2002 Audi S8 4.2l Quattro Low Miles 94,873 on 2040-cars
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
|
My 2002 Audi S8 is up for sale. Metallic Black with black leather interior. This car was on my short-list of cars to own since back in the 1990's. Upon finding one here close to me in South Florida three years ago and taking it for a test drive, I knew immediately I had found my new car. It's a true beast, without a doubt the best car I've ever owned. It still turns heads everywhere I go. The styling has aged quite well and it carries quite a presence traveling down the road.
I am the third owner and bought the car with 86,000 miles. The odometer now reads 94,873. The vehicle has spent practically its entire life here in south Florida. All services have been performed by The Collection, Audi Pembroke Pines or well known Audi independent repair facilities here in the South Florida area. I have all records from 2006 until the present and they will be included with the sale. I am very particular about my cars (almost to a fault-ask my wife) and am trying to disclose everything I can about the automobile so that any potential buyer can feel confident in knowing what they are getting. Upon purchasing the car I knew it was due for a timing chain service (a costly procedure). This was performed immediately along with a full inspection of the car for any other preventative maintenance that could be performed. I had the following done: - The timing belt job mentioned above consisting of the belt itself, the dampers, levers, rollers, and serpentine belt. - The thermostat was also replaced at this point as a preventative measure and as it is easy to reach with the belt service being performed. - I also replaced the water pump and had them flush all coolant. - The air cleaner/element was replaced along with the cabin air filter. - An Audi standard 80,000 mile service check was taken care of as well (too much to type). - The engine oil filter was replaced along with fresh oil (100% synthetic) and new spark plugs were installed. - Finally, the transmission fluid, filter and gasket were all removed and replaced. The total for this service alone was over $3,000. The price reflects the small repairs that are needed. -- The front left foglight is missing after the front bumper catching the pavement (a common problem with these D2 A/S8's). Also the right washer mechanism popped out at this time. -- The drivers window regulator failed causing the window to fall off track and subsequently crack itself against the frame (again, a common problem/fault with these cars). You can see clearly in the pictures. The glass is double paned, so there is no leakage whatsoever thankfully. I went ahead and found a donor window off a totaled S8 to replace it with along with a new regulator. The rear drivers window had a small hairline crack at the very top corner when I bought the car (unable to be seen with the window rolled up - why I missed it originally) so the rear window from the same donor S8 was purchased at this time. -- The passenger mirror housing had developed a small crack from the hot sun here in south Florida and the drivers mirror motor was acting up by not automatically tilting downward when the car was placed in reverse, so I also purchased a pair of left and right mirrors (again from the same donor S8 automobile). -- The interior door trim is coming loose on the front driver and rear right passenger doors and will need to be corrected. An easy fix. -- There are small nicks on the front from normal road use and a small scuff on the right rear door trim. Keep in mind that though the car has been well taken care of, it is twelve years old, so it will show light signs of wear. Just see the pictures for verification. I was about to send the car in to get these repairs done but due to another car purchase I am willing to take a loss here. ALL PARTS I bought (front drivers window, rear drivers window, drivers window regulator, driver and passenger mirrors and front bumper washer assembly WILL BE INCLUDED in the sale price. These parts alone cost well over $1,600. Once again -- my loss, your gain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'm asking $12,500 though I am accepting reasonable offers. Buyer is responsible for shipping though I would be willing to help somewhat depending on your situation - communicate with me what you may need. I should add that the car is also listed for sale locally here in the Fort Lauderdale area and I reserve the right to end this listing early. -- So someone asked: "Why then would I sell her?" I've decided to upgrade to a D3 W12 and would rather sell my car outright than trade her in, get a lowball price, and possibly have it end up at auction or worse. These cars deserve a loving owner who is willing to maintain them and love them. This car was on my short-list of cars to own since seeing the movie Ronin back in the 1990's. Upon finding one here close to me in South Florida three years ago and taking it for a test drive, I knew immediately I had found my new car. It's a true beast, without a doubt the best car I've ever owed. It still turns heads everywhere I go. The styling has aged quite well and it carries quite a presence traveling down the road. I will be happy to answer any and all questions you may have for me though I really have tried to be as thorough as possible here. Nevertheless, ask your questions before you bid. I don't want to deal with uncommitted bidders if at all possible.

