     My 2002 Audi S8 is up for sale. Metallic Black with black leather interior. This car was on my short-list of cars to own since back in the 1990's. Upon finding one here close to me in South Florida three years ago and taking it for a test drive, I knew immediately I had found my new car. It's a true beast, without a doubt the best car I've ever owned. It still turns heads everywhere I go. The styling has aged quite well and it carries quite a presence traveling down the road. 

     I am the third owner and bought the car with 86,000 miles. The odometer now reads 94,873. The vehicle has spent practically its entire life here in south Florida. All services have been performed by The Collection, Audi Pembroke Pines or well known Audi independent repair facilities here in the South Florida area. I have all records from 2006 until the present and they will be included with the sale. 

     I am very particular about my cars (almost to a fault-ask my wife) and am trying to disclose everything I can about the automobile so that any potential buyer can feel confident in knowing what they are getting. Upon purchasing the car I knew it was due for a timing chain service (a costly procedure). This was performed immediately along with a full inspection of the car for any other preventative maintenance that could be performed. I had the following done:

     - The timing belt job mentioned above consisting of the belt itself, the dampers, levers, rollers, and serpentine belt. 
     - The thermostat was also replaced at this point as a preventative measure and as it is easy to reach with the belt service being performed. 
     - I also replaced the water pump and had them flush all coolant. 
     - The air cleaner/element was replaced along with the cabin air filter. 
     - An Audi standard 80,000 mile service check was taken care of as well (too much to type). 
     - The engine oil filter was replaced along with fresh oil (100% synthetic) and new spark plugs were installed. 
     - Finally, the transmission fluid, filter and gasket were all removed and replaced. 
      
     The total for this service alone was over $3,000.

     
     The price reflects the small repairs that are needed. 

-- The front left foglight is missing after the front bumper catching the pavement (a common problem with these D2 A/S8's). Also the right washer mechanism popped out at this time. 

-- The drivers window regulator failed causing the window to fall off track and subsequently crack itself against the frame (again, a common problem/fault with these cars). You can see      
   clearly in the pictures. The glass is double paned, so there is no leakage whatsoever thankfully. I went ahead and found a donor window off a totaled S8 to replace it with along with a 
   new regulator. The rear drivers window had a small hairline crack at the very top corner when I bought the car (unable to be seen with the window rolled up - why I missed it originally) so 
   the rear window from the same donor S8 was purchased at this time. 

-- The passenger mirror housing had developed a small crack from the hot sun here in south Florida and the drivers mirror motor was acting up by not automatically tilting downward when 
   the car was placed in reverse, so I also purchased a pair of left and right mirrors (again from the same donor S8 automobile). 

-- The interior door trim is coming loose on the front driver and rear right passenger doors and will need to be corrected. An easy fix.

-- There are small nicks on the front from normal road use and a small scuff on the right rear door trim. Keep in mind that though the car has been well taken care of, it is twelve years old, so it will show light signs of wear. Just see the pictures for verification.

     I was about to send the car in to get these repairs done but due to another car purchase I am willing to take a loss here. ALL PARTS I bought (front drivers window, rear drivers window, drivers window regulator, driver and passenger mirrors and front bumper washer assembly WILL BE INCLUDED in the sale price. These parts alone cost well over $1,600. Once again -- my loss, your gain.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I'm asking $12,500 though I am accepting reasonable offers. Buyer is responsible for shipping though I would be willing to help somewhat depending on your situation - communicate with me what you may need.

I should add that the car is also listed for sale locally here in the Fort Lauderdale area and I reserve the right to end this listing early.

-- So someone asked: "Why then would I sell her?"  I've decided to upgrade to a D3 W12 and would rather sell my car outright than trade her in, get a lowball price, and possibly have it end up at auction or worse. These cars deserve a loving owner who is willing to maintain them and love them. This car was on my short-list of cars to own since seeing the movie Ronin back in the 1990's. Upon finding one here close to me in South Florida three years ago and taking it for a test drive, I knew immediately I had found my new car. It's a true beast, without a doubt the best car I've ever owed. It still turns heads everywhere I go. The styling has aged quite well and it carries quite a presence traveling down the road. I will be happy to answer any and all questions you may have for me though I really have tried to be as thorough as possible here. Nevertheless, ask your questions before you bid. I don't want to deal with uncommitted bidders if at all possible. Below are further specs:

2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed

Tue, Jan 13 2015

There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements.

In partnership with the North American International Auto Show (www.naias.com) in Detroit, The One Club today unveiled the best automotive ads from around the world in five categories: broadcast TV, online video, interactive, experiential advertising, and print & outdoor. Winners will be presented on-stage at a special event during the NAIAS Press Preview on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at the Cobo Center in Detroit at 4:55 p.m. The event is sponsored by AOL's Autoblog.

Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.

2014-15 Audi SQ5 recalled for steering issue

Wed, Jul 29 2015

Audi is recalling 5,625 SQ5 crossovers from model years 2014 and 2015 due to a fault in the electric power-assisted steering system. The affected vehicles were built between May 22, 2013 and April 14, 2015. The vehicles in question may experience power-steering shutdowns in cold conditions. Good thing the US' average July temperature sits in the mid 70s. The actual root of the problem is a fault in the steering motor sensor, according to the bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While manual steering would still be available, the sudden loss of power could catch drivers off guard, increasing the chances of a crash. Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified by Audi USA, and will need to report into dealers for a software update to the power steering control module. Scroll on down for the official notification from Audi. Report Receipt Date: JUL 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V452000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 5,625 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Audi SQ5 vehicles manufactured May 22, 2013, to April 14, 2015. The affected vehicles have an electric power steering assist system that may shut down in cold temperatures due to a steering motor sensor fault. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a loss of power steering assist, extra steering effort will be required at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will update the power steering control module software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 28, 2015. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 48M1. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
