A new house purchase is forcing me to sell the car I've always wanted, this B7 S4 Avant. The following description details the car's condition, which is extremely clean and well taken care of by it's 3 owners. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions on what I may have missed.

Exterior:
The paint shines beautifully, and appears to be all original. Road abrasion on front bumper and hood is minimal, especially considering the 119,000 on the odometer. There are no dents, dings, scratches or chips of significance, with one exception as described: There is one area on the rear bumper 1.25"x2" where the paint is chipped off that needs attention. I planned to have this resprayed, but decided to show this blemish during the sale so as not to hide it.

All the glass is in excellent condition and free of chips or scratches. There is a light tinting applied to the windows, done professionally, and in good taste.
All trim work is in place and void of any dings or scratches and shines brightly.
The lighting lenses are clear and free of cracks, front and rear. The fog lights are amber, which I believe is an aftermarket addition.
The factory roof rack is in perfect condition, with no scratches from misuse.
There are Audi accessory mud flaps at all 4 corners, which do a great job of keeping the road grime off the paintwork.
There is clear film protecting the headlights and all 4 door edge areas.
The factory Avus wheels are mounted with factory correct Michelin Sport Pilot 235/40/ZR18 high performance tires, with approximately 40% tread depth remaining. 2 of the Avus wheels have some curb rash. The other 2 wheels are in excellent shape. A thief decided to steal the Audi ring inner caps, so those are missing. Argh! All the wheels were recently balanced and checked out to be true, requiring minimal weights to balance.

Interior:
The all black Recaro leather interior is in near perfect condition. There is very light wear to the outside bolsters of the driver and passenger seats, as would be expected of 119,000 miles of use. But there is no cracking in the leather and it is still very supple and acceptable in appearance. The rest of the leather looks factory new. Carpets in excellent condition with no tears, holes or stains evident. Included are factory rubber mats, including the cargo area mat, also in perfect condition. All door panels, headliner(black), dash and door sills are in perfect condition with no signs of wear.
All switchgear is in working order, including all window lifts, sunroof, central locking, power seats, seat memory, outside mirrors, rear defrost, all interior lighting, front and rear seat heaters, factory iPod hookup in glovebox. Audi OEM Symphony II 6 disk in dash changer stereo system sounds excellent.
There is a JHM short throw shifter installed, and it operation is direct and without issue.

Mechanicals:
The quad cam 4.2L 340HP V8 runs strong, idles smoothly and sounds like it means it when you step on it.
It handles and stops as an S4 should.
The S4 has a clear Vermont title, with a **REBUILT VEHICLE** designation stated on it. Here's the story on it:
Car was sold new in Chicago to a gentleman who put ~42,000 miles on it, who in turn sold it to a gentlemen in California.
The 2nd owner in CA put 9000 miles on the S4, at which time he drove through a large puddle, and took water into the motor. This occurred at 50,996 miles. His story of what happened next follows(verbatim):
"I was driving during a torrential rainstorm down here in Los Angeles. I drove through a large puddle and by random (bad) luck sucked water into the air intake(which is a regular old stock airbox with a paper filter) which made its way into the engine. The car sputtered and puttered a little bit before conking out. I took the car to a local reputable Audi specialist shop and AAA(my insurance company) was called. The verdict was "there is a spun bearing on the main crankshaft, and most likely some other damage to the engine as well"(I honestly don't quite know what a spun bearing is, but the insurance adjuster is the one that relayed to me what the damage was, and whey the car was being deemed a total loss.)
Now if you are wondering why AAA deemed it a total loss, here is what the AAA agent told me:
AAA's policy is that any engine replacement they do because of a claim will always be with a brand new engine. They WILL NOT put used motors into cars(as the quality and condition of the motor cannot be known 100%) Audi doesn't sell brand new engines for a 2006 S4 anymore. He told me that he checked with Audi and they only sell engines for current model vehicles. So that right there was the nail in the proverbial coffin to having AAA insurance fix the car. The appraiser/assessor said he wanted to fix the car, but that given their policy h
e unfortunately had to total it out.
Just to be crystal clear again. THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS TO THE MOTOR. It wasn't in an accident resulting in frame, mechanical or body damage. I didn't drive it into a river, there is no water in the engine compartment or on the electronics. It ONLY sucked water into the intake and then into the motor itself and sustained a bad case of hydrolock. It simply needed a new motor."

The 2nd owner decided to replace the motor and contracted Raven Motorsports in Long Beach, CA to perform the motor replacement with a low mileage 4.2L from a 2006 S4. Work was completed on March 18, 2010 at the cost of $7,518.87. I have the full receipts showing this work. The motor has performed trouble free for the past 4 years and ~65,000 miles.
I was not able to find any signs of body damage or paint work ever done to the car when I purchased it, and the vehicle history report supports this.

