2009 Audi A4 Avant B8--prestige Package, S-line, Drive Select, One Owner Rare! on 2040-cars

Year:2009 Mileage:79760 Color: sold in US
Location:

 

For sale is my wife's 2009 Audi A4 2.0T Avant Quattro. Never been smoked in. Never in a wreck. Always parked in a heated garage, mostly hand washed and waxed. Detailed annually. Mature owners (at least she is). Dealer maintained with records.

We ordered it in July 2008 and paid $48,525 on 2/2/2009 for it. We purchased Thule roof crossbars, winter wheels and window tinting (all included). Carfax shows two owners as we leased it and when we bought out the lease they called it an ownership change.

The car has pretty much every option they offered except for navigation & 3rd row seating which bumped the price 40% over the base model ($34,500). This is really rare as the options pushed the price over the price of an A6 (started at $44,000) so very few were ordered out like this.

How rare are these? From Audi: "Our records reflect the following information:
· There were 2680 MY2009 A4 2.0T AVANT 4-DR AUTO QUATTRO sold in US.
· There were 359 MY2009 A4 2.0T AVANT 4-DR AUTO QUATTRO with IBIS WHITE exterior sold in US.
· There were 29 MY2009 A4 2.0T AVANT 4-DR AUTO QUATTRO with IBIS WHITE exterior and BLACK - S LINE interior sold in US."

I've driven lower spec versions of the A4 as dealer loaners and its like they are completely different cars. No comparison.

Negatives:
Ding in hood from a rock (touched up), Cracked paint on front air dam from curb in parking lot (estimate from local shop of $1000 to fix both). I didn't want fresh paint work to scare anyone off so I'll leave it to you.  Some curb rash on the 19" summer wheels but easily repairable. Summer tires are worn out, you can buy what you like. Both sets are included.

First photos are with summer wheels and are not super recent, but it looks the same. More recent photos & window sticker are here https://plus.google.com/photos/10323...CJrQo76Yqprsfw

I reserve the right to cancel this listing if car sells locally.

Audi previews sleek crossover concept ahead of Beijing debut

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

With the Beijing Motor Show approaching just a couple of weeks down the road, automakers have begun announcing the concept cars they have in store. Nissan has a new sedan concept coming, Lexus will reveal the production NX crossover and Citroën has a tempting sports sedan concept lined up for the Chinese auto expo. And now Audi has hinted at what it has in store.
Revealing only a trio of renderings with no details to accompany them so far, Audi appears to have a new crossover concept in the works. Referred to only as the Audi Showcar Beijing 2014, the brief calls for a five-door crossover with a rather coupe-like roofline, rugged lower body cladding and a flexible cabin with quad bucket seats.
The form bears telltale similarities to the new TT, suggesting that this concept could be a further evolution of the Allroad Shooting Brake concept that Audi revealed in Detroit. If put into production, we could see it wearing the Q4 badge, giving Ingolstadt a rival to the likes of the BMW X4, Porsche Macan and Range Rover Evoque. However, until Audi tells us otherwise, that's all speculation...

Audi promises next A8 on sale by year's end, LED Matrix lamps to be available [w/video]

Sun, 30 Jun 2013

Audi has just released details about its new Matrix LED headlamps, but just as illuminating as the new lighting technology is confirmation that the next A8 will appear "on the market at the end of 2013." While Audi is calling the model new, expectations - and the spy shots above - suggest more of a traditional mid-cycle refresh.
Audi says that its new A8 Matrix lights are comprised of 25 high-beam LEDs, clustered in groups of five paired with reflectors. Unlike traditional automatic high-beam setups, the Matrix array is so precise that it "blanks out light that would shine directly onto oncoming and preceding vehicles" while continuing to use full high-beam power on other sections of the road and shoulder not occupied by other vehicles. Further, the camera- and electronic brain-governed system can dim or extinguish LEDs as necessary to deal with traffic. The active system also differs from today's adaptive headlamps by not requiring servo motors to direct light, yet they can still function as cornering headlamps - ones that can predict a road's trajectory because they are linked with the car's GPS system. Interestingly, the system also works with Audi's optional night vision system. When the latter detects a pedestrian in the dark, it automatically flashes a batch of LEDs to put both the driver and pedestrian on notice about each others' presence.
Only one problem in all of this trick lighting business: they aren't legal here in the US, at least not yet. Audi and other automakers are currently petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, trying to sell the government agency on the technology's safety benefits. For the moment, Matrix headlamps are likely to remain forbidden fruit, but you can check them out and see what you might be missing in the video below. As for the 2015 A8, we're guessing it'll surface at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

2014 Audi S3 Cabriolet

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

Drivers are either droptop people or they're not. As most usually aren't - at least as far as the willingness to buy one is concerned - all convertibles tend to remain strictly niche cars. Thus, automakers must ask a noticeably higher price for them.
The Audi S3 Cabriolet is about as niche as you can get in the open daylight of mainstream automaking. Of course, the S3 cab doesn't really need to sell in big volumes; it exists because it's an easy and not too costly bit of flair for the company. In the US, this model would probably base out at around $44,000 if it were to join our fleet, which is problematic, as I'll soon explore.
In what may be a sign that Audi is essentially okay with all this, it had me up to central Sweden to twist around on the snow and ice in the open S3. The grounds ended up offering precious little ice and snow, so I drove the two-door ragtop on dusty, thawing Scandinavian roads. This was a blessing really, since ice driving in a cabrio - even a Quattro one - doesn't really reveal much of anything about such a car in its typical day-to-day life.
