 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!!

Which would you rather have, Audi's RS5 or Mercedes' C63 AMG 507?

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

If you're in the market for a German sports coupe with a naturally aspirated V8, run, don't walk, to your nearest dealer because they are going to be gone very soon. European fuel economy and emissions rules have conspired to force automakers into seeking forced-induction mills. Motor Trend personality Jonny Lieberman is hosting the retirement party in the latest Head 2 Head video, where he takes on the 2014 Audi RS5 and 2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 to decide which is the ultimate Teutonic V8.
To make the decision harder, Lieberman challenges the duo on the first soaking wet roads that Southern California has seen in ages. It forces the coupes to confront some of the actual weather that the rest of the country encounters regularly and serves to even the playing field somewhat between the charismatic rear-drive Mercedes-Benz and the all-wheel drive Audi.
It really is the end of an era for these coupes. The next Audi RS4 is rumored to switch to a twin-turbo V6, and while Mercedes won't officially admit it, the next C-Class AMG will likely switch to a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. And we already know the next BMW M3/M4 will rely on a 425-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline-six. Let's enjoy these eight-cylinder German giants while we can, and scroll down to watch the video.

Audi creates new diesel fuel from carbon dioxide and water

Mon, Apr 27 2015

What if you could power cars of the future with pollution created by the cars of the past? That's what German automaker Audi is hoping to achieve by creating a new synthetic fuel using renewable energy to turn water and carbon dioxide gas into a new kind of fuel they call "e-diesel." The new diesel is being produced at Audi's pilot plant Sunfire in Dresden, Germany. Only a few gallons were created, which the German Federal Minister of Education and Research Johanna Wanka put into her Audi A8 to prove the fuel's bonafides. The base fuel is known as "blue crude" and begins from a green source. Audi uses electricity from wind, water or solar power sources to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water. The hydrogen is then mixed with carbon dioxide which has been converted in carbon oxide. The blue crude is then further refined to create the e-diesel. The carbon dioxide is currently supplied by a biogas facilities, but some of that CO2 was captured from the air. "The engine runs quieter and fewer pollutants are being created," says Sunfire CTO Christian von Olshausen. The fuel can be combined with conventional diesel fuel, as biodiesel fuels already and would be competitively priced against regular diesel, according to Gizmag. Sunfire can produce about 42 gallons of e-diesel a day. That seems like barely a drop in the bucket in terms of Europe's energy use, but Audi is ready to commercialize the technology with plans to expand production with a bigger facility in the future.

Audi readying diesel PHEV models for US and Europe

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

With the racing pedigree provided by the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the German king of Le Mans is capitalizing on the connection between its road cars and race cars at every opportunity. Maybe there's an entire range of Le Mans Editions for the automakers diesel-hybrid offerings, with perhaps Tom Kristensen acting as the brand's spokesperson for the technology in Europe. You'd be wrong, though, because despite the R18's overwhelming successes in endurance racing, Audi the road-car manufacturer doesn't offer a single diesel-hybrid production car.
This factoid will hopefully be as short lived as it is disappointing, though, as a diesel-electric is around the corner, according to the brand's tech boss, Ulrich Hackenberg. In fact, it gets better than a mere diesel-hybrid; it will be a plug-in diesel-hybrid, only the second to hit the market, alongside the European-market Volvo V60.
According to Hackenberg, the new tech will be the result of a marriage between the brand's well-received 3.0-liter, TDI V6 with an electric motor. The next-generation Audi Q7 (shown above) will be the initial recipient, confirming previous reports that claimed a PHEV TDI could come to the next-gen CUV. Its MLB architecture, meanwhile, would allow the plug-in-hybrid-diesel powertrain to be fitted easily enough to the A8 luxury sedan. While the new Q7 should hit the market at some point in 2015, it's unclear when the PHEV TDI model could see the light of day.
