Hi, all-

Thanks much for taking a look at my auction. Available here is a 2003 Audi Allroad with 2.7 Turbo engine and 6-speed manual transmission. Most are automatics, so if you've been waiting for a manual car, this may be the one for you. As with most cars this age and miles, it's not without its flaws, but it is an overall very clean example of an Allroad and should give the next owner many more miles of enjoyment. I've owned the car for about 2 years, and the recent purchase of an electric car has this one sitting around. I'll give a brief description of my car here, and please feel free to ask any questions you have.

Mechanical: It runs very well, with just a couple of maintenance items to tend to. The air suspension works well, with 3 of the 4 bladders, all of the struts, and the compressor having been replaced in the last 2 years. The car will be sold with an uninstalled replacement right-front bladder. The current one lost pressure on the coldest days this past winter. It will also need rear brake pads, as the existing ones are near the end of their service life. I very recently had the water pump, timing belt, and a thermostat gasket serviced... which sounds like a simple thing, but it's really not. I replaced the tires with Pirelli P6 Allroad all season tires about a year ago, and they have less than 2,000 miles on them. In summary, I don't think you'll find very much to service.

Electrical: Nearly everything works perfectly. Occasionally the remote lock fails to unlock the car, but once unlocked with the physical key, it seems to work fine. I've replaced the turn signal switch, which is a common ailment for this vintage of Audi. I've also replaced the original foggy headlamps with clear aftermarket units, and all of their auto-leveling function is retained and functional. The rear lamps have been replaced with LED lamps. There is an iPod adapter installed, and I replaced with radio, which works properly. As with the mechanical system, there's very little to tend to.

Interior: The interior is clean, with a few defects. The soft-touch paint has worn from the air conditioning controls and window switches, which is common. The driver-side window switch pod is a bit loose. The wood is not cracked or hazed. The seat covers are not split and the seams are good. If not for the soft touch pieces, it would be in great shape.

Exterior/Body: It's quite clean for its age, but there is an issue with the paint. Some time in 2007, the previous own had a body repair done to the front of the vehicle by the dealership, and in attempting to match the color, they sprayed the front half the car. Over time the color has faded differently that the back half, and under certain lighting conditions, you can see the difference. I attempted to take the photos under conditions that it is obvious, and if you look closely, you can see it in the photos (difference in color where front and rear doors meet). I bought it this way because the rest of the car was clean and had a good service history, and given that the repair was performed at a dealership, you can find it on its Carfax report. Beyond this, there are a few various small door dings and light scratches on the body, the largest of which are on the hood (from highway debris) and the rear bumper. I've also noticed that the left-front door is sometime difficult to latch... it takes a certain effort... and so the car will include a replacement latch mechanism. This is a common issue. Lastly, I had the wheels refinished last year, but there's a scratch on one of them, and they do need to be detailed.

In summary, it's a nice car, and I wouldn't hesitate driving it anywhere. As mentioned above, please ask any questions you may have.

A bit of small print: The car is being offered locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if a local buyer purchases the vehicle. A $500 deposit is needed within 48 hours of the end of the auction, and the balance is due within 7 days. Bidders with less than 10 feedback should contact me before bidding, or I may cancel your bid. Bidding is open internationally, and the buyer is responsible for all transportation and its arrangement. It's desired to have the vehicle picked up within 2 weeks following the conclusion of the auction. If you require more time, I can arrange storage at a cost.

Thanks again for looking!

Audi SQ7 stars in Captain America: Civil War

Mon, Apr 18 2016

When Captain America: Civil War hits theaters next month joining the Captain and all his friends and foes in the latest Marvel action movie will be the Audi R8 V10 Plus, A4, A7, and the new SQ7, launched last month in Europe with a trick new electric-charged diesel engine. We've been hopeful over the prospect of the SQ7 making its way across the Atlantic, and its inclusion in a major Hollywood blockbuster gives us new hope. To coincide with the film's debut (and highlight its product placement), Audi had the film's directors Anthony and Joe Russo direct this promotional clip entitled "The Chase" and starring the aforementioned SQ7. Given the hodgepodge of US and German license plates, it's hard to tell where the scene is supposed to take place, much less draw conclusions over the SQ7's arrival, but we remain hopeful just the same. The minute-and-a-half version is online only, but a 30-second spot will be hitting the airwaves this month before the movie hits theaters on May 6. Until then – and the hopeful arrival of the new performance crossover in North American showrooms Â– this will just have to hold us over, so sit back and enjoy.

Audi's CEO might not have known of VW emissions scheme

Tue, Sep 27 2016

There's been no shortage of finger-pointing when it comes to finding people to blame for the Volkswagen diesel-emissions scandal that broke last September. One rather powerful executive, however, appears to have escaped blame. That would be Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, whose company sold about 85,000 diesel vehicles with emissions-cheating software, Reuters says, citing people familiar with the process. US law firm Jones Day questioned executives at both VW and its Audi unit and has found no evidence that Stadler was complicit with the plan, which involved programming Volkswagen-made diesel engines to produce artificially low emissions when the vehicle was being smog-tested. In Audi's case, the engine type in question was the 3.0-liter V6 diesel. Officials with both VW and its Audi unit declined to comment, according to Reuters. That engine was used for the Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, and Q7 since the 2009 model year, in addition to the VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne. Audi also sold the VW Group 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the A3 from 2010 to 2013 and 2015. VW has reached an agreement with US regulators concerning that engine, which is also not connected to Stadler. Last month, German newspaper Bild am Sonntag published specifics on how the 3.0-liter diesel cheated the emissions-testing process, including records that the motor was programmed to shut of its emissions-control equipment after 22 minutes of running, or about two minutes longer than typical emissions-compliance testing. Audi said last November that it would work on a software update for the V6's emissions-control system that would be submitted to both the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), but the VW unit hasn't reached any settlement with US regulators implying that a solution was agreed upon. Volkswagen's settlement with the EPA will cost Europe's largest automaker as much as $15 billion in the form of buybacks, lease buyouts, vehicle repairs, and investments in zero-emissions technology. VW sold about a half-million vehicles in the US that contained the so-called "cheat" software.

Audi partners with AT&T for 4G LTE, will offer Mobile Share data plan

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

Audi has made a big splash at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, joining the Open Automotive Alliance with Google, Honda, Hyundai, General Motors and NVIDIA, debuting a next-generation cockpit that's destined for the third-generation Audi TT and promising to offer laser headlights in a production car. But much like Apple during the Steve Jobs days, it has "just one more thing."
The German luxury brand has announced that it will, like Chevrolet, be teaming with AT&T to offer 4G LTE connectivity in its vehicles. The first model to benefit will be the 2015 Audi A3.
"With the introduction of the new A3 family Audi is putting the most advanced technology into the compact luxury segment," said Scott Keogh, President, Audi of America in a press release. "Offering drivers a 4G LTE connection will provide the fastest in-vehicle connection available and significantly enhance the infotainment experience."
