For more details, please do not hesitate to call me at 419-701-4730. This vehicle was purchased by me in November of 2013. The vehicle was involved in a flood, and water came up to under the seats; damaging a lot of the electrical components, locking the seat in place, etc. The vehicle, when shipped to me from Florida, was completely drivable, albeit for the driver's seat locked in the "all the way back" position. I purchased and replaced the driver's seat, and have been driving the car since.

The car really is fantastic. I ended up purchasing a new set of wheels/tires for the winter, which will also be included. The wheels are from TireRack. I cannot link them directly, but they are: 18x8 Black Painted MSW Type 19 and the tires themselves are Blizzak WS70s. The wheels/tires are obviously very new, and cost ~1200$ last December.


The following items are still in need of replacement/repair/troubleshooting. The parts themselves are typically not expensive (the most expensive being the passenger seat, at ~500 online)
1) Passenger seat. The seat is about 1/2 way back currently, allowing for passengers to sit comfortably, assuming they're not too tall. My wife sits in it fine, and she's 5'6". The seat will need removed, wiring under the seat cleaned up, and new seat installed.
2) Electrical system troubleshooting: Currently, only the driver's side window works. Further electrical troubleshooting would be needed to get the other windows functional.
3) MMI is currently non functional. The amp in the trunk was damaged in the flood, and replaced. However, the MMI controls themselves are all dark; my assumption is they got wet in the flood. The screen is high up enough to have been spared in the flood, but the MMI controls/associated electrical components may have been hit. 
4) Passenger side seat belt. The seat belt itself is fine, but the retraction mechanism got wet, and now it no longer wants to retract. I have purchased a replacement seat belt unit, and will be including it in the car.
5) There is a CEL related to misfire on Cylinder 5; in researching it, there looks to be an Audi-ECU flash that fixes the problem in 2012 model year vehicles. However, due to no warranty, I cannot get the flash, at least for free. My original, long term plan was to purchase GoAPR's ECU tune for the car, but for right now the CEL is active.
6) Parking Brake Light: This is related to the "Parking Brake ECU" that is located under the passenger's seat, and/or the parking brake switch/button on the center console.
7) TPMS alert: This is related to the fact I swapped out wheels/tires during the winter, and was unable to reset the TPMS via the non-functional MMI. TPMS in these cars is sensor-less, so there are no sensors in the rims themselves, they just need to be reset in the MMI.
8) Airbag light: This is related to the airbag sensors in the passenger seat.

One thing I will stress is the unknown; these are what I know is wrong with the vehicle. Being a flood/salvage/rebuilt title car, I hold no responsibility to what else might be damaged, or needing repair. I've been daily-driving the car for the last several months, and I see no issues outside of what's been noted, but the "Buyer Beware" should be obvious. I will be happy to share any and all information I have; just give me a call and I can go over what's-what with the car. 

As for financing the vehicle, from my experience anyway, I had no issue getting a used car loan for it. That said, I am paying off the lien with this sale, and will obviously process and ship out the title ASAP. Please do your due diligence if you plan to finance it; for me, I simply did one of the "check ready" car loans from PNC, and they never even asked/cared about the Rebuilt Title. Geico, likewise, made no note of it. The vehicle is priced well under the KBB value, so loans should be fairly flexible, if you decide to go that route.


The original seller's remarks on the car are here. Obviously the mileage has changed. The vehicle was sold from a dealer who purchased it in auction, so he was not the original owner of the vehicle.

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.

Audi Recalling Nearly 102,000 Cars To Fix Air Bags

Wed, Nov 5 2014

Audi is recalling nearly 102,000 luxury cars in the U.S. because the front air bags may not inflate in a crash. The recall covers certain A4 and S4 cars from the 2013 through 2015 model years, plus the 2013 through 2015 Audi allroad. Audi says that it is part of a wider global recall that the company announced last week covering about 850,000 vehicles from the 2013 to 2015 model years. Dealers will update an improperly programmed air bag control module to fix the problem sometime this month. Audi said that in rare cases the air bags may not inflate in a secondary impact. That can increase the risk of injury. No crashes or injuries have been reported in the U.S. or Europe, an Audi spokesman said. But the company is checking a small number of cases in Europe to see if they are linked to air bag programming. The company said in documents posted by U.S. safety regulators that the problem was discovered in tests done in August. Related Gallery Our Favorite Hot And Sporty Cars For 2015 Recalls Audi airbag

Chocolate-covered Audi TT is more treat than trick

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

'Tis the season of chocolate, and as we sit at our desks eating entirely too many Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, we're left salivating over this particular Audi TT. Aside from the fact that it's the new, third-generation model, which is a darn desirable in and of itself, it's also covered in chocolate. Yes, chocolate.
There are 27,000 individual pieces on this two-door coupe, and they've been affixed courtesy of Belgian chocolatiers Joost Arijs. The sweet car was developed for a lifestyle and design exhibition in Kortrijk, Belgium.
Take a look at the confectionary-covered coupe in the video from WOW TV.
