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!

Next-gen Audi A7 design to be 'radical'

Wed, Dec 24 2014

The Prologue concept has our attention. In fact, it has everyone's attention. It is the preview for the coming A7, and Autocar summarized Audi design chief Marc Lichte's concerning the new A7 as, "A more radical design is promised for the next-generation." In fact, the next A7 is said to become "the most radical" of three coming designs inspired by the Prologue, the others being the new A6 and A8. Autocar also said Lichte made it clear that there would be "much greater visual differentiation between the trio and other future Audis." Yet, for at least four years Audi has been talking about a design overhaul to fight back charges that its cars look too similar. In 2011 there was a "design initiative" dubbed AQR to make sure that "the design details will be different" between its hatchbacks, Quattro offerings and R Sports cars, and make proportion changes to its sedans. That didn't really move the needle. In 2013, then-design boss Wolfgang Egger hailed the end of "scalable design," a prime culprit for the 'same sausage, different lengths' accusations. We're not sure the needle moved much then, either. And this year came news of a new "Quattro-centric" design language that would stress horizontals, perhaps the new Q7 it's first serious proponent, a crossover that we'll have to see before we can judge. Although we've heard the bells ringing about fresh design at Audi for years, we hope they mean it with products that come after the Prologue; it is a fabulous place to start.

Mercedes could make EV batteries with Audi, BMW

Mon, Sep 21 2015

It's not a big leap from digital maps to batteries, it turns out.The head of Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler said recently that he envisions his company working together with German automotive competitors BMW and Volkswagen to further accelerate electric-vehicle battery technology. The three automakers recently worked together to enhance their in-car maps systems. Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche talked about "commonalities" between automakers, not the least of which is the need for all of them to achieve increasingly stringent fuel-economy requirements in the European Union, at the Frankfurt Auto Show last week, according to Reuters. While these companies have made their own inroads as far as plug-in vehicles go, they are all behind the Renault-Nissan Alliance when it comes to public deployment of electric vehicles. This summer, Daimler, Audi and BMW hooked up to acquire the Nokia Here digital-mapping service for about $2.8 billion. The triad of automakers beat out companies such as Apple and Uber to buy the entity, which was founded in 1986 as Navteq. Nokia bought the company in 2007. The acquisition makes sense as the automakers work on improving their products with features like cloud-based data to warn drivers of icy roads and traffic jams. The technology will likely also eventually be used in autonomous vehicles. Automakers working together for a common goal of improved technology is nothing new, of course. General Motors and Honda agreed in 2013 to work together to accelerate hydrogen fuel-cell drivetrain development. Earlier that same year, Daimler said it would work with Ford and Nissan in a separate collaboration to speed up the development of hydrogen fuel-cell technology. Related Video:

Audi goes out of this world to sell R8 at the Super Bowl

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Audi lets the new R8 V10 Plus blast off in the German brand's space-themed Super Bowl ad titled The Commander. The touching commercial puts a forlorn, retired astronaut behind the supercar's wheel, and he gets to relive the experience of leaving the bonds of Earth. Plus, David Bowie's Starman is the perfect choice for the score. Audi's ad makes the clever decision to link the supercar's rapid acceleration to a rocket launch in in viewers' minds. The spot also resonates emotionally because the retired astronaut only experiences the R8's performance because his son is worried about him. While not as humorous, we think the new spot does a better job of selling the R8's capabilities than the company's famous The Godfather Super Bowl commercial. The 60-second version of The Commander (above) will air during the game's first quarter. You can watch a 90-second cut below to enjoy a little more of the R8 and Bowie. SHOOTING FOR THE MOON, AUDI DEBUTS BIG GAME SPOT CALLED THE COMMANDER 60-second spot to air in first quarter of the big game Feb. 7 "The Commander" to feature the next-generation Audi R8, arriving in U.S. showrooms in Spring 2016 2016 marks return and eighth year for the brand as a big-game advertiser February 03, 2016 - HERNDON, Virginia -- Audi of America returns to the biggest night in football with a 60-second commercial titled "The Commander." A 90-second extended version of the spot is now live on the Audi YouTube channel. Featuring the all-new Audi R8 V10 plus, "The Commander" will air on Sunday, Feb. 7 during the first quarter of the Big Game. San Francisco-based Venables Bell & Partners created the commercial. "The Commander" tells the story of a retired astronaut who rediscovers his lust for life. Viewers watch as the man, surrounded by memories of the golden age of space exploration, sits solemnly, deep in reflection. When his son hands over the keys to a new Audi R8 V10 plus, he gets behind the wheel and relives the thrill of a rocket-like ride under the stars. Viewers watch as newfound life stirs within the Commander. Audi reminds us that amazing things happen when we shoot for the moon. The 2017 R8 is the fastest and most powerful Audi of all time. In its second generation, the all-new Audi R8 V10 plus has a top speed of 205 mph with a 3.2-second 0-60 mph time for "rocket-like" performance.
