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 rumored to leave top-tier endurance racing after 2017

Fri, Oct 14 2016

Volkswagen's ongoing diesel scandal is turning out to be an expensive problem for the German automaker. With a recent settlement expected to cost the company up to $14.7 billion, the company is scrambling to find ways to save cash. In light of this, Audi could be pulling out of the highest class of endurance racing, which it has dominated for years. A report from Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, indicates that Audi has already finalized the automaker's departure from the World Endurance Championship's top-tier LMP1 class after the 2017 season. Another report by Autocar cites an unnamed insider to corroborate the LMP1 exit rumors. The report fingers the VW Group's ongoing diesel scandal's financial fallout as the main culprit for Audi bowing out of LMP1. The move to could also be due to the group's decision to move away from diesel technology. Audi's LMP1 car, the R18, utilizes a V6 turbo-diesel engine. The Porsche 919 Hybrid, on the other hand, uses 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 engine that runs on gasoline. Audi has won the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans 13 times since 1999, making Audi an unstoppable force in endurance racing. Porsche, Audi's corporate sibling, reentered endurance racing with a LMP1 competitor of its own in 2014 and won the constructor's championship last year. Audi's decision to leave LMP1 could give Porsche a shot at creating its own Le Mans-winning dynasty. Autocar reports that Audi is expected to continue fielding cars in other WEC classes, like GT3 and GT4, and perhaps the brand will even enter Formula E. We reached out to Audi for some clarification on the matter and a spokesperson stated that the rumors were "pure speculation at this point."

Audi reveals Prologue Allroad concept ahead of Shanghai

Thu, Apr 16 2015

Audi kicked off the Prologue series of design studies with the coupe concept unveiled in LA, then followed up with the Prologue Avant wagon at the Geneva show. Now, we're seeing the third iteration in the form of the Prologue Allroad concept. Set to be unveiled next week at the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show, the Prologue Allroad picks up where the previous two left off, but takes it in a more rugged direction. At 16.8 feet, it's longer than both of the previous concepts, and stretches out to the same length as a standard-wheelbase A8. It also rides three inches higher than the Prologue Avant concept. Not only is it larger than the preceding showcars, it's also more powerful. Under the hood sits a hybrid powertrain that pairs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 to an electric motor integrated into eight-speed automatic transmission. Together they produce a whopping 738 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, driven to all four wheels to send the concept to 62 miles per hour in a scant 3.5 seconds – all the while returning a claimed equivalent of 98 miles per gallon. If that's not the best of both worlds, we don't know what is. Plus, the car packs an inductive charging system that Audi says it's developing for production. Massive 20-inch brake discs keep that performance in check, sitting inside 22-inch wheels, all mounted to an adaptive air suspension and four-wheel adaptive steering. Other exterior features include door lock sensors integrated into the window frame, Matrix laser headlights and LED taillights. Inside it's all angular yet elegant, swathed in dark blue, beige and brown. Display screens abound, stretching across the dashboard with a deployable OLED infotainment display in the center console. There's another OLED screen for the passengers in the pair of rear seats, who can also dock OLED tablets in the front seatbacks. A pop-up "sound spoiler" promises to envelop the cabin in music, and there's inductive charging for mobile devices as well. Together with its conceptual stablemates, the Prologue Allroad concept points towards a stylish and technologically advanced future for Ingolstadt, and we're looking forward to seeing this show car transition into production as the next A6 Allroad. In the meantime, you can scope out all the details in the press release below and view the concept from every angle, inside and out, in the slideshow above.

Audi to keep hiring workers despite VW diesel scandal

Tue, Oct 27 2015

Even while Volkswagen contemplates delaying or canceling projects to pay for costs related to the massive diesel emissions scandal, its stablemate Audi is hiring, according to Reuters. Audi certainly isn't immune to the diesel scandal, with around 2.1 million affected vehicles worldwide including 13,000-14,000 in the US, but the scandal so far isn't affecting staffing levels. "We are sticking with plans for strategic growth and are continuing to hire new employees as planned," Audi board member for human resources Thomas Sigi said in a German newspaper, according to Reuters. Sigi even suggested paying a "respectable" bonus to workers next year. Audi has some big projects on the horizon, too. Among them, the company intends to launch a production version of the E-Tron Quattro Concept in 2018, and for performance fans a new TT RS appears to be on the way. The new A4 should be a big contributor to global volume when its worldwide rollout is complete. Rather than allowing the diesel scandal to hurt all of its divisions, the VW Group instead wants to concentrate the fallout (and costs) on the VW brand, according to Reuters. Those expenses could be huge. Volkswagen is budgeting around $7.3 billion just to repair the 11 million emissions-cheating vehicles. Worldwide, maximum estimates put the whole mess at $87 billion.
