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.

Next Audi RS4 to get an electric turbo?

Tue, Jul 28 2015

We don't yet know if the next Audi RS4 will come to the US, but whoever gets it could find an electric turbocharger under the hood according to a report in Auto Express. The 4.2-liter V8 that has served for two RS4 generations is retiring from the line, replaced by a twin-turbocharged version of the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 used in the S4. But instead of using two sequential turbochargers - a smaller one to eliminate lag while a larger, more powerful turbo spools up - batteries charged by brake regeneration could power a first-stage electric turbo. The idea hasn't been publicly appointed for a particular model, as Audi's technical chief Ulrich Hackerberg has said that due to expense, that kind of setup "would only be used be used on the very top end models." Since the technology cuts down on the use of exhaust gases, it would also also help in markets like Europe where CO2 emissions are a factor. No matter whether it benefits from all conventional or some electric boost, the horsepower number for the twin-turbo V6 will be more than 420 hp but less than 503 hp, the rating of the V8-powered Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Auto Express believes Audi will want to maintain the power gap between the 333-hp S4 and previous, 444-hp RS4. With Hackenberg saying the new S4 will make more than 350 hp, that gets the coming RS4 up to at least 461, but AE figures it "could deliver as much as 480 hp." We'll find out sometime after the S4 launches next year.

Audi Prologue Avant Concept points to the future of wagon design in Geneva [w/video]

Wed, Mar 4 2015

The new generation Audi R8 and its LMS GT3 racing version are grabbing much of the attention at the Audi stand at the Geneva Motor Show. However, if you are more interested in seeing the brand's future design direction, just take a look at the Prologue Avant Concept that's also on display. Audi traditionally uses the Avant name for the company's wagons, but that's tweaked slightly here. The vehicle is certainly a five-door, but from some angles it looks more akin to a Porsche Panamera-like hatchback. Compared to the B-pillarless Prologue Coupe (that we recently drove), the stretched roof flows all the way to the angled rear hatch, and the result is a very elegant design. The interior tends towards minimalism with just a few screens showing the driving info. The Prologue Avant also ditches the Coupe's petrol-fueled hybrid for a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo diesel V6 plug-in hybrid with a total of 455 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, which is linked to an eight-speed gearbox. Audi claims the setup reaches 62 miles per hour in 5.1 seconds and allows for 33 miles of pure electric driving. To get a sneak peek at what's next from Audi, take a look at the Prologue Avant Concept on the floor of the Geneva show in the gallery above.

Audi exec denies plans for turbo R8

Sat, Aug 1 2015

Sometimes smoke doesn't lead to fire. Rumors indicated Audi might drop a turbocharged engine into the latest R8, but now a top executive is throwing a bucket of cold water onto the burning speculation. "The performance potential of this current engine means we don't need to even look at turbocharging at this point," Jurgen Konigstedt, Audi development boss for V6, V8, and V10 engines, said to CarAdvice. He also said sticking with natural aspiration offered a better sound and sharper throttle response than going with forced induction. "There is less emotion with a turbocharged engine," he said. Konigstedt admitted there was a serious discussion about turbocharging the R8. The argument just didn't win out. "If we feel that people absolutely want a turbocharged engine, then we will have to consider it," he said to CarAdvice. Audi just launched a new generation of the supercar. The 2017 R8's 5.2-liter V10 will be available in two tunes: with 540 horsepower in the standard coupe or 610 hp in the Plus. Rumors have persisted about a smaller, forced induction powerplant at the bottom of the range. Some reports suggested a twin-turbo V6 behind the driver, but others said the electrically supercharged 2.5-liter inline five was a candidate. The reason for the entry-level addition was tied to lowering the taxes on the R8 in markets like China. Related Video:
