PLEASE LET ME STOP YOU NOW IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN INEXPENSIVE S8. SOME OF THESE CARS HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED, NOT MAINTAINED, ARE NEEDY, AND SIMPLY DO NOT FEEL RIGHT ANY MORE. OR EVEN WORSE, THEY ARE SOLD AS-IS WITH NO INSPECTION OR SERVICE! THIS S8 IS LOADED WITH OPTIONS; PREMIUM PACKAGE, COLD PACKAGE, CD CHANGER, SIDE AIRBAGS, PARKING SENSORS, NAVIGATION, REAR SIDE WINDOW SHADES, AND MORE. IT JUST COMPLETED AN INSPECTION AND I WILL BE DOING ALL THE WORK RECOMMENDED AT THE BIN PRICE. IT'LL BE GOOD TO GO WITH TONS OF SERVICE DONE. I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD OVER 65 S8'S....I KNOW WHAT THE GOOD ONES FEEL AND DRIVE LIKE, AND I CAN PROVIDE TONS OF REFERENCES FROM MY PREVIOUS S8 CLIENTS.

Here's the deal:

-- This is a 2002 Audi S8 4.2 V8 in ming blue metallic with ecru (tan) sport Recaro leather interior, and matching tan carpets. It has 117,xxx miles, looks like a million bucks, and drives like a million bucks too! Only two owners! ALL the paint on the aluminum body panels is original from the factory as measured by a digital paint meter. --

-- Exterior 8.75 out of 10 (I'm finicky) - Great overall condition paint, body, glass, and trim. No dents, and only a minor few scuffs, chips, and scratches. This S8 looks great, with a deep shine to its glossy blue metallic paint. This car looks great even under fluorescent light in a garage! --

-- This S8 has all its original body panels, and all original paint on them. Clean carfax with no accidents ever. The lower body moldings are in great shape. Chrome, rubber, glass, trim is all very nice, with some of the usual oxidation to the anodized aluminum trim. --

-- Look at the body panels.....they are laser straight. --

-- The tires are worn to about 10% tread remaining. But at the BIN price, I will install a nice set of Pirelli all-season 245/48/18 tires with about 55% tread remaining. The factory 18” alloy wheels are true with no bends. Some marks and minor rash to the wheels. This S8 drives straight as an arrow at any speed you choose. --

-- Interior 9 out of 10 - The interior is great. Overall including all seating and door leather, seat padding, dash, console, and carpets are in very nice condition. No dash cracks, no carpet rips, no significant wear on the leather. Everything looks and feels great. The armrest covers are present and working, no worn off silkscreens on the control buttons, etc. --

-- The door panels and wood trim are also in great shape, like the rest of the car. --

-- Even the trunk, headliner, and spare are mint. --

-- This S8 is fully loaded including premium package, cold weather package, parking sensors, xenon lights, side airbags, navigation, side window shades, and more. Almost everything you could get on a 2002 S8! --

-- SERVICES: Here is the best part, as I will do all of these things before delivery to thes new owner at the BIN price: a full timing belt job (tbelt, vbelt, water pump, cam seals, tstat, tensioner, roller, etc), valve cover gaskets, prop shaft seal, front brake pads and rotors, lower front control arms, A/C receiver/dryer and full system recharge, cam plugs, oil/filter change, and transmission pan gasket. That list, including the tires, is approximately $4500 at any authorized Audi dealer. I will do ALL OF IT at the BIN price. There will be nothing for you to do except drive. Wow! --

-- Electrical 10 out of 10 - All lights, switches, radio, windows, wipers, seat motors/memory, and power mirrors work perfectly. Power lock system, etc. all operating properly. The HVAC system is fast to respond, and perfect with hot heat and ice-cold A/C. --

--Mechanically 10 out of 10 - Engine starts, idles, runs, and revs to redline in every gear smooth and strong. Transmission is smooth yet aggressive, and downshifts eagerly. This S8 runs at high speed with no vibrations or noises. Fully inspected by an authorized Audi dealer and then serviced accordingly; drive without worry! --

-- Engine is strong and VERY eager to run, transmission very smooth and quick, especially in sport mode. No noise or smoke. Brakes are solid and pedal feel is firm. Suspension is tight like new, but floats on a cloud just like an S8 is supposed to do. Steering nicely weighted with no play in the box. This car drives and handles like new. --

-- This S8 just got its full inspection, and then will be fully serviced according to the Audi dealer’s recommendations. With the tires swapped, floor mats, and all the serviced listed above included that’s over $4500 in real value included at the BIN price!

-- This S8 has its books, working remote key (plus spare that your local dealer can cut and program to the car), original $78K+ MSRP, maintenance booklet, and ALL the warranty records. With only 117,xxx miles, it’s not even broken in yet! Full inspection is already complete. All you have to do is drive. --

-- Again, at the buy-it-now price, I will provide the following: the tires mentioned above, the services mentioned above including a full timing belt job, a full $200 detailing including engine bay, carpet shampoo, leather conditioning, orbital polishing, etc. I'll also include Audi floor mats, and ToughGuard paint protectant. This stuff is simply amazing for durability, as it will last up to five YEARS. Dealers charge up to $695 for this stuff! With those extra items, that’s well over $5000 in value! --

-- Nits: A few minor scratches and signs of use from being on the road for twelve years, and the items mentioned above. THAT'S IT. NOTHING ELSE. And if I did not mention those items, it's unlikely anyone would even notice...I just want to be up front and honest. Very nice condition for 117K miles. --

-- I have good feedback, and sold many Audis, Acuras, and Benzes that the new owners are thrilled with. They and others have offered to act as references to verify that I am honest in my descriptions of the cars I sell, and you are welcome to contact them. --

THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME CAR, AND IT'S AN UNBELIEVABLE DEAL!!

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.

Audi confirms new Q1 to cross over into smaller territory

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

The latest Q3 is smaller in every dimension than the Q7 that launched Audi into the crossover back in 2006. It's over two feet shorter, four inches narrower, five inches lower and rides on a wheelbase that's nearly a foot and a half shorter. But in Audi's eyes, it's still not small enough.
That's why the German automaker has just confirmed that it will proceed with production of the oft-rumored Q1 crossover. The new line will form just one of 11 new models which Audi aims to launch by the end of the decade, and will be built starting in 2016 at the main plant in Ingolstadt where Audi currently makes the A3, A4 and A5.
Audi isn't saying much else about the Q1, confirming only that it will be based on a modular transverse-engine platform. But contrary to the brand's Quattro-centric image, it has been rumored to be offered in front-drive form only. One way or another, the business case for expanding Audi's crossover range is as suitably rock solid: The Q family accounts for over a quarter of Audis sold worldwide, with the Q5 accounting for over half of that to stand as the most popular in the range.
