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. |

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
Audi R8 E-Tron back on production map thanks to new battery tech?
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Contrary to our October 2012 report, it appears Audi's R8 E-Tron program is back on track, if a report from Australia is to be believed. Drive is reporting that the German brand has changed its mind and won't be sacking the program, despite previously stated concerns about the quality and price of batteries for the R8-based EV.
We last saw the R8 E-Tron prototype in the snows of northern Europe, although footage of the car has been non-existent since that wintry test. This new report claims that a small number of R8 E-Trons will see production, which gels with what we heard back in 2012 and supposed earlier this year. Apparently, some new sort of lithium-ion battery technology has allowed for a drastic increase in range, with rumors of the original 130 miles going up to around 250. According to Drive, this makes the project feasible again.
"Our engineers and technicians are further developing the car and its electric drive system. The range has grown significantly, allowing the potential for a small-scale production," an unnamed, but high-ranking Audi employee told the Aussies.
