Mammoth Lakes, California, United States

 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!!

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

The awards honor the most significant automotive designs revealed at NAIAS as determined by the North American and global leaders of design from automotive manufacturers, along with academic chairs of transportation design programs and design leaders from other fields.

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says

Wed, Apr 15 2015

You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.

2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet cleans up the Messe [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

If we're being honest, the outgoing Audi A3 Cabriolet never really flicked our Bic. That was just fine, of course, because Audi never brought it to North America. This new model, however, might have a different future.
And while Audi has yet to officially decide on this car's North American future, this Frankfurt Motor Show debut clearly has a better sense of proportion and aggression to it, and we're excited about its powertrain solutions, too. For the European market, Audi is promising TFSI gasoline engines in either 1.4- or 1.8-liters, along with a 2.0-liter TDI diesel, all being available in front- and all-wheel drive. Audi has also confirmed its first-ever S3 Quattro Cabriolet, which figures to combine a quick 18-second top drop and its hard-hatted sibling's even quicker 296-hp 2.0-liter turbo.
Even though Audi has been better about bringing its high-performance models to North America and has a new emphasis on growing its A3 business in our territories (including a US-minded sedan bodystyle), we would still be a bit surprised to see an S3 Cabriolet popping its entry-level top in dealers in a couple years' time. Having said that, we do think this A3 Cabriolet is almost a lock. Be sure to take a good, long look at our gallery, video and the official press release below.
