Audi S4 Quattro 4.2l 380hp V8 2005 Cabriolet Convertible Rare Sprint Blue Pearl on 2040-cars

US $10,500.00
Year:2005 Mileage:76730
Location:

Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States

Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States

Shipping and payment:  Cash or Cashier's Check.  Buyer to arrange for pick-up/delivery.  Vehicle located in Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, two hours from DC or Richmond; six hours from NYC.

History: Bought vehicle from a dealer in northern Virginia in September 2009, with 35K miles.  One prior owner.  Had it ever since (5+ years).  Even though it is an AWD Quattro, it never has been out in snow or ice.  One minor accident involving front passenger fender area.  Repairs made.  Always has been garage stored.  Two things to know about the history:  (1) History shows frame/unibody damage - prior to my purchase.  In fact, the report of the damage was not made till five months after my purchase.  Inspection I commissioned indicated that the damage was fully repaired - and, there have been no issues with this during my ownership.  (2) History shows two odometer issues - on AutoCheck, not CarFax.  One before I purchased vehicle and one recently.  The first is clearly a clerical error - mileage was 34,549 in Aug 2009 and then reported at 39,549 in Sept 2009 - the 4 clearly was misread as a 9.  Then, I purchased it at 35K and that made things look like a rollback.  Since this would be a crime, AutoCheck should have pursued the matter with law enforcement authorities or confirmed the accuracy of the Sept 2009 report; it did neither.  The car was on a lot and did not likely get driven exactly 5,000 miles in 30 days on a lot.  Common sense....  The second shows mileage at 129K, but I have complete records from date of purchase through today that shows mileage.  It's at 76,725 as of this afternoon and five more miles to get home.  76,730 right now in my garage.  Someone entered mileage from another car, not this one.  So, what all this means is that the history shows these situations and this has a severe impact on the value for trade with a dealer.  But, these things do not affect the quality of this vehicle.  The price reflects a deep discount (of $5,000+) due to all this.

Features:  Just about as fully equipped as this model could be in 2005.  Premium Package.  

Condition:  The vehicle body is in very good condition.  The paint is still shines like new but there are a few areas where it's flaked. Some road chip mark in front.  Minor paint issues.  The interior is in excellent condition.  Engine is in excellent shape.  Exhaust system excellent. Pipes are excellent.   Needs a new airbag sensor for passenger seat.  $300.  Price also reflects this expense.  With that, you would have a car that still turns heads.  Will send you photos if you're seriously interested.  And, will answer any questions you have.

Without the history issues and the airbag sensor replacement needed, this vehicle merits a pricing at $16,500 - $17,000.   To make it attractive to someone who would love to enjoy this car, I am discounting it $6,000+ for the history issues and $500 for the airbag sensor replacement.   The price is $10,500.  Won't find one like it for that.

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
Scroll down to see how it all plays out on video.

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."
