1999 Audi A4 with Quattro 4 Wheel Drive

You are bidding on a 1999 Audi A4 Quattro sedan. This is a 2.8L V6 engine (the good one, not the smaller turbo engines you see on most of these cars).  The Audi has 148,552 miles on it and has had its timing belt and water pump replaced earlier this year (that's the most expensive repair generally experienced on this kind of car and will not be needed again for another 75K+ miles). New spark plugs were installed at that time as well. Tires are in good shape, with two purchased in January 2013. Both the alternator and battery were replaced in July 2012. Receipts from maintenance and repairs are in hand and convey with the car. Keep in mind that many high-mileage cars you see for sale are being sold just before a major repair is due - this car has already undergone the big repair.

The car features a leather interior, 6-CD changer in trunk, Quattro all wheel drive, power seats (both driver and passenger), power windows, heated driver seat, spare tire, tire change tool kit, and Audi safety triangles. In preparation of the sale, I have had the car inspected, with the inspection valid through April 2015. I will give the buyer a Mobil-1 oil filter, Bosch fuel filter, and a package of turn signal lights at the time of delivery as well. 

I am the car's third owner and have used it as a daily driver for nearly five years. The vehicle has not been in any accidents, and I have a clean car title in hand with no liens or other restrictions. I have performed oil changes myself (Mobil-1 full synthetic), and have a binder with the car's maintenance records that will convey with sale. 

Outstanding Issues

The car is a 1999, and has cosmetic blemishes that are expected for its age. The driver door has a loose piece of trim, and there is a small tear in the driver seat. Both of these can be seen if you zoom in on the pictures attached to this ad. The front bumper has a small scrape on the passenger side (I grazed a pole pulling into a drive-thru at a restaurant). The roof headliner is beginning to sag, which can be seen in the photos of the backseat. I will include a can of Loc-Tite spray adhesive with the car so the buyer can address that issue. One of the three cupholders does not work. Driver's heated seat works but passenger heated seat does not appear to work.

When large scale maintenance was performed earlier this year, several optional repairs were identified that I declined. I have an estimate sheet from AutoHaus of Yorktown, VA for these repairs, and know they can do a very good job if you choose to follow up on their recommendations. None of these issues prevented the car from passing its inspection, and car still drives fine without them. Identified by Autohaus were: replacing both valve covers, camshaft plugs and cam adjuster seals (has small leak in this area); replace coolant resevoir (has crack above minimum line - personally I wouldn't replace it unless coolant was dropping too low); and replace right front axle assembly (makes squeaking sound at speed bumps). The primary cost of these repairs is labor, and if you are mechanically inclined you should be able to save a good amount of money if you do this yourself.

The car has the check engine light illuminated, but code readers are simply giving an error message when trying to read the code (picture attached showing "E" error message). A few months ago the car cut off while I was driving, but nobody was able to recreate this situation or pull a code that explained what happened. The car has driven well since that time, but buyers should be aware of that. 

Terms of Sale

This car is sold as-is, with no warranty included. Buyer is responsible for any DMV fees and taxes resulting from the sale of this vehicle. The buyer agrees to pick up the car at Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News, VA (we'll work out which store to meet at at the end of the auction). This auction does not have a reserve price, so the highest bid gets the car. A clean title is in hand and will be signed over to the buyer when payment is made. If the transaction is not completed for any reason, the buyer agrees to pay the listing fee charged by eBay for this auction ($125). Full payment is required within 5 days of auction end.

Audi mulling producing version of Quattro showcar, just not sure which one [w/poll]

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

Head of design for Audi, Wolfgang Egger, has told Auto Express that a reborn Quattro could enter production, but bosses for the company haven't yet decided whether to base it on the Sport Quattro concept that just debuted at this week's Frankfurt Motor Show or the smaller Quattro concept that was revealed at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
While both draw their inspiration from the original Ur-Quattro of the 1980s, they vary wildly in both size and choice of powertrain. The 2010 Quattro concept was based on Volkswagen's MQB platform, shared with such vehicles as the Golf and Audi A3. The Sport Quattro, meanwhile, was built atop the company's larger MLB platform that's used almost exclusively for Audi models, including the A5, which is also a coupe.
Under their hoods, the 2010 Quattro concept simply employs a version of the same 2.5-liter engine used in the TT RS, tuned to deliver 408 horsepower, while the Sport Quattro goes nuclear with a twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain that develops 700 hp and 590 pound-feet of torque. Both, of course, employ quattro all-wheel drive just like their forebearer.

Tom Kristensen walks through a perfect lap of Le Mans in Forza 5

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

One of the best ways of learning a new track, aside from driving it, is to hear someone that's intimately familiar with it give you a good walkthrough. That's just what you'll get here, as the winningest driver in 24 Hours of Le Mans history, Tom Kristensen, walks you through the Circuit de la Sarthe's high-speed, 8.5-mile strip of pavement.
Kristensen is dubbed over scenes of drivers from a Forza Motorsport 5 contest lapping the track at the wheel of an Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro, adding a bit of visual sense to the Danish drivers description of the track.
With the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans kicking off this weekend, this is just the sort of video you'll want to watch to get you in the mood. Take a look below, and then let us know what you think in Comments.

Audi rules out R8 PHEV, will build E-Tron to order

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

The question of whether Audi will morph the next-gen R8 (pictured above, in testing) into a plug-in-hybrid challenger for the BMW i8 may have been answered. CarAdvice, in Australia, is claiming that any plans for a PHV 2016 R8 have been shelved, and that Audi will go ahead with gas-powered or all-electric models, only.
Even then, the electric R8 E-tron (if it ends up being called that) would be built-to-order, and in much smaller quantities than the gas-powered model.
"In the next generation we will have an electric car on behalf of customers' needs, which is only available [upon special order]," Audi product manager Marie Suzanne Ernst told CA. "So it's not a make of series production, but if a customer wants to have it, he can order it."
