Hello,

Here is my beloved Audi Allroad 2001 with only 71K miles for sale.

The car is in great shape mechanically. It has been in the NY area since new. Always highway driven and adult driven. No teenagers, no heavy footed drivers.

The car is recently serviced in Audi dealer and everything works great with the exception of a few very minor things which I never bothered . THE AIR SUSPENSION WORKS GREAT. This is the most important feature of this car and if you are looking for this type of car, of course you know about it. It has been serviced just a few months ago with all new Audi parts as well as the several front end parts. All tie-rods, upper bushings, links etc are new as well as new set of tires with less than 3000 miles in the front and less than 10K miles in the rear ( my wife hit a pothole and one of the tires ballooned on the side so I changed both front tires as a result). Tires are four season Coopers and they are the best four season tires for the snow )

The car is large, incredibly comfortable and quiet. It packs serious torque and power with a twin turbo 2.7 liter engine. I just changed the synthetic oil and the old oil came crystal clear. Even though I use the synthetic oil that is supposed to last 15000 miles, I always change it every 3000. It costs about 150 dollars to change it but I think it is worth the investment.

The car has minor scratches, dings etc which I never bothered with since in NYC someone is sure to open a door on you no matter what, but the interior is very clean. I have two sets of mats- snow and carpet. The car has every option imaginable from heated seats to dual zone ac to rear ac to who knows what. If you live in a snow region or go skiing, this is your car. I dont even bother to dig the car out, I just raise the level to the highest and drive over the snow. The car is fully off road shielded on the bottom even though we never really went off roading :)

The air suspension is an amazing feature. Some people worry it breaks easily and they are perhaps right. I made sure it was serviced and never had problems. I know there are a lot of aftermarket parts that are very cheap and do a great job but I always opted for Audi ( expensive stuff, I must confess)

My loss is your gain. This is a great car that will serve you well for many years to come. The only repair it will need is the rear break pads. The dealer told me they were low and I did not bother to change them as I have a new car coming, but it is $300 if you do it in the dealer of 120 outside ( probably the same exact parts).

You are welcomed to have the car inspected before bidding on it. I can also give you a test drive in NYC. I will deliver for free within 50 Miles once full payment is received. I can also hold the car for a maximum of 7 days after the payment. I can store it at your expense of $20/day after the seven day period.

This is a used car and is being sold as is. Please do not assume anything and ask any question you may have. I am selling the car because we are getting a new Audi Q7 which has very similar features but it has a third row seat. That's all. Otherwise, this is my absolute favorite car and I loved every minute of having it. This is incredible luxury and class under 10K. Good luck bidding.

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.

Stay in the house from the Audi R8 Emmy ad

Wed, Sep 14 2016

Audi is sponsoring the Emmys again, and launching an ad alongside the awards show that features a family living in the middle of the desert simply to have an excuse to drive their R8s as much, and as fast, as possible. Which is crazy. Even crazier, you can live in the exact house from the ad for a few days as part of an airbnb promotion. The stay includes chauffeured transportation from Las Vegas McCarran airport, all meals prepared by a personal chef, and an R8 V10 Plus in the driveway available for driving. Did we mention it's a real house and not just an advertising prop? It is. The 1,200 square foot Rondolino Residence sits on 80 acres near Scotty's Junction, Nevada, just over 2 hours northwest of Las Vegas. Beginning September 18, seven three-night stays in October will become available - one booking opens up each day at 9 PM Eastern. The rate is listed at $610 per night, with the bookings running October 10th through November 1st. You can book the experience, or try, on the airbnb page. As for the ad, titled "Desolation," at first it seems like a entertaining jaunt about the lengths people will go to for an amazing driving experience. A deeper (and totally unreasonable - it's just an ad) analysis suggests some truly troubling things going on. For starters, the lackadaisical parents let the children taunt a poisonous scorpion. Will the isolated upbringing and history of cruelty towards animals produce a future serial killer? In our deranged version of this fictional universe, yes. Second, the R8 - spoiler alert, both R8s - get super dirty on the run to the corner store. A corner store, which, seemingly unequipped for coffee roasting nevertheless has fresh artisanal beans sold in half-pound bags. Lacking a bulk purchase option, the plot of the ad surely repeats itself several times a week. That sounds insane, but hey, it's all about the drive. And we do love the "Leadfoot Coffee" easter egg. But we digress. Where is the car wash that left the R8 clean before the drive through the desert? And where is the second R8 parked? The male protagonist clearly drives out of the garage from a position that doesn't leave room for the second car. We can only surmise that there is a underground component to the house in the ad. To be clear, we're still in fictional universe of this ad - the real Rondolino Residence, like the Alamo, lacks a basement.

Car technology I'm thankful and unthankful for

Mon, Nov 27 2017

The past few years have seen a surge of tech features in new vehicles — everything from cloud-based content to semi-autonomous driving. While some of it makes the driving experience better, not all tech is useful or well thought out. Automakers who are adept at drivetrains, ride quality and in-cabin comforts often fail at infotainment interfaces and connectivity. From testing dozens of vehicles each year and in the spirit of gratitude, here are three car tech features I'm thankful Â— and a trio I could live without. Thanks Connected search: This seems like a no-brainer since everyone already has it on their smartphones, but not all automakers include it in the dashboard and as part of their nav systems. The best ones, such as Toyota Entune, leverage a driver's connected device to search for a range of services and don't charge a subscription or require a separate data plan for the car. I also like how systems like Chrysler Uconnect use Yelp or other apps to find everything from coffee to gas stations and allow searching via voice recognition. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: It took two of the largest tech companies to get in-dash infotainment right. While they have their disadvantages (you're forced to use Apple Maps with CarPlay, for example), the two smartphone-integration platforms make it easier and safer to use their respective native apps for phoning, messaging, music and more behind the wheel by transferring a familiar UI to the dashboard Â— with no subscription required. Heated seats and steering wheels: I really appreciate these simple but pleasant features come wintertime. It's easy to get spoiled by bun-warmers on frosty mornings and using a heated steering wheel to warm the cold hands. I recently tested a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 Coupe that also had heated armrest that added to a cozy luxury experience. Bonus points for brands like Buick that allow setting seat heaters to turn on when the engine is remotely started. No thanks Automaker infotainment systems: Automakers have probably poured millions into creating their own infotainment systems, with the result largely being frustration on the part of most car owners. And Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming along to make them obsolete. While some automaker systems, such as Toyota Entune and FCA's Uconnect, are easy and intuitive to use, it seems that high-end systems (I'm looking at you BMW iDrive and Mercedes-Benz COMAND) are the most difficult.
