 I am selling my beloved Audi Allroad.  I love this car.  I live in Mammoth Lakes, CA.  This has been my "snow car" for 6 years now.  I purchased it in 2007.  After doing much research, I watched a video from Germany, where all the manufacturers raced their vehicles up a steep ski run.  The Allroad was the only vehicle to make it to the top.  I was sold on it.  It hasn't disappointed. 

I got a great deal on a Subaru Outback last July, and haven't been driving the Allroad much lately.  I also have a truck.  We simply don't need 3 vehicles, and I'm sick of paying the insurance and registration, so the Audi must go.

Condition:  Trying to be objective, I think this car is in pretty good shape for a 10-year old car with 90k miles on it.  I've always changed the oil every 3k miles and done the routine maintenance.  I stick the maintenance records in the glove box.  Might need a new air filter soon.  I might have a spare one lying around.  If I do, I'll throw it in.  I also have two sets of floor mats (all-weather and regular).  I'll include both.  Again, it has been in a snow town, so there are scratches and normal wear and tear all over.  The pics show a dirty car, as it just snowed.  A couple years ago, a snow removal vehicle hit my rear driver side door.  It was replaced under insurance and has worked perfectly ever since.  My wife was rear-ended at a red light by a drunk driver.  We didn't fix it, as it didn't effect the integrity of the car.  The car is a tank (you should see the damage to the drunk driver's car).  Anyway, the damage is clear in the photos.  Other than that, the leather is in good shape.  The wood trim is in good shape.  Some peeling has occured on the radio portion of the dashboard, and the veneer on the dash-mounted cup holder came off.  There is a very minor oil leak, that we've had since we purchased the car.  The Audi dealer says it's very normal in turbo-charged cars, at the seals.  I've never had to add oil or anything.  Never been an issue.  Just wanted to mention it, because oil is noticeable on the skid plate when it's removed to change the oil.  There is some grime/film over the headlights, but the auto-levelling xenon lights still work great.  CD changer works great, Bose stereo is awesome.  Heated seats are magical.  Car has a lot of power.  Twin Turbo kicks ass.  The snow tires on the car right now still have a decent amount of tread left.  The brakes are great, tons of stopping power.  I have two keys for the car.  The remote lock/unlock feature isn't working on the keys.  The batteries died and need to be replaced.  They might need to be re-programmed (there's some specific instructions on how to do it on the web or at the dealer) - I just put the key in the door to lock/unlock old school style.

Only problems we've ever had have been electrical.  Our local german mechanic has plugged in the diagnostics and re-set, and voila, back to good.  The winshield wiper fluid reservoir has a leak - so the "low wiper fluid" light is constantly on because we don't even deal with it.  We've also had the Tire Pressure Sensor be touchy at times.  Sometimes that light goes on, even with tire pressure is perfect (we've never had the tires lose air at all).  There are two cracks in the windshield (as is common in snow towns from the expanding/contracting from temp changes).  You might wanna put a new windshield on, but we've just let it linger for a couple years.  Also, the gas shocks in the trunk are shot. They cost about $65 to replace.  I'm lazy to do it, because I rarely drive this car anymore, but you'll want to replace those.  Otherwise, you've got to hold the trunk up by hand, and it's heavier than you think!

You can check out a zillion websites for features, etc.  All I've gotta say is, for the price I'm asking, this car is an absolute steal.

History:  I purchased it for $22,000 in 2007 with 36.5k miles on it.  I bought it from a doctor in Boise, ID.  He needed a mini-van for kids, and the car was in immaculate shape.  I flew out to Idaho to buy it.  I wanted the navy blue color and it's pretty rare.  I Had it inspected by the local audi dealer, and they told me it was the cleanest Allroad they'd seen.

Please, please, please, email me with any questions, or request more photos - I want to be completely forthcoming, and am not trying to hide anything. 

Free pickup in Mammoth Lakes, CA - or I will drive it down to Los Angeles area for $300.  I'm also open to other delivery options, let me know if you're interested and let's see what we can work out.

Thanks!!

