I've owned this car since March of 2011, I purchased from the second owner, an older Polish guy in Northern Virginia who bought it from CarMax with 70k ish miles. It had 136,xxx miles on it when I bought, so in two years I've put 10k on it. I planned on not selling this for a long time, since I will never find another wagon this clean, even with the damage. However I recently bought a M3 and it needs a power steering rack. I've done a lot of maintenance to this over the time I've owned it, and usually upgraded the parts if I could since they needed replacing anyways. All the work was done by a good friend who is a technician for VW. The interior is very clean (never smoked in and I smoke), headliner has no stains, seats have no tears, all speakers work, & all windows work.

Details:
-147,4xx (will increase slightly)
-5 speed manual
-Melange Beige Metallic
-Black Leatherette (excellent condition)
-Auto-Dim Mirrors

Maintennace:
-All rotors: Zimmerman cross drilled & slotted $350 (Brakes done around 138k ish miles)
-All pads: Hawk HPS carbon ceramic $180
-Coolant expansion tank x2 (only buy OEM) $70 and cap $20
-New foglights $120 + Laminx $20
-Ziza headlight bulbs $30
-Lower radiator hose $60
-Coolant has been flushed probably 4 times
-Oil changed 3 times since I've owned it, every 4500 miles (Mobil 1 Synthetic 0w40, OEM filters, new crush washers) $60 every time
-ECS magnetic oil pan drain plug $15
-New battery $100 (actually had the OG battery still working until June of 2012)
-Timing Belt/Water Pump/Thermostat/Lightweight Crank Pulley/Belts $350
-Transmission and rear differential flushed with Royal Purple 75w90 $120 of fluid
-ECS magnetic transmission drain plug $20
-Power steering reservoir and cover both OEM $80
-OEM power steering fluid $25

-Labor for all of that even with the hookup $700-800

Bad:
-Washer fluid leaks so the light comes on
-Center display in cluster has missing pixels
-A/C needs a recharge (won't need it till summer though)
-Damage to the hatch and rear bumper, a truck hit the hatch at >5 MPH in a parking lot and the bumper was backed into outside my girl's dorm at night (BUT I have a Pre-Facelift "Euro" Hatch, and a rear S4 Bumper to go with the car, these parts weren't easy to come by.)

Needs:
-Passenger rear wheel bearing
-A/C belt tensioner

Audi A8 super high-tech headlight teased, whole car coming Aug 21

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

We have to wait one more week before we get to see the 2015 Audi A8 and S8, but it doesn't look like Audi is going to stay quiet until then. After releasing a pair of teaser videos over the last week, it has now released a first detailed picture of the new A8 revealing the trick Matrix LED headlight.
Between the high-beam and low-beam lights, the headlights contain 43 LEDs (not including those for the DRL/turn signal), but the innovative part of Matrix LED system is that a camera can control the high-beam lights - by either dimming them or shutting them off - when other vehicles are detected on the road to prevent the lights from distracting other drivers. Of course the big question remaining is if Audi can get these new headlights to pass the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The taillights also get a cool design with 24 LEDs that use a sequential turn signal
As for the debut of the A8 and S8, we already knew the sedans would be unveiled on August 21 ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, but Audi finally made it officially official in a press release, which is posted below. Also be sure to check out the pair of teaser videos Audi has released for these cars recently.

Audi TT Ultra Quattro Concept throws lightness at the problem

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

Audi is celebrating the 2013 Wörthersee Tour with a special concept version of the company's TT. The Audi TT Ultra Quattro concept tips the scales at just 2,449 pounds thanks to some extensive engineering work. The company pulled nearly 95 lbs from the car's body structure and used carbon-fiber reinforced plastics for many of its detachable body components. As a result, the concept weighs in at a full 220 pounds lighter than its production counterpart. Throw in a wicked turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 310 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and you get a machine with the power to weight ratio in the supercar realm. 0-60 comes up in 4.2 seconds and top speed is listed at 173 mph.
Inside, the TT Ultra Quattro features plenty of carbon fiber trim, and designers also fitted the seats from the R8 GT to save a little weight. The buckets use CFRP for the seat frames, saving nearly 50 pounds in the process. In a world where automakers seem blind to the negative effect of throwing more heft at a vehicle, we're in love with the Ultra Quattro concept. Check out the full press release below for more information.

The Aston Martin DB11 leads this month's list of discounts

Wed, Mar 10 2021

We've got something of a broken record to report this month. The 2020 Acura NSX and 2020 Aston Martin DB11 have swapped places atop the discounts leaderboard for a fourth month in a row. For the month of March 2011, it's the British entry again in the lead. The DB11 earns top billing with an average discount of $24,614 off its sticker price, meaning buyers are paying an average transaction price of $177,206. That still a large suitcase full of bills, but at least it means buyers get to stare at a drop-dead beautiful coupe in their driveways with as much as 630 horsepower underhood. And if you love Aston Martin's svelte sense of style but don't want to spend quite so much money, you could always choose the 2020 Vantage that's selling for around $143,000. That's nearly $13,600 off that car's sticker, which is enough to land in seventh spot overall. Up next, as we've come to expect, is the Acura NSX. The hybrid-powered supercar from Japan is selling for $137,663 on average this month, which represents a $22,340 discount and seems like an exceptional deal for a 573-horsepower technological marvel that can scoot from 0-60 in just 2.9 seconds. That also represents the largest percentage of savings off the sticker this month. In third place for the month is the Audi R8, making March the second straight month that this trio of supercars has led the list of discounts. Buyers are saving $18,331 off the R8's sticker, which equals an average transaction price of $175,508. That's awfully close to the selling price of the DB11, for those lucky enough to be deciding between the two. Related Video: Driving Iron Man's Favorite Supercar, The Acura NSX | Translogic 215