Additional performance enhancements are a AWE Tuning stainless steel exhaust system, and a K&N air filter.
The car was recently serviced locally, and thoroughly checked through for any needed items.
A tune up was performed, new plugs and 3 coils installed, oil and filter change, and new front brake rotors and pads.
Service records are available with the sale. I also have the original window sticker with books and manuals

Overall, the car is extremely clean, solid and drives beautifully.

New Audi Quattro concept coming to Frankfurt?

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

We first saw the Audi Quattro Concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, and since then we've been tugged this way and that by a series of rumors as to whether the car will be built or not, and whether such a car will live at the accessible or the exalted end of the cost spectrum. A report in Germany's Auto Zeitung from June restarted the fires of gossip with a report that a production version of the concept will appear at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and put it firmly in the exalted sphere.
Now, just a month from the show, Auto Bild has a similar report, sketching out an upmarket car but on a different platform. Back when we drove it, the Quattro concept was built on a spaceframe based on the RS5 platform and got its go from a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine with 380 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque (the show car got 408 hp from a turbocharged five-cylinder). The June report from Auto Zeitung said this new reveal would be powered by a modified version of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 from the RS7 that would put out something like 650 hp. Auto Bild, on the other hand, reports that the engine will be tuned to something like 600 hp and the new concept will ride on an "enhanced" version of the A6 platform.
Both reports agree that the car we'll see will preview Audi's new design language with "tauter, more angular lines." Lightweight and exotic materials will be used in efforts to reach a supposed target weight of 1,200 kilograms (2,640 pounds), down from a target of 2,900 pounds in earlier report. Auto Bild says that Audi still hasn't decided whether to make a production version, but if they are correct about the direction of the concept, any retail offering based on it isn't going to be cheap.

Audi introduces Q7 E-Tron 2.0 TFSI in Shanghai

Thu, Apr 16 2015

Audi made a name for itself with its Quattro all-wheel-drive system, and is rapidly expanding its range of E-Tron hybrids. And now it's bringing the two together for the first time with the new Q7 E-Tron 2.0 TFSI. The company's first vehicle to combine a turbocharged engine, hybrid assist and all-wheel drive, the Audi Q7 E-Tron 2.0 TFSI boasts all the enhancements wrought on Ingolstadt's new flagship crossover, but with a range of over 633 miles – nearly 33 of them on electric power alone. The powertrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo four with an electric motor that combine to deliver 367 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That's said to be enough to send the hybrid luxury crossover to 62 in 5.9 seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 136 miles per hour, while boasting fuel efficiency of a claimed 94 miles per gallon. Unfortunately, however, the Q7 E-Tron is earmarked only for specific Asian markets Â– namely China, Singapore and Japan. So don't count on seeing this hybrid crossover in US showrooms any time soon Â– at least not in this specification. Ingolstadt, 2015-04-16 Great class, minimal emissions Â– the new Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro - First TFSI plug-in hybrid with quattro all-wheel drive - Best-in-class: up to 53 kilometers (32.9 mi) electric range - Maximum efficiency with hybrid management and heat pump - Available for Asian markets The Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro marks the first time that Audi has combined a TFSI plug-in hybrid with quattro all-wheel drive. Audi developed it specially for Asian markets (China, Singapore and Japan). It is sporty, comfortable and at the same time supremely efficient. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in under six seconds while consuming just 2.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (94.1 US mpg) according to the measurement method specified in China for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV). Audi is presenting the Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro at Auto Shanghai. According to the measurement method specified in China for PHEVs, the large SUV can cover up to 53 kilometers (32.9 mi) solely on the electricity stored in its lithium-ion battery Â– quietly, powerfully and with zero local emissions. Total range is 1,020 kilometers (633.8 mi). The Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro will be available beginning in 2016. Sporty power and minimum consumption The Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro has sporty power.

2016 Audi A6 to start at $46,200, A7 begins at $68,300

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Audi has announced pricing on the new A6 sedan and A7 four-door coupe, with the former starting at $46,200 for a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and front-wheel drive. Of course, things can and do climb rapidly from there. Adding Quattro all-wheel drive to the four-cylinder model bumps the price up $2,200, while moving from the base Premium to the mid-level Premium Plus trim will add $3,700, regardless of the drivetrain. Speaking of that Premium trim, it's only available on the 2.0-liter A6. Every other variant starts with the Premium Plus. At that point, the cheapest six-cylinder you can get is the $57,400 model, while the diesel-powered A6 TDI starts at $59,500. Moving up to the top-end Prestige trim bolsters the price by $4,200, for both engines. If you fancy the sleeker lines of the A7, the entry-level 3.0-liter Premium Plus can be had for $68,300, while the TDI runs $70,400. While the starting price is higher than the A6, adding the Prestige trim is more reasonable, with both engines demanding $2,650 for the top-tier equipment level. And of course, we can't get away without mentioning Audi's high-performance models. A base S6 Premium Plus begins at $70,900, while the Prestige is $75,300. The S7 and RS7, both of which are limited to the Prestige trim level, start at $82,900 and $108,900, respectively. None of the above prices include the standard $925 destination charge.
