RARE, LOW MILEAGE 2005.5 (B7 platform) AUDI S4 Prestige Package in Brilliant Red Exterior and stunning silver leather interior with hard to find factory carbon fiber trim.  I am the third owner of this beautiful vehicle.  The Audi recently passed PA emissions and inspection.  I planed on trading it in on our the new vehicle for our family, but I feel based on the service history, low mileage, condition, color combo rarity, and care put into this vehicle the dealerships offer was unacceptable and I could do better selling it outright. The interior is 99% perfect. Look at the driver’s seat for instance, there is not even a single love handle mark in the leather.  There is not a single wear mark on any buttons surface and all electrical functions work.    

Many of you may ask, is this car really that hard to locate?  Well, search Autotrader using this criteria:  2005.5 to 2008, 6-speed manual, under 75,000 miles, with navigation.  There are less than 12 for sale total in the U.S.!  Of the 12 or so listed not one is asking under $20k.  Now if you want red, coupe, premium package…this is the only one. 

This car has been priced extremely fairly based on what’s out there, let alone is service history and cared for condition. It goes without saying that a vehicle like this rarely comes along and IMHO this is as near to perfect as a 74k car could ever be. 

That being said, within the last 3,000 miles the following items have been serviced:

  1. Factory wheels have been chromed.  Yes, these are OEM Audi S4 wheels.  This is the only S4 I have ever seen with chrome wheels and it really completes the high end look.
  2. Transmission and differential fluids flushed
  3. Oil changed on schedule
  4. New brake pads front and rear
  5. New rear Audi OEM rotors
  6. New spark plugs
  7. 4 New all Season Continental Pure Contact Tires
  8. New front upper and lower control arms
  9. Replaced front driver side CV axel (CV boot was leaking)
  10. New wheel bearings
  11. New HID headlamp Bulbs (no flickering issues like some S4’s have with the ballasts) 
  12. Coolant system fluid flush
  13. New coolant system tank (old was looking yellow due to age so it was replaced)
  14. New wiper blades
  15. Battery replaced with heavy cycle AGM series
  16. LLumar (very light) window film
  17. New serpentine belt and tensioner
  18. All season VW factory Audi factory front and rear floor mats, including trunk
  19. New fuel filter
  20. Car cover
  21. Audi winter OE floor mats

Aftermarket items include (all completed within the last 10k, costing around $7000 total in parts alone)

  1. JHM 93 Octane performance engine management ECU tune
  2. RS4 cat-back performance exhaust
  3. Vogtland springs and coilovers front/rear
  4. Porsche Cayanne big brake kit front
  5. SS stainless steel brake lines front
  6. Ventilated Brake disc rotors (front only)
  7. 5mm H&R spacers front and rear, used to clear big brake kit
  8. 034 motorsports large air intake
  9. Pipercross performance foam air filter
  10. Wolfsburg shift knob (factory OEM leather knob will be included in sale)
  11. RS4 gas/brake/foot rest aluminum peddle set
  12. Apikol snub mount upgrade
  13. Mario Andretti personally signed the (unused) ash tray cover…cool! 

Feel free to contact me for a phone number.  I AM NOT DEALER, and tire kickers are not appreciated. NO TRADES, again, only selling to do a little better than the dealer trade in offer.  No hurry to sell, so lowballers please look elsewhere.  Clear title.  All receipts for work included. No pets, no smoking, no odors, garage kept. Overall, a exceptionally clean car.  I reserve the right to end the auction early or sell locally, so if interested, please make me a (reasonable) offer.  If you want a PPI, that’s fine.  I will be happy to take the car to the local ASE mechanic who has previously inspected the car to verify its excellent condition.  Also, in full disclosure the dealership we were going to trade it in too found that the first owner of this vehicle was in a very low speed parking lot fender bender and the rear bumper was replaced.  According to the insurance report it was a very minor collision and the air bags did not deploy and no mechanical or frame/structural items required repair, only cosmetic (i.e. new plastic bumper).  Audi did an excellent job replacing the bumper w/a oem one and obviously it never created any issues for the second or third owner (us).  We didn’t even know the damage occurred since the auto check report didn’t show the cosmetic repair when we bought the car.  Again, a very clean car inside and out.  One other note, the pictured 19” wheels are now sold.  The car will include the chrome avant wheels.  I am open to offers, but will not entertain hagglers or unreasonable requests.  If you think this is not the car for you, or an unfair offering, then please and respectably by all means look elsewhere. THANK YOU!!!!

Volkswagen finds CO2 'irregularities' for 800k vehicles

Wed, Nov 4 2015

The latest issue for Volkswagen affects another 800,000 vehicles, and this time its for irregularities in CO2 emissions certifications. VW estimates this issue could cost the company $2.2 billion to fix. The company officially makes no specific mention of which engines are covered, the models they are in, or even where they are located. VW discovered the situation during its ongoing internal investigation, and, according to the automaker, "it was established that the CO2 levels and thus the fuel consumption figures for some models were set too low during the CO2 certification process." Most of the affected vehicles are diesels, and the company is now reaching out to "the responsible type approval agencies" to figure out the next step. While VW isn't officially confirming which models and engines are involved, Automotive News reports that it affects some 2012 and later VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models with the company's 1.4-, 1.6-, and 2.0-liter diesel engines, as well as the 1.4-liter ACT gasoline engine. The issue mainly affects vehicles sold in Europe. "The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG deeply regrets this situation and wishes to underscore its determination to systematically continue along the present path of clarification and transparency," CEO Matthias Muller said in the announcement. Volkswagen Group of America spokesperson Jeannine Ginivan was able to provide some further clarification to Autoblog. "This is not related to US-certified vehicles," she said. Clarification moving forward: internal investigations at Volkswagen identify irregularities in CO2 levels Matthias Muller: "Relentless and comprehensive clarification is our only alternative." Around 800,000 Group vehicles could be affected Initial estimate puts economic risks at approximately 2 billion euros The Volkswagen Group is moving forward with the clarification of the diesel issue: during the course of internal investigations irregularities were found when determining type approval CO2 levels. Based on present knowledge around 800,000 vehicles from the Volkswagen Group could be affected. An initial estimate puts the economic risks at approximately two billion euros. The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG will immediately start a dialog with the responsible type approval agencies regarding the consequences of these findings. This should lead to a reliable assessment of the legal, and the subsequent economic consequences of this not yet fully explained issue.

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial

Wed, 28 May 2014

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
