1989 Audi 200 Quattro Avant Base Wagon 4-door 2.2l - 10v Not/nicht 20v on 2040-cars
Reading, Pennsylvania, United States
|
About five months ago, I was out cruising in this Audi wagon when a fellow in a Volkswagen Corrado ahead of me pulled off to the side of the road, motioned for me to roll down my window and then offered to trade right then and there for this car. A 10-valve Audi 200 Quattro had been his first car and it remained, for him, the love that dare not beep its name.
To be honest, it was pretty dark that night and I didn't catch what variant of Corrado he was busting around in, but I'd like to think he knew a reasonably good car when he saw one. And, alas, that is what my Audi wagon has been - a reasonably good car. It drives like it is on rails regardless of the weather. It feels like it could hold the entire IKEA as-is room. Or, alternately, five people with skis on the way to the local ski slope. Speaking of which, this car is steeped in history. After being born in what was then West Germany (despite its clearly East German sensibilities), it traveled the same roads as Hunter S. Thompson in Colorado before its first owner met with some legal difficulties and it was bought by a woman who drove it incredible distances between there and Pennsylvania with a seemingly large dog. If you're looking at this ad, you probably already know that a purchase like this is madness. But, wait. Take a sit in the incredibly comfortable drivers seat. Imagine your feet in taupe pumps, a pair of nude pantyhose on your legs and a taupe skirt suit to finish your ensemble. It's 1990, it's Vail and you're the trophy, second wife of the town's orthodontist and its your first summer selling ski resort real estate. "Would you like slopeside or base village?" Yeah, that's where this Audi takes you. Every time. Please buy my wagon and give it the glamorous life it deserves. (And now for the boring stuff. It's inspected through May 2015 for Pennsylvania buyers. It runs and drives. We've kept after the fluids and even replaced the radio with a stock Audi unit that doesn't change channels with every bump in the road, but sadly does not have the mysterious "ARIZ" button. However it has a QLCC chip so it doesn't chug along like an East Berlin streetcar and a stiffer wastegate spring. It has a replacement PCV hose from 034 Motorsports. It also comes with an insanely studded set of Nokian winter tires on lightweight sport rims and a stack of service records that are as compelling and entertaining of a read as most of the stuff your friends post on Facebook on any given day. Car is sold as-is, of course, and feel free to ask any questions about it before bidding.) |

Audi A3 supplies tight, model stealing Honda, Toyota sales
Fri, 04 Jul 2014It appears that there was a pent up demand for compact, front-wheel drive German luxury sedans that no one really knew about. Not only has the Mercedes CLA-Class been a success in the US with its Hungarian factory running three shifts to keep up, but the Audi A3 Sedan is doing quite well, too, after just three full months on the market.
Audi of America recently announced that the compact sedan shifted 2,452 vehicles in June and 7,735 units of the A3 since the beginning of the year. Not only are they selling; it's the people buying them that's important. According to Audi USA spokesperson John Schilling speaking to Autoblog, "A little over 25 percent of A3 buyers in April were 30 years or under." That's compared to about 18 percent for the A4, he said. Company executives also recently told Edmunds that many of those new customers are brand conquests turning in Honda or Toyota models. We gently mocked Audi when it held A3 Sedan launch parties aimed at hipsters that served craft beer and played indie music, but the marketing worked, apparently.
That said, if you're in the market for an A3, you might have not be able to get one immediately. According to Edmunds, some customers are on a waiting list for the compact luxury sedan. Although, Schilling said that's because Audi is still stocking dealers. "It's a little leaner than other models, but that's mainly because it's new and still ramping up," he said.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Audi leading rival BMW in worldwide luxury sales race
Tue, 11 Mar 2014If you thought competition among the German luxury automakers was hot before, it looks like things are just getting started. For the first two months of the year, Audi has sold more cars than BMW worldwide by just 383 cars.
Audi claims to have sold 242,400 vehicles through February, up 9.3 percent from last year, compared to 242,017 units from BMW, up 8.9 percent, in the same period. While the advantage is tiny, its implications could be huge because Bimmer has been the leader in the premium car segment for the last nine consecutive years. Mercedes-Benz lags behind them somewhat at 229,630 vehicles through February. According to Bloomberg, at this time last year Audi had sold 429 fewer cars than BMW.
The growth is all part of Volkswagen Group's goal to become the world's largest automaker. It currently ranks in second when its heavy truck businesses are considered. The German automotive giant also wants to be the world's leading premium carmaker. "Competition in the premium segment is more intense than ever," said Audi CEO Rupert Stadler to Bloomberg.