Audi developing EV batteries with LG Chem, Samsung SDI

Fri, Aug 14 2015

Audi is continuing to trickle out more details about a future electric SUV with a range of over 311 miles, and the Four-Ringed Brand now has a deal with LG Chem and Samsung SDI to use their cells in its battery design for the upcoming EV. The two companies are also agreeing to make investments in Europe to produce and supply parts there for the vehicle. "We will optimally integrate the innovative cell modules developed with LG Chem and Samsung SDI into our vehicle architecture, thus achieving an attractive overall package of sportiness and range," Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Audi Board of Management member for development, said in the deal's announcement. Hackenberg first publicized the EV during the brand's annual press conference this year. At the time, he confirmed that the model will use the same MLB 2 platform as the Q7 and set a launch date of early 2018. The vehicle reportedly carries the internal codename C-BEV, and a concept version might show up at September's Frankfurt Motor Show. Current rumors suggest that the EV will use a 90-kWh battery pack to achieve such a long range. Three electric motors could provide a total output of 500 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

The two Audi partners plan to invest in the cell technology in Europe and will supply the Ingolstadt-based car producer from their European plants. The new technology will give drivers of the Audi sport utility vehicle a range of more than 500 kilometers. "Together with our South Korean development partners, we are bringing production of the latest battery-cell technology to the EU and strengthening European industry with this key technology," stated Dr. Bernd Martens, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for Procurement. The cell modules are to offer particularly high performance.

Comparison test: 2019 Acura RDX vs. compact luxury SUV competitors

Fri, Jun 1 2018

Truth be told, if we were to compare the all-new 2019 Acura RDX with those compact luxury crossover SUVs it would most likely be cross-shopped against, you'd be looking at a different list. Even Acura admits that Lexus and Infiniti are the most likely bogies, but with the 2019 RDX, Honda's luxury brand is attempting to attract those customers who think as much with their hearts as with their heads. And for the most part, those folks have been buying from German brands: the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. So, to show how the new RDX compares to them, Acura actually provided examples of each during the recent press drive along with a Volvo XC60. All were determined to have greater emotional appeal than the last RDX, and we would certainly agree. For, as much as the previous-generation RDX made sense on paper, it was really hard to get excited about it. And when you're paying extra for a luxury vehicle, shouldn't you get a little excited? Well, as luck would have it, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and I were on hand in Whistler, British Columbia, for the press launch. We didn't have an abundance of time in each RDX competitor, but in conjunction with our usual comparison chart, our impressions should provide a good first taste of how the new RDX compares. Performance and fuel economy Contributing Editor James Riswick: On paper at least, the RDX is gutsier than its comparably powered European rivals. It also weighs the same or less, which logically should mean it'll be the quickest in a straight line. During my brief drives, though, I'm not sure it really stood taller than the three Germans. It at least matches them for smoothness, which is something that can't be said about the Volvo. Fuel economy is lower than them all when you consider all but the Mercedes come standard with all-wheel drive. It's also worth noting that all the competitors are available with engine upgrades, and unless Acura's forthcoming resurrection of Type S models includes the RDX, it should stay that way. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Line 'em all up in a drag race, and I have a feeling the Acura would squirt away to victory. A good bit of that, though, would be due to its 10-speed automatic transmission, which offers a huge spread of ratios and fires off extremely quick shifts. In the real world, I'd guess fuel economy will be similar across the board, so I'm willing to call that category a draw.

Audi Prologue concept drives itself to CES with updated powertrain

Thu, Jan 8 2015

What's the point in crafting a one-off concept car if it only gets to stand in the spotlight at one show? That's what automakers have been asking themselves recently, and the answer has, generally speaking, been to repaint their show cars, give them a bit of new tech and put them back on center stage. And the latest to do so is Audi, which has given its Prologue concept a new lease on life. The Prologue was originally unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show less than two months ago, showing the way forward for the future of Audi design, in an elegant coupe form that looked ready to take on the Mercedes S-Class Coupe. We even got a chance to drive it around the streets of LA, and when we did, we marveled at the concept's advanced infotainment system that caters a range of personal preferences according to who's on board. "It's easy to see how this could even reach for chauffeured, or autonomously driven vehicles" in the future, we said at the time. And it turns out Audi was on the same page. At CES this year, Audi has brought back the Prologue concept, given it a darker coat of grey paint, a grey-tone interior (instead of the previous shades of brown and tan), a fresh set of wheels and equipped it with the autonomous tech the German automaker has been at the forefront of developing. Though other automakers have been fitting their self-driving prototypes with all-electric powertrains, Audi kept the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 in place – but fitted it with a hybrid assist to drive output up from an already prodigious 605 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque to an even more impressive 677 hp and 701 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time down to 3.5 seconds. Now that's the kind of "piloted driving" tech (as Audi calls it) that we can get behind.
