Audi S4 Quattro 4.2l 380hp V8 2005 Cabriolet Convertible Rare Sprint Blue Pearl on 2040-cars
Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States
Shipping and payment: Cash or Cashier's Check. Buyer to arrange for pick-up/delivery. Vehicle located in Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, two hours from DC or Richmond; six hours from NYC.
History: Bought vehicle from a dealer in northern Virginia in September 2009, with 35K miles. One prior owner. Had it ever since (5+ years). Even though it is an AWD Quattro, it never has been out in snow or ice. One minor accident involving front passenger fender area. Repairs made. Always has been garage stored. Two things to know about the history: (1) History shows frame/unibody damage - prior to my purchase. In fact, the report of the damage was not made till five months after my purchase. Inspection I commissioned indicated that the damage was fully repaired - and, there have been no issues with this during my ownership. (2) History shows two odometer issues - on AutoCheck, not CarFax. One before I purchased vehicle and one recently. The first is clearly a clerical error - mileage was 34,549 in Aug 2009 and then reported at 39,549 in Sept 2009 - the 4 clearly was misread as a 9. Then, I purchased it at 35K and that made things look like a rollback. Since this would be a crime, AutoCheck should have pursued the matter with law enforcement authorities or confirmed the accuracy of the Sept 2009 report; it did neither. The car was on a lot and did not likely get driven exactly 5,000 miles in 30 days on a lot. Common sense.... The second shows mileage at 129K, but I have complete records from date of purchase through today that shows mileage. It's at 76,725 as of this afternoon and five more miles to get home. 76,730 right now in my garage. Someone entered mileage from another car, not this one. So, what all this means is that the history shows these situations and this has a severe impact on the value for trade with a dealer. But, these things do not affect the quality of this vehicle. The price reflects a deep discount (of $5,000+) due to all this. Features: Just about as fully equipped as this model could be in 2005. Premium Package. Condition: The vehicle body is in very good condition. The paint is still shines like new but there are a few areas where it's flaked. Some road chip mark in front. Minor paint issues. The interior is in excellent condition. Engine is in excellent shape. Exhaust system excellent. Pipes are excellent. Needs a new airbag sensor for passenger seat. $300. Price also reflects this expense. With that, you would have a car that still turns heads. Will send you photos if you're seriously interested. And, will answer any questions you have. Without the history issues and the airbag sensor replacement needed, this vehicle merits a pricing at $16,500 - $17,000. To make it attractive to someone who would love to enjoy this car, I am discounting it $6,000+ for the history issues and $500 for the airbag sensor replacement. The price is $10,500. Won't find one like it for that. |

2014 Audi A3 Sedan makes its world debut in NYC
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Audi is bringing some excitement to this year's New York Auto Show, showing off a 2014 A3 Sedan that will shortly be vying for attention in the luxury market's newly hot compact segment. The newly minted A3 faces immediate challenge from box-fresh small premium sedans like the Mercedes-Benz CLA and the Acura ILX, as well as players like the Buick Verano and the Lexus CT200h.
Of course, the German automaker will be the first to tell you that this new A3 is more than up to the challenge. Audi's typically high-level of design is in effect here, with sheet metal that is attractive without looking like a clone of the larger A4. The A3 will have the option of full LED headlamps, of course, carrying on Audi's now famous positioning in the world of recognizable lighting. Wheels will range from 16-inches to 18-inches, we're told, which will also help to cement the sporty look and premium placement of the small sedan.

Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
