HI, 

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Please read this listing in detail and re-read it. I don't want my time wasted, and I don't want to waste your time.     ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS! 



I initially bought this as a 3rd vehicle with a KY salvage title. I cannot find anything as to why it was "salvaged". The only repairs I had to make on it was the right front airbag and front right CV shaft. Other than that, I cannot find any reason as to why I bought it with the title it had. I now have had it inspected as per requirement in the state of Michigan to have the title transferred to "salvaged-rebuilt" That's the best I can get the title to be. The body had NO repairs done in any way, shape, or form. I cannot find any signs of moisture inside the vehicle anywhere that would indicate a flood or water damage.  The car is not NEW. IT IS USED> Please understand that my description is as accurate as I can honestly make it. 


Now, The car needs work. It seems that it makes a clunking sound upon deceleration. I "think" its a intermediate drive shaft bearing. I was allowed to drive it on the road roughly 15 miles one way to the police station and drop it off for the inspection. It was the first time I was able to put it through the ringer. I will say that its a monster on the road. It is fast. It shifted fine, Drove straight, and felt good. I also drove it home. The noise seems to be only when you let off the gas. 



The front right strut/airbag leaked bad when I bought it. I replaced it with a used one and it hold air just fine. Since then, if it sits for over 7 days, the rear starts to sag. When the car is used daily, you would never notice the rear leak as minor as it is. I would estimate that the rear end would drop 1.5 inches over the course of a week of non use. Every time the car is started, the ride ecu activates and levels the car. It almost sits as high as my Avalanche on the highest setting. FYI.    


The front right CV shaft was destroyed when I bought It. It was replaced with a brand new unit. 




Other issues: 
Exhaust is noisy. Flex pipe is worn and needs replaced. There's 2 flex pipes.  exhaust might need more repair to fix minor leaks. IT honestly sounds like it has a custom exhaust. I can pull codes up to show exhaust leak. 

Driver door storage bin (shown) wont stay closed. 

E-brake trim wont stay latched (shown)

Dash display is bipolar. Sometimes the left side of the LED display is dim. (I was told it's common)

Rear deck  storage cover is broke. (shown with deck open) No affect on anything. 

Headlights. They are true HID. The lenses are dim and faded. The lights are still brighter than all other vehicles I own. They wont buff out. Trust me. 

Might need valve cover gaskets. When I purchased it, It would smoke a little from the exhaust manifold burning off a little oil. But since then, it seems to have gone away. Maybe due to it not being driven for a while. 







HERE ARE MY DEMANDS / WANTS! ----------------


IF YOU ARE TRULY INTERESTED, I WILL REPLY TO YOUR PM WITH MY ADDRESS. PLEASE COME LOOK AT IT AND DRIVE IT. IT ISN'T ALLOWED ON PUBLIC ROADS BECAUSE IT ISN'T PLATED. I LIVE ON A PRIVATE STREET WHERE YOU CAN DRIVE IT. I will also hook it up to OBD2 scanner on the spot to show you any internal codes it may have. 


I WOULD PREFER YOU TO COME LOOK AT IT AND TAKE YOU TIME DOING SO! IF YOU BUY IT AND SOMETHING HAPPENS, ITS NOT MY PROBLEM. I HAVE DISCLOSED EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT IT. NO BODY IS PERFECT. BUT I'M AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE 100% OF THE TIME. 



THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. THE CAR IS NOT PLATED AND WILL NEVER COME WITH ANY TYPE OF PLATE OR REGISTRATION. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE SALE IN PERSON AND ARRANGE FOR TRANSPORT WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS FROM SALE COMPLETION. 




THIS CAR IS SOLD AS-IS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY OR SERVICE PLAN. PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS VIA PM OR IN PERSON. LOCATED IN ZIP CODE 49120. 




ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND POSITIVE FEEDBACK WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE LEFT UPON COMPLETION OF THE SALE AND BEFORE THE CAR IS REMOVED FROM MY PROPERTY. DO YOUR HOMEWORK PEOPLE............. IM NOT A MASTER MECHANIC. COME LOOK AT IT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

1,682 miles in a 2014 Audi A8 L TDI - Part 2

Thu, 10 Oct 2013

Interruptions like the Canadian Grand Prix, Le Mans, Pikes Peak, that ridiculous Porsche 911 GT3 and the really good, really outrageous Jeep Cherokee, are among the distractions that delayed the conclusion of this tale. If you'll remember, in Part 1 we started off in a parking lot in Sebring with an Audi A8, headed anywhere that would empty our tank, and after five days in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale and Pompano Beach we bolted in the middle of the night for a breakfast date at an IHOP a couple hundred miles away.
We last left proceedings at a Chevron pump beside the West Florida Turnpike, somewhere around midnight in the humid wilds, having done 660 miles and spent $89.40 to put 20.992 gallons in the great white whale. We had done average speed of 31 miles per hour at an average rate of 27.5 miles per gallon. Those kinds of numbers, as we demonstrated, are good enough to put you in the fuel economy orbit of the Toyota Corolla - to be precise, it only cost $6.40 more to cover that 660 miles in the A8 TDI than it would in the Japanese compact. That led us to conclude that there were just a couple of Starbucks Venti lattes between the A8 and the Corolla, assuming we conveniently ignore the two cars' purchase prices. Turns out we were wrong: it didn't take long for a commenter named "mike" to set us straight when he wrote, "It's clear you weren't lying about not frequenting Starbucks...no way could you get two venti lattes for $6.40." Mike, we salute you - our ignorance of terrible coffee has served the higher purpose of emphasizing the strong case made by the diesel Audi.
But that A8... well, the wheels were still on the damn thing and we had to drive them off. That meant five more days of pilot duty to get us from wherever the hell we were to Wildwood and Daytona Beach, FL, then Brunswick, Macon and Atlanta, GA, then Birmingham, AL, and back to Atlanta.

We demo Audi's Traffic Jam Assistant tech on the road [w/video]

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

The closer automotive technology comes to making good on the promise of fully driverless vehicles, the better we see just what difficult work reaching that ultimate goal will become. That's because, unlike so many other in-car technologies that need only integration into a vehicle, truly autonomous cars will also insist on involvement with the surrounding environment, fellow motorists, infrastructure in cities and other communities and making it all work without exposing automakers to law-breaking or tremendous possible litigation. Clearly that isn't all about to happen in one go.
At CES in 2012, Audi told us about a debuting technology that would mark a significant step along the path towards self-driving cars: Traffic Jam Assistant. This year, the German automaker invited us out to Las Vegas to see the jam-busting technology in action, on a relatively busy freeway.
The Traffic Jam Assistant (we're pretty sure that name is still in Beta) promises to relieve drivers from the tedium of slow-moving freeways by taking care of braking, acceleration and staying inside of the lane - all with no input from the human behind the wheel. While still a fair step from truly autonomous driving, the goal here is to give a commuter some respite from the mechanical, time-wasting traffic jam paradigm, potentially opening up a space for productivity in the process. (Audi can't come right out and say that TJA will allow you to use your cell phone in traffic, as that's still against the law in many places, but something like that is clearly on the radar... er... LiDAR.)

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
