I'm getting a company car and am sadly parting ways with my beloved Audi A4 Avant.  Whoever buys this vehicle will be in for a winter driving treat - it handles incredibly well (better than our 4x4 SUV) on the few days we had snow and ice in Dallas last year, and has a five star crash safety rating from the NHTSA.  We comfortably fit a car seat, booster seat, and an 11 year old in the back seat of this wagon.  Yes, you can have a cool, fun to drive vehicle and have kids! (but don't worry, our kids aren't allowed to eat in the car and generally ride in my wife's SUV...) The rear seats fold down and there's enough room for a bike.  Anyone who is a car fanatic will know awesome wagons are!

I didn't spend five hours waxing it and applying ten coats of armor-all to it before taking the attached photos because I wanted you to see the car as it is.  It's a used car - so there are a few scuff marks on the front left rim, a small door ding on the drivers side rear door, and a rear bumper scratch from our garage door.  I think it's important for you to see this when you're buying a used car.  We took it to the dealer and to CarMax when we were trying to decide whether to trade, sell, or sell privately, and the professionals at those places felt these scratches and dings can easily be removed or touched up.

What I think really matters to a buyer is to know how much we loved and babied this car.  We kept it in a garage, used only premium fuel, and everyone knows that used cars from Texas are the best since we don't have salt on the road/rust issues.  It was certified on 3/2013 by Audi and has a Audi CPO warranty until 3/2016 or 100,000 miles.  I will pay the $150 to transfer it to the new buyer.  With the warranty, it's $85 per visit to the shop on everything the CPO warranty covers (you can find this on their website).  We've used only synthetic oil and it has been cared for by the Audi-care plan, including the most recent 45,000 mile oil change and tune-up.  The brake pads and tires are only 18 months old (they all have a discount tire road hazard warranty, discount tire can look them up based on serial-number if anything were to happen to the tires).  I can provide all the paperwork and records I kept for this car to its new owner.  The interior is clean, the seats are still like new.

Some of the greatest things about this car aside from the handling and driving experience:  it's a sport sedan with a turbo engine at heart with the cargo room of a small SUV.  The panoramic sunroof is great!  It has the Audi MMI system with navigation, satellite radio, bluetooth, iPhone connectivity, and a media hard drive that holds a lot of songs.  The system even plays DVDs on the nav screen (you have to be stopped and in park...).  I get ~24 MPG in the city and 32.7 MPG on the highway real world use.  The black interior and the silver trim are sharp - Audi definitely knows how to do interiors.  The exterior paint is cool - it's a bluish grey.  LED headlamps and xenons give it a sporty and aggressive look.  Yes, I love this car and having to part ways with it is tough, but I hope that whoever wins this auction will enjoy and love this vehicle as much as me.  Any questions - please feel free to ask.

China probing German automakers over spare parts

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

The Chinese market has proven to be a boon to German luxury automakers. However, the way that the companies have allegedly been controlling their supply of spare parts has begun to draw the ire of the nation's government. According to insiders speaking to Bloomberg, officials from the country's economic planning organization have opened a probe into Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and some Japanese carmakers over claimed price inflation and limiting supply.
Specifically, the investigation centers around two aspects of how the companies do business, according to Bloomberg. Investigators want to know whether the original equipment component makers are able to sell spare parts only to automaker-authorized dealers or if they are also available to independent shops. There is also the issue of whether the price markup on replacement pieces is too high. The tight controls could be partially explained by China's reputation for producing counterfeit parts.
Evidently, the investigators haven't checked parts prices at car dealers elsewhere in the world. At least in the US, paying more at the dealer for factory components just goes along with owning a vehicle. If evidence of price fixing is found, the companies could face fines the equivalent of millions of dollars, according to Bloomberg.

Audi gets into tablet market with Android-powered Smart Display

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Relatively small in newsworthiness compared with laser-equipped hybrids and all-new cockpit concepts, Audi has also announced a branded, Android-powered tablet called Smart Display at CES this week.
Audi has partnered with Google for its in-car computing software for years now, so it's hardly surprising to hear that its first foray into the world of tablets runs a Google OS (which one is still unclear), and has Android guts. Sorry, iPad users. The 10.2-inch tablet wears a lovely aluminum chassis that seems right in line with Audi's typical industrial design, and is packed with Nvidia's Tegra T40 processor.
Smart Display is meant to highlight the upcoming cleverness of Audi's newly announced in-car LTE connectivity (by way of continued partnership with AT&T). Users can, in theory, access the Google Play store while on the go, and then download and fiddle with Android-based apps until their very hearts are content. By "users" we mean "passengers" here, and so does Audi, though we're not exactly sure if there are measures in place to keep a driver from tableting while driving.

Audi promises Super Bowl surprise with Dog Show teaser

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Last month, Audi announced that it would focus its Super Bowl XLVIII airtime on its new 2015 A3, but a new teaser video promises "something unexpected." Even though there's not so much as a single car in this 20-second teaser, we don't doubt that Audi has created an interesting and creative commercial based on what we've seen in recent Super Bowl ads from the automaker.
While we don't exactly see what could be scary or unexpected about the A3 (or even the S3), there is still the chance that Audi has something up its advertising sleeve for the Big Game. We only have to wait a couple more weeks to find out for sure, but in the meantime, the short video is posted below.
