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
-Better condition steering wheel $75
-034 snub mount $65
-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
-Rear tires (showing secondary rubber)

Audi celebrates diesel milestone with triple-charged RS5 TDI concept

Thu, 29 May 2014

Diesels are typically slower than their gasoline counterparts, but leave it to Audi to turn that notion on its head. After dominating Le Mans and the international endurance racing scene under diesel power for the better part of a decade, the German automaker toyed with the idea of an oil-burning R8 for the road and ultimately made its first performance crossover a diesel. It's made the letters TDI a battle cry, and now it's yelling even louder with the RS5 TDI concept.
Set to be unveiled in a couple of days at the Leipzig Auto Show to celebrate 25 years of the TDI engine, the concept ditches the gasoline-burning 4.2-liter V8 in the production RS5 in favor of a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo-diesel with an electric supercharger added on to combat turbo lag. Output comes in at 385 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, which means that while it has 65 fewer horses than the gasoline model, it packs a staggering 236 lb-ft more torque.
The result of the triple-charged madness is a 0-62 time around four seconds flat, trumping the 4.6 seconds for the road-going model. Top speed, of course, is electronically limited to 155 miles per hour, which is a bit of a shame because we bet it'd be a kick to pass a Porsche on the Autobahn in a diesel, now wouldn't it?

First official Audi R8 photo leaks

Thu, Feb 26 2015

The next-gen Audi R8 makes its grand debut in a just a few days at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. However, leaks aren't uncommon for such a highly anticipated model, and it appears that the first official shot of the future supercar is now online. Autoblog en Espanol claims this is the first leaked factory photo showing the new Audi R8 completely undisguised. The single image depicts the supercar from the front, and it looks a lot like both Audi's own official teaser and the previous blurry image from Instagram. Based on this picture, the German designers thickened the outline around the grille at the front and added vertical slats at each corner. They also removed the gentle curve in the headlights in favor of a completely angular look. While the side blades were one of the major styling features of the original, their appearance has been toned down by removing the vertical, contrasting strip running up the body. Though the exterior design seems to evolve the R8 slightly, there are some big changes for the powertrain. Audi is ditching the V8 for the latest model and opting for two tunes of the 5.2-liter V10. The standard version gets 540 horsepower, and the Plus pushes output up to 610 hp. The top trim can reportedly hit 60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 205 mph. Although, there are already the rumors of other variants, including a turbo V6, coming later. Related Video:
