Summary: 2002 Audi S8, 92k, 360 HP DOHC 4.2L V8, Quattro AWD, Tiptronic 5-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel controls, immaculate inside and out, contact me at mattjessup3 at gmail.com.
Description: I am selling my immaculate 2002 Audi S8. I am the second owner of this fantastic car, built to compete with the BMW M5, Mercedes E55 AMG, and Jaguar XJR. To create an S8 Audi took their all-aluminum A8 flagship, made nearly every option standard, then added a DOHC 60 valve 4.2 L V8 that makes 360 HP and smoothly revs to 7,000 RPM, a 5-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual shift control via steering wheel controls or shift gate, an automatic Sport transmission mode, a unique 3-spoke steering wheel, lower and tighter suspension, Recaro seats, subtle body styling, 18" Avus wheels, aluminum mirrors, and huge Brembo front brakes. The eventual MSRP of my car (window sticker copy included) was over $76k and it shows, the build quality and materials are absolutely top notch. In addition to the usual power equipment the S8 has features like double glazed door glass, double door seals, self-leveling HID lights, power moonroof, power steering wheel telescope and tilt with easy entry retract, 3 memory settings for the seats/doors/power wheel/mirrors that sync to the remotes, power folding mirrors, dual zone climate control, heated seats front and rear, power rear window sunshade, back door sunshades, Napa leather, power lumbar front and rear, Bose audio, back seat ski pass-thru, rear A/C and heat vents, stability and traction control, airbags in the front/side/side curtain, and so much more. It is a fantastic driving car that easily seats five adults in comfort, equally fun around town and effortless on the highway. It is also spectacular in bad weather, I have never driven a car that makes snow driving so easy. Cosmetic Condition: Very clean inside and out. The leather has only light wear and is still soft and supple, and the carpet has no stains or wear. Audi OEM rubber floor mats are currently installed but a mint condition set of OEM carpet mats are also included, as well as a custom fit sun shade. The exterior paint is fantastic with a great shine. Very light scratches along the trunk lid lip, no dents or other body damage. Slight haze to LH headlight lens. The hood was repainted by the previous owner due to rock chips, in the right light a particular eye can see a slight shade difference. The quality is otherwise impeccable, and there are no mask lines or overspray. No other paintwork, no accidents, clean Carfax. Wheels are very nice with only a few small scratches. The rear door interior grab/switch panels have been refinished due to scratches and don't perfectly match the rest of the interior, these parts are still available from Audi if a perfect match is desired. The leather has recently received a full Leatherique treatment, and the exterior has received a machine polish with Pinnacle polish and wax with Zaino products. The car spent most of its life in Texas so it is very dry underneath on fasteners, the body and structure is aluminum so it will never rust. Mechanical Condition: Fantastic, with lots of recent maintenance done. At the moment the car simply needs nothing. I am the second owner and bought it directly from the original owner, who did all service and repairs at Audi dealerships in the DFW area. I have service records since new, summarized in an Excel spreadsheet that is available via email. Highlights include the timing belt, ATF fluid and filter, and new Bridgestone Potenza all-season tires. All features work correctly except for the right rear power headrest does not adjust. Otherwise it drives and works excellent. I am selling my S8 because I no longer need a four door sedan.. I have a clean and clear KS title in hand, all service records since new, a copy of the window sticker, and all books and keys. Contact me via email at mattjessup3 at gmail.com and I will provide the Excel maintenance file as well as 108 high resolution photos. Thanks for looking. |

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
2015 Audi Q3
Mon, Apr 13 2015There are two ways to approach a brand-new segment in the auto industry. First, an automaker can take a gamble and introduce a completely new vehicle, catering to the specific demands of the marketplace(s) in question. In the compact, premium CUV segment, we've seen Buick do this with the Encore, and Mercedes-Benz with the GLA-Class. The other option is to introduce a vehicle already sold in another market. Considering the amount of time it takes to bring a new vehicle from paper to production, there is plenty to gain in the short-term with this approach. It's not without its downsides, though, as we found after a week behind the wheel of the 2015 Audi Q3, a vehicle that was initially launched in 2011. Cute though it may be – it was referred to at least once by a passerby during our testing as "totes adorbs" – Ingolstadt's decision to introduce a vehicle that's already been on sale for four years, and is effectively approaching the last half of its lifecycle, leaves the Q3 at a significant disadvantage relative to the newer competition. Despite crossing its first auto show stage four years ago, the Q3 remains a handsome little bugger. Audi's designs, while conservative, tend to age very well, and the compact Q3 is no exception. It's like a scaled-down Q5 in most respects, although certain design pieces, like its more aggressively raked rear window and shorter front and rear overhangs, belie the significantly smaller Q3's figure. Due to its age, the Q3 was, fortunately, designed before the current A3 hit the market. That means it avoids the unattractive, minimalist dash of the A3, opting for a more traditional Audi design, with a strip of brushed aluminum on the passenger's side, a user-friendly center stack and a suitably large nav screen front and center. While the overall layout is attractive, the material quality is not what we'd expect of a newer Audi. There's nothing that feels exceedingly cheap – the plastics just feel old and too familiar. It's difficult to describe, but as soon as you climb in the Q3, things like the switchgear for the HVAC controls immediately remind you that this is a vehicle that's been on sale since 2011. While our definition of interior quality has evolved over the years, our idea of a driver-friendly cabin has not. The Q3 scores highly in this regard, featuring the elevated seating position that makes CUVs so popular with the general public.
Audi chooses A3 as its Super Bowl darling
Wed, 18 Dec 2013With Super Bowl XLVIII less than two months away, we're sure to hear plenty of news about automakers and their various plans for in-game commercials. Audi has announced that it will return for its seventh year of Super Bowl advertising, but few details were provided about the spot other than the fact that it will focus on the all-new 2015 A3.
The 60-second ad will air during the third quarter of the game, and while Audi did not say how much it is spending on the spot, Ad Age says that a 30-second commercial will average around $4 million for next year's Big Game. Last year, Audi's choose-your-own-adventure "Prom" commercial was the second favorite video in our unofficial poll of readers, but the competition should heat up even more this year with General Motors returning to Super Bowl advertising after taking a year off and Jaguar preparing its first-ever Super Bowl ad to introduce the F-Type Coupe.
