1995 Audi S6 Avant on 2040-cars
Arlington, Virginia, United States
|
I am selling my 1995 Audi S6 Avant. If you know anything about the '95 S6 Avant you know there are less than 300 of these on the road in the US currently. I bought it with the intention of fixing it up it but I have the opportunity to buy one of my dream cars so I have to sell the S6 to raise money. I will try to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible.
1995 Audi S6 Avant, black on gray. 153821 miles. 5 speed manual, power seats, windows, mirrors, door locks, etc. The good: Rebuilt front suspension, new Bilstein shocks, lower control arms, upper strut mounts, strut bearings, left outer tie rod end and sway bar bushings. Upgraded igniton system to Apikol coil conversion, car runs well and pulls hard, has MTM stage 1 chip. Front brake pads are pretty new, have lots of life left on them A/C and heat work great, I just replaced the blend door actuator. Clutch has plenty of life, transmission shifts smoothly. Replaced transmission mounts, front axles have been rebuilt recently (have receipts from previous owner on axles) Cylinder head was replaced with a used head with 70k miles on it, have receipts for this too. Locking rear differential is working. Interior is in pretty good shape (minus a sagging headliner) drivers seat has 2 small holes but no rips or tears in bolster. Passenger near perfect No real cracks to speak of either. I have used leatherique on the seats since I've owned it and they are pretty supple now. HID conversion, works great with stock projectors. Bose stereo works and sounds great, surprisingly good for a car of this vintage. Comes with 2 sets of wheels, original 16" Avus wheels and the 18" VW wheels pictured on the car. The VW wheels are a bit bent and the Avus wheels are straight but with no tires. I can include a set of used but good tires on the stock wheels if you wish. Power windows and mirrors work, heated front and rear seats work with the exception of the drivers seat. Have flushed the brake and clutch systems since I've owned it as well as the cooling system. Engine is strong and the turbo makes a lot of boost, its really a blast to drive, especially in its current condition, its quite a sleeper. I get about 18mpg driving it moderately in some stop and go traffic, so its even pretty efficient for what it is. The Not So Good: Obviously, it needs a paint job, but there is no rust on the vehicle so there is that as a plus. Lower door trim pieces need replacing, parts can be had for about $50 here on ebay. Drivers heated seat and power seat does not work. Has 4 different memory settings that work and cover a wide range of seating positions, so I have been able to find a comfortable seating position without the side control working. I will try to resolve this issue before the vehicle is sold. The input shaft seal is leaking on the transmission, I have the part just have not had a chance to install it yet. I can install it if you'd like for a nominal fee, I also have the rear main seal I was going to do at the same time, not sure if it's leaking too, but I like to cover all bases. The leak isn't terrible, I checked the fluid level and fluid came out of the fill plug after about 3oz of fluid was added, so it's not too severe, no clutch slippage. As stated above the headliner is sagging and could use re-gluing. Front bumper is damaged, I am going to try and fix it best I can before the sale, one of the supports is broken behind where the lower grille sits (center and left side grilles are needed as they are broken, can be had here on ebay for not much money at all) I will try to fabricate some sort of bracket to secure it. Right rear caliper was seized when I got the car, I have since freed it but the pads need to be changed in the rears due to uneven wear. I can include an OEM pad set if wanted. Overall the car is in pretty good mechanical shape, but could some cosmetic restoration. I would really love to keep this as a project car, but it needs to go so I can take advantage of this opportunity to buy the car I've wanted for while. As you can see the title says it exceeds mechanical limits on the odometer. This box was checked by mistake by the previous owner... The odometer is digital and as you can see from the history report, the mileage is all in order, not sure why he didn't fix this before he titled it. I've tried to describe it as accurately as possible, I'm sure I'm forgetting something so please don't hesitate to email me with questions, offers, setup a test drive, anything. Make me a good enough offer and I will end the auction early as I need it gone fast. If you meet my buy it now price I will fix the input shaft seal leak, throw some tires on the stock wheels and include a set of 18 inch Avus wheels (from a 2002 S6) with good Michelin PS2s for free. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sun, Jun 14 2015The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.

Audi reveals all-new R8 ahead of Geneva debut
Thu, Feb 26 2015This year's Geneva Motor Show is shaping up to be an absolutely orgy of supercars, but though there will be many that will surely outperform it, few have been as hotly anticipated as the arrival of the all-new, second-generation Audi R8. And here it is. Based around an all-new Audi Space Frame chassis, the new R8 is constructed of a higher proportion of aluminum and carbon fiber than its predecessor. The result is a frame that weighs 15 percent less at just 441 pounds – yet is 40 percent more torsionally rigid - tipping the scales at 3,205 lbs in top spec. Into the middle of that frame Audi has installed a revised version of its 5.2-liter V10, eschewing turbochargers but incorporating new technologies. While other powertrain options are expected to follow, Ingolstadt has gone straight for the top of the range at launch: the 'base' V10 model kicks out 540 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque to reach 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 201 mph. The upgraded V10 Plus, however, turns those figures up to 610 hp and 413 lb-ft to reach 62 in just 3.2 seconds, 124 in under ten and a 205-mph top speed. All the while, Audi has also equipped the new ten-cylinder engine with both direct and indirect injection, stop/start and cylinder deactivation systems to cut fuel consumption by 10 percent. It also boasts dry-sump lubrication and a variable exhaust system. Power is transmitted to the road through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, a mechanical diff and a revised Quattro all-wheel drive system that can send 100 percent of available torque to either the front or rear axle. Aluminum wishbones suspend it all on 19-inch wheels (or optional 20s), with available variable steering and carbon ceramic brakes (optional on the V10 and standard on the V10 Plus). Underbody aerodynamics generate more downforce and a more slippery form, aided by a deployable rear spoiler (or a fixed carbon wing on the Plus model). All those tantalizing greasy bits are cloaked in fresh aluminum sheet-metal, riding on a track that's 1.6 inches wider: the whole shebang stretches 14.5 feet long, 6.4 feet wide and 4.1 feet high, riding on an 8.7-foot wheelbase. Among the myriad new technologies developed for the new R8 are the full LED headlights with optional laser high beams (where they're legal, at least, which currently doesn't include these United States).
