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.

Justin Bell laps Willow Springs... in the dark... using only night vision

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Night vision has made its way into quite a few luxury cars as a night-driving safety feature, but eBay Motors wanted to see if the technology could be used to actually drive the car. Former racer and World's Faster Car Show host Justin Bell grabbed the keys to an Audi A7 and headed to Willow Springs Raceway to find out.
As if driving in the dark of the desert night wasn't hard enough, the car's windshield and side windows were blacked out, so Bell's driving relied completely on the three-inch night vision display located in the gauge cluster. In addition to navigating the track, his producers also threw in a few surprises for Bell on the track. We don't want to spoil too much for you, but based on the speeds exhibited in the video, we don't think 24-hour endurance races will be adding this tech any time soon; that being said, he probably drove the car faster and better than we could have.
Scroll down to watch how Bell does lapping the track using only the car's night vision.

Audi reveals revised RS5 DTM for 2014

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

There existed an era in German touring car racing between when the DTM series was revived in 2000 and when BMW rejoined in 2012. During that twelve-season span, the wins were pretty evenly divided between Audi and Mercedes-Benz, the only two manufacturers who took part. Audi won six drivers' titles in that time and Mercedes won six (although Benz won considerably more constructors' titles).
Now that BMW is back in the race, though, it's an entirely different game. BMW has won the lion's share of the races in the past two seasons, taking both titles in 2012 and the constructors' title last season. The winning driver last season, though, was driving the RS5, making Audi the only one that really stands a chance of putting up a fight against BMW. It undoubtedly hopes to extend that challenge in the coming season, and this is the car with which it aims to do so.
Taking on the Mercedes-AMG C-Class Coupe DTM and the new BMW M4 DTM will be the revised RS5 DTM you see here. Bearing a stronger resemblance to the road-going RS5 you can buy, Audi's new DTM challenger benefits from a revised aero package with more streamlined side mirrors, closed rear wheel arches and reprofiled side sills. The V8 engine carries over (much as it did from the previous A4 DTM and A5 DTM) with 456 horsepower driving the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.

EVO takes flight in BMW's sultry i8

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Electric cars and hybrids are here to stay, much to the apparent dismay of some auto enthusiasts, but that doesn't mean they have to represent the death of enjoyable driving. Granted, the initial run of hybrids in the US like the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius weren't exactly tailor-made for aggressive folks behind the wheel, but things are clearly changing. In its latest video, Evo takes a look at three examples from Europe's new crop of electrified vehicles to show that the future of fun motoring is safe and sound.
Evo editor Henry Catchpole kicks things off with one of the most bizarre EVs of the bunch, the tiny Renault Twizy. Its low power and 50-mile-per-hour top speed might make it miles away from a hot hatch, but there's still fun to be had in extracting the most from this little city car. Next up is the Audi A3 E-Tron, which isn't technically available yet. It's a step in the right direction of eventually creating an affordable, fun-to-drive hybrid hot hatch.
However, the main event is Catchpole getting some seat time in the BMW i8. The Bimmer can really fly -literally in this case - and the butterfly-door coupe offers a clear look at the prospects for electrified sports cars. It might not have the power of hybrid supercar contemporaries like the LaFerrari or Porsche 918 Spyder, but the BMW doesn't cost nearly as much, either. See? Improved efficiency doesn't have to mean boring.
