Austin, Texas, United States
|
2008 Audi A3 S Line Hatchback Transmission: Manual, becoming a rarity in the modern world of automobile manufacturing but I still prefer to feel like I am driving the car. The gears are light, smooth, and easy. 4 cylinder 6 speed S-Line features: Front and rear alloy wheels with 17 inch rim diameter and 7.5 inch rim width; Alternate suspension; Luxury trim alloy & leather on gearknob and alloy on doors; Leather covered multi-function steering wheel; Remote audio controls; Roof spoiler; Front fog lights; Leather seat upholstery with additional vinyl; Sports driver and passenger seat; Illuminated driver and passenger vanity mirror; Illumination package No cigarette lighter, instead 12V power outlet for adapter or phone charger etc. MP3 dock in the glove compartment Single CD \ AM \ FM Bluetooth wireless connection; voice activating system Steering wheel has as mp3/radio/bluetooth control Cup holders in front: 2 in center between seats. Cup holders in back: 2 in center pop out of the heel of the front center console. Child seat attachments in back, I have never used this option, I believe there is room for two seats (pictures should show this). No smoking. No pets. No kids. Minimal passengers have been in the vehicle. Drivers seat has some signs of use, small crack in leather on left due to general driving time. Overall not a lot of wear and tear or creases. I am lightweight. Drivers side carpet appears used as expected but no huge spills etc. (floor mats are not expensive for replacement) Passenger side (front) seat looks good. Passenger side (front) carpet has some sign of use, no large spills etc. Overall looks good. Backseats fold down for expansive trunk use. The car is smaller than most cars in a (Texas) parking lot but the inside packs a shocking amount of goods when the seats are folded down. Backseat appears almost brand new due to lack of use and passengers. Back carpet nearly spotless. A few tiny scrapes on a couple of the rims. Sorry, not too noticeable at least. Minor scrapes and pinpoint dings may be seen after a thorough assessment of the body. I cannot help the carelessness of others, but once again nothing too noticeable. Left back side panel has an indent which may be seen in the pictures but could easily be pressed out at a body shop. I do not know how it got there but someone either threw a mudpack at it while parallel parked downtown, or they used mud to cover up the dent. Either way, it was not noticed until I washed the car and have not fixed it. One (not my fault) accident was reported and is listed on the Auto check report. No structure damage and no problems after the vehicle was repaired. A nice guy turned from the center lane into my car to make a left turn down a street however he was in the center lane and I was in the left lane minding my own business. There is honestly nothing noticeable after the repairs however I can now say that Audi feels extremely safe in an accident! There is a lifetime warranty with the body shop if anything associated with the accident is ever to become a problem. Paperwork included. Air conditioning and heat work normal. Never any issues. All windows and locks work normal. Never any issues. Overall performance of this vehicle is great. No complaints. I would buy it again. I am only selling the car because I do not drive much and now work from home. Car to go is not as nice to drive as this car, however it is my choice for the time being. Mileage: 54,650 Keys: one normal + one valet Title: USAA holds the title, which is in the sole owner's name (my name) - USAA is 100% secure and easy to work with for transfer of title I am a fair person. I want to give you a good deal. Price adjustments have been made for any issues that I have listed here. Please let me know if you would like any further information or if you are interested in my vehicle. I am easy to talk to and deal with. I love this car and it will be good to you if you are good to it. Location: Austin, TX 78703 Price: $13,250 |

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
2015 Audi A3 configurator is up and running
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Potential customers for the new Audi A3 should set aside some time during their lunch breaks to head over and build their ideal example of the new sedan. The official configurator, complete with pricing and options, has gone live on the Audi website.
Customers can choose from three trim levels (Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige), while each trim can be had with either the Volkswagen Group's familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged, 220-horsepower four-cylinder or a 1.8-liter, turbocharged, 170-horsepower four-cylinder. Buyers of the 2.0-liter will enjoy Quattro all-wheel drive while power for the 1.8T is channeled through the front wheels only. A six-speed, S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission is standard across the range.
You can check out full pricing on the A3 right here, but as a means of recap, the base Premium trim with the 1.8-liter engine starts at $29,900. A Premium Plus 1.8T starts $32,800 and the Prestige 1.8T will cost $38,700. Adding a 2.0-liter turbo and Quattro increases the price by $3,000, regardless of trim. Those prices don't include an $895 destination charge.
Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
