Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

NOTE: I have 7 videos of the car uploaded on YouTube but eBay won't allow me to list them in this description, please email me at iancu_b@yahoo.com or text me at 267-984-3579 and I will send you the links to them.
This was my wife's car, we bought it a bit over a year ago with 159,xxx miles and just turned 170,000. The timing belt/water pump/thermostat/tensioners and rollers were replaced at 115,000 miles and will be due again at 220,000. I replaced the valve cover gaskets, cam plugs, complete PCV system, injectors(4 holes updated red tops), fuel, air and pollen filter, spark plugs(NGK Iridiums good for 100,000 miles), a front axle, brakes, Interstate battery, vacuum lines,coolant flush, brake flush, transmission fluid and filter replaced,etc. I swapped a complete two-tone Allroad interior including door panels with the rear window shades....original interior was brown, I didn't like that very much. I also replaced front shocks, lower and upper control arms, I mounted an S4 thicker sway bar and end links, the rear sway bar is from a Sport model A6 with the V8 4.2. The car was very reliable and dependable, we had zero issues with it. Very safe (6 airbags) and fits a car seat in the back easily. Baby stroller, pack'n'play, you name it....it fits. Back rest folds down to increase cargo space. BOSE stereo, heated seats(front and rear), power everything.....this car was $46,000 in 1999, you get the idea. Recently the transmission started making noise, it drives fine, has forward and reverse but sounds like a bad power steering pump. It shifts fine and does not slip yet but I do not recommend driving it. If the transmission is still salvageable please consider towing it. I drove it around the block to shoot some videos and once in a while I'll drive it a mile or two just to get the fluids running and charge the battery but I do not recommend driving it long distance. I did not take it on the highway nor do I recommend that. The car has been pretty much sitting since winter, I bought an S6 Avant and an Allroad for my wife so needless to say we won't be fixing the A6 but rather part with it and move on. The car had PA inspection until the end of February 2014 and (assuming the transmission doesn't quit completely or gets fixed) it will need a new windshield to pass again, current one did not survive this winter. UnionAutoGlass quoted me $190 installed and they come to your house, other quotes were in the $200 range. There are no warning lights on the dash, no check engine light and no codes in the systems. The brakes are rusty from sitting and the headliner is starting to sag. KBB for this car in FAIR condition is $3,393.....I have a whole lot more into the car and willing to take a reasonable loss on it. You could part it out for twice as much money then my asking price, I have no space or time to do so plus I think it would be a shame, the car has a lot of life left in it. The Allroad interior(seats and door panels) was close to $1,000 by itself, it's a lot of car for the money. Please let me know if you have any questions. The car can be seen in Port Richmond (19134) section of Philadelphia. Thank you for reading this ad. Best regards, John 267-984-3579 |

Audi unveils A3 Sportback G-Tron with bi-fuel power, 808-mile range
Fri, 01 Mar 2013By this time next year, the Audi A3 Sportback will be offered with a variety fuel-efficient powertrains ranging from diesel to the all-electric E-Tron, but perhaps the most interesting is the all-new G-Tron model, which uses Audi's innovative carbon-natural compressed natural gas called e-gas. Previously called A3 TCNG, we first heard about this technology last year, but now Audi has confirmed that this low-emission, sustainable-fuel will debut by the end of this year on the A3 Sportback G-Tron.
To create this e-gas, a plant in Werlte, Germany uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. As hydrogen fuel cell vehicles become more popular, Audi says that this process could also be used to produce hydrogen fuel, but to create CNG, it mixes the hydrogen with carbon dioxide to create "synthetic methane." Since it is identical to the CNG available today, Audi's e-gas can be shipped and stored using the existing CNG infrastructure. Making the whole process even greener, Audi obtains the CO2 for this process from a nearby biogas plant, which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
Differentiated from the regular versions of the A3, the G-Tron features a pair of tanks under the rear cargo floor holding 15.43 pounds of CNG, which can power the car for almost 250 miles. What's more, the A3's conventional gasoline tank is still in place, giving the car an addition 560 miles of range. In total, that means the A3 G-Tron has a driving range of more than 800 miles. To run on both CNG and gas, Audi made changes to the car's 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine (including the turbo, cylinder head and fuel injection system) and catalytic converter.
2012 Seat Exeo is Audi with the old, in with the new-ish
Thu, 15 Sep 2011We know what you're thinking: This car looks an awful lot like an Audi A4. But it isn't. And it is.
Regular readers may be aware that Audi's Spanish sister-company Seat inherited the previous-generation A4 some time after it was replaced. They put some new badges on it and presto! A new flagship model for Seat.
Called the Exeo, it has now undergone a minor facelift that did nothing if not make it look even more like an Audi, if that were possible, and we got up close and personal with the new model here in Frankfurt. Check it out in our high-res gallery of live images from the show floor.
Audi R8 V10 gets tuned up by ABT
Mon, 20 May 2013Bavarian tuners ABT have done another job on the Audi R8 V10, pumping up the 5.2-liter FSI V10 from 525 horsepower to 600 hp, and torque from 391 pound-feet to 406 lb-ft. With 50 more horsepower than the R8 V10 Plus - but not the extreme weight-loss scheme - ABT claims a 0-62 mile per hour run of 3.5 seconds, the same as the R8 V10 Plus, and a top speed for the mid-engined coupe of 198 miles per hour "is no problem at all."
Managing all that speed are the aero tweaks provided by a comprehensive body kit including a rear wing, a lowered and beefed-up suspension, a stainless steel exhaust and 19-inch wheels in two different designs.
The press release below has a few more bits of info on the matter. And while ABT hasn't put a price on the Audi upgrades, but it's safe to say that nearly 200 mph in an R8 won't come cheap.