Audi scores 100th LMP win
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Loïc Duval, Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish took the No. 2 Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro to victory at this weekend's Six Hours of Austin at the Circuit of the Americas, marking the 12th victory for the R18 body and the 100th LMP overall victory for Audi since 2000. The milestone victory also saw a second R18, driven by Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer and Benoît Tréluyer, take third place.
Audi's LMP boss, Chris Reinke pointed out the poignancy of snagging the brand's 100th victory in the US, saying, "For Audi, it's a very special result because it was the 100th victory in LMP racing. We celebrated the first victory int he USA as well, in 2000. What could be sweeter than achieving this milestone here?" It wasn't all easy going, though, as the team was racing at COTA for the first time, and the No. 1 car had more than a few difficulties.
This victory marked the 12th for the R18 since it started racing in 2011. For comparison, the R15 TDI only managed three victories between 2009 and 2011, and the R10 TDI took 22 wins between 2006 and 2008. Those cars are overshadowed by the original Audi R8 racecar, which won 63 races between 2000 and 2006. Take a look below for the full press release from Audi, and additional quotes from team members.
Audi TT Sportback Concept rounds out an icon
Thu, 02 Oct 2014That German automakers seem singularly fixated on filling any white space between their models isn't new - the last decade-plus has seen their showrooms overflowing with niche models, some of which seemingly occupy sub-genres of sub-genres. To our eyes, there's often diminishing aesthetic and utilitarian returns to go along with the heightened price tags that accompany these models, but we're beginning to think Audi is tackling its personal diversity initiative best. Unlike the often heavy-handed designs from rivals (we're looking at you, BMW), Ingolstadt seems to be doing doing a more graceful job of carving out models between models. The latest proof of this is the TT Sportback Concept, just unveiled here at the Paris Motor Show.
After showing off its Allroad Shooting Brake Concept in Detroit and, more recently, in the Offroad Concept in Beijing amidst rumors of the TT sports car platform expanding into an entire family, we're not surprised to see this more utilitarian five-door hatchback showcar here in France. This, despite the fact that Audi already counts similarly proportioned A5 Sportback and A7 Sportback models in its lineup.
Of the TT line extension concepts, this Sportback certainly looks the most production ready, with a bare minimum of showcar tinsel masking realistic proportions and detailing. We think it's quite handsome from stem to stern, even if it's a bit familiar looking. The design incorporates Audi's trademark big-grille look with the TT's prominent arched roofline and heavily radiused fenders, along with a rear lighting graphic that subtly echoes the A3. Despite its leggy looks, the TT Sportback Concept is surprisingly compact, spanning less than a foot longer overall than the production 2016 TT despite its 4.7-inch longer wheelbase and extra set of doors. Those sleek looks come at least partially as the result of an overall height that sits 1.2 inches lower than the TT coupe.
300-HP 2013 Audi S3 Sportback unwrapped
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Not content to let Volkswagen have all of the fun with its GTI and Golf R, Audi is rebooting its five-door S3 Sportback with rather monstrous power. Headed for an official unveil at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the new S3 rolls out with a 300-horsepower, 280-pound-feet of torque turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI engine under the hood. The four-cylinder powerplant is strong enough to shove the Sportback to 62 miles per hour in just 5.0 seconds when connected to the optional S-Tronic gearbox, or 5.5 seconds with the traditional manual transmission. Top speed is said to be an electronically governed 155 mph. Almost as impressive as those performance figures are the fuel economy ratings: the S- S3 is said to average 34 miles per gallon.
All S3 Sportback models offer Quattro all-wheel drive, ride on a sport-tuned suspension tuned to a lower ride height (about one inch) versus the standard Audi A3. 18-inch wheels with 225-section tires are standard equipment, and 13.39-inch front brakes should offer serious stopping ability.
Audi has done a lot of work shedding pounds from this latest MQB-architecture S3, as well. The car has a curb weight of roughly 3,186 pounds, or some 154 pounds less than the outgoing model. 11 of those pounds were cut via weight-saving measures in the 2.0-liter engine.
