven. It has 135,500 miles and used as a family car it's whole life and not driven by some college kid who abused it. It came fully loaded with BOSE sound system 6 changer CD/Cassette player, sun-roof, heated seats, navigation, rear sunshades etc. It has the ski package boot that allows users to put their skis in the trunk through the back seat. Also AUDI equipped first aid kit in the rear console. PLEASE REVIEW PICTURE OF ACTUAL WINDOW STICKER FOR ALL THE EQUIPMENT. This car has the upgraded 17" wheels with matching Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires that have about 5000 miles of ware on them. The timing belt was recently replaced and other maintainence at a cost of $5000.00. The only thing I can find wrong is a ding near the driver's side door handle and two lights on the dash that I am currently exploring the cause. These are windshield fluid "low" indicator and "low tire pressure" indicator even though the reservoir is full and tires are inflated properly. It has front AUDI rubber mats over carpet mats. The rear window sun shade is automatic by dash switch. There is front and back parking indicators.

Please keep in mind I am selling this vehicle for a friend. His name is Harold, a really nice guy who will welcome any questions by phone. His cell # is 828-230-0747. I asked him if this car had ever been wrecked and he advised me that the previous owner, his wife's boss said that it had been involved in some "fender-bender" so be sure and get a carfax on it to clear your mind. The car looks great to me and I only minimally had to clean it as Harold and his wife are very clean people. But, please don't expect a new car when you show up to see it as it was the family roadster for over 135,000 miles. It does have a few little blemishes etc. but overall I think this will make someone very proud to own it. It's a very sharp, fully German engineered luxury car that is very sporty. You could buy it for your teen but keep in mind this is a very fast V8 with 310 HP high performance vehicle. I took it for a test drive and was very impressed by the way it handled and engine performance is incredible. I guess it should for a car that cost almost $70,000 new! But, it also a very safe one with lots of equipment designed in it to keep any occupant safe in a crash. Don't PAYPAL...too expensive. If you win the bid we will work out the payment... probably cash or check on delivery. This car is located in Asheville, NC. So, come pick it up and stay a few days. Also, keep in mind this car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull this ad early. If there is a bid, I won't pull the ad and will sell to the winning bidder.

How should Volkswagen deal with its diesel problems?

Mon, Sep 21 2015

The hounds of hell are bearing down on Volkswagen in the wake of allegations of cheating on diesel emissions testing. In just a single day, Volkswagen's stock has dropped 23 percent and the German government has announced that it is going to investigate a far larger number of vehicles over emissions violations. The American storm is quickly becoming a global one. Volkswagen sells over a million diesel vehicles a year and also has more than 13 percent of the automotive market overall – it was the number one automaker in the world up until the scandal. Yet in a matter of hours, Volkswagen has also become a pariah with potential fines and recalls that may be dwarfed by how the alleged lies and deceit change how governments and consumers view the company. Consumers are really going to be the key to the company's survival. It's those consumers who are really going to be the key to the company's survival. Every single one of them now finds themselves with a product that was sold illegally and may not be registered until recall work is done. What's worse is that Volkswagen doesn't yet have a solution for the emissions issue to offer these customers. It should also be noted that this is not the first time Volkswagen has found itself in violation of EPA emission regulations. Volkswagen is in a world of trouble, so what now? As a car dealer and former financial analyst who took several companies public, I believe Volkswagen can and should consider three points of action that would make an enduring difference in the times to come. 1. Offer affected TDI owners a compelling reason to stay with the brand. Recall work and a cup of coffee at the dealership are not going to be enough to placate current owners. Volkswagen should provide compensation for customers at the earliest opportunity and offer some type of inducement that keeps them within the fold. This shouldn't be the industry's version of a Chuck E. Cheese coupon - a small discount on a new vehicle. Volkswagen needs to offer something along the lines of a strong warranty extension of the entire powertrain (not just the emissions system) or some type of valuable feature upgrade for these vehicles so that owners feel that they have been treated fairly. Perhaps a combination of a brand new navigation system, software upgrades for the infotainment components, or some type of basic free WiFi service would be a healthy act of generosity.

Audi A3-based people mover in the works

Sat, 01 Jun 2013

We have yet another announcement of yet another new Audi, including yet another obligatory quote from Audi research and development chief Wolfgang Dürheimer that there's room for it in the Audi range. On the sidelines of reports about the diesel-hybrid sports car, derived from the R18 endurance racer, there have been remarks about a possible MPV. Now Auto Express reports that said MPV "is on the way" and will be based on the A3 Sportback.
Previous speculation has posited either a six- or seven-seat people carrier; if the AE report is to be believed then five seats is the number that's been settled on. Planned to rest on a stretched version of the A3 platform, its wheelbase would be nearly eight inches longer than that of the A3 Sportback and it would compete against the Mercedes-Benz B-Class and the production version of the BMW Concept Active Tourer.
Audi is not going to dally about it, either, with a concept said to be ready for debut next year. Should it come, it would mean the A3 range comes pretty close to hitting for the cycle.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
