'91 Audi 200 (like 5000) Avant Turbo Quattro 20v 5 Cylinder! 120k Miles! Nr! on 2040-cars
Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, United States

The greatest station wagon ever? Might just be! I've had a lot of fun with this car over the last five years but I'm moving and will no longer have parking space for this classic. This thing is legitimately fast even today, with over 200 horsepower, but it still has a comfortable, smooth interstate ride. The mechanical Torsen limited-slip center differential works great, as does the factory push-button rear locker(!). So much better than newer/cheaper electronic traction control! The air conditioning compressor was replaced with a new unit in 2012, the tires are good, and it has had a recent oil change (Mobile 1). The pictured factory service manuals are included (almost $200 to buy new). It takes about a liter of hydraulic fluid every oil change or so (4-5,000 miles). This has been my daily driver in nice weather for the last few years and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere! In fact, if you'd rather not pick it up I can deliver it almost anywhere in the lower 48 states or eastern Canada for $.50/mile from zip code 16866 (with payment in hand, of course)! Otherwise, I'll be happy to bring it to your shipper for the same charge. International bidders are welcome, but please understand I have no experience shipping vehicles internationally and you will have to make all necessary arrangements.
As you can see in the photos, the exterior is not in perfect condition but Audi's famous rustproofing has been doing its job. There's a small crack in the lower passenger side corner of the windshield and a chip out of the passenger side taillight but neither has been an inspection issue and the shop I take it to is particular (hence the new brakes all around with only a few thousand miles on them). I can have a fresh Pennsylvania inspection and emissions certification done for you for $60 if that's a concern. What doesn't work: rear wiper/defroster, rear hatch struts, cruise control, and radio (plays CDs fine though). Also, the speedometer usually wavers around a few mph below the actual speed and the oil temperature gauge seems to read low. I replaced the speed sensor so my guess is there's an iffy connection in the dash. I also have an extra set of steel wheels with older snow tires on them. I've never mounted these and I wouldn't want to rely on the tires but the wheels look serviceable, so if you want them I can include them for an extra $20. This would be a great restoration candidate or daily driver. I'd also think this powertrain would be a natural fit for an Ur-Quattro project! You are welcome to come check it out in person or ask any questions, just email me at: benmull@hotmail.com. The car is presently garaged and plugged into a trickle charger, but it will have to be stored outside after Jan.10 if it hasn't been picked up/shipped/delivered by then. Since this needs to go fast, the deposit is non-refundable and I will require payment in full within 7 days of the auction's end. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

Audi fires head of R&D, Wolfgang D"urheimer
Thu, 20 Jun 2013According to Car and Driver, citing a report in Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, Audi has fired Wolfgang Dürheimer, the brand's head of research and development.
Dürheimer had originally signed on as Audi's R&D boss in September 2012. Prior to that, he had served as the head for both Bentley and Bugatti, and was formerly the development chief at Porsche (where he is credited with helping get the original Cayenne into production, a move that ushered a new era of profitability for the company). Dürheimer moved to Audi following a management shakeup within the Volkswagen Group in mid-2012.
During his time at Bentley, Dürheimer spearheaded the brand's efforts to launch an SUV. But at Audi, he reportedly quickly put a stop to costly projects such as the R8 E-Tron and the rotary range-extender engine for the A1 E-Tron. Furthermore, Car and Driver reports that Dürheimer shuffled the reporting structure within the brand's design department, and that VW Group CEO Martin Winterkorn had apparently disagreed with him several times on the styling direction for the brand.
Audi unveils its Doberhuahua Super Bowl commercial
Mon, 27 Jan 2014With Super Bowl Sunday less than a week away, this week is going to be dominated by anything and everything football related. That includes advertising and the auto industry, as some of the biggest players prepare to launch multi-million-dollar spots hawking their latest and greatest products.
A veteran of Super Bowl ads, Audi's history has been rather checkered, ranging from controversial to funny to Jason Statham. We aren't entirely sure where to place this year's ad. The German brand has released a pair of teaser videos on the so-called Doberhuahua, a crossbreed of a Doberman Pinscher and a Chihuahua. Now, we have the full spot.
We get the message Audi is going for - compromise is bad - but delivering it via a slobbery, mutant dog strikes us as trying a bit too hard to be funny. Take a look below and let us know what you think of the Audi's Doberhuahua spot. And of course, you'll be able to see the new ad come Sunday, when it airs during the Super Bowl.
Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
