1985 Audi 5000s Wagon In Very Good Condition For Sale! on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
I’ve been restoring this gem. Unfortunately, I’m now in the process of
relocating overseas with my job and there isn’t an easy way to take it with me.
So, up for sale it goes, along with
pretty much everything else I own. This is everything I can think to tell you about it: GENERAL 1.
It was purchased in May of 2012 on eBay from someone
who specializes in one-owner cars and it was shipped to Phoenix. The single owner before me was in San Diego,
CA which is where the car came from so the body is in very good condition with
no visible rust 2.
It has been waxed by hand twice a year since
I’ve owned it 3.
The interior and all rubber/plastic exterior
parts have been treated with Armor All twice at least twice a year since I’ve
owned it 4.
All repairs that have been recommended were
performed with the exception of the items in the Condition section below 5.
The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles, by
the Audi dealer, with full synthetic oil (important to know because it will
require synthetic oil from now on) CONDITION 6.
Numerous repairs have been made to it since I’ve
owned it (see the section(s) below outlining not only the repairs that have
made but also the condition of everything I can think of including all the
options and their respective functionality).
It also outlines everything included in the sale including
documentation, parts and accessories. 7.
Overall it is in very good condition 8.
It has the 2.2L 5-cylinder engine which was one
of Audi’s best engines of all time 9.
It is my daily driver so as of the time of the listing
it has 93,851 miles (there will be more miles on it before the auction ends but
I travel 100% for business so it’s usually parked in covered parking at the
airport for days at a time so it doesn’t get driven a whole lot) 10. It
has no visible 11. I’m
not a lead-footed driver and have enjoyed pretty good gas mileage which,
according to the trip computer, is approximately 25 in the city and 34 on the
highway (when cruise control is used) 12. It
has passed every annual smog test, including the most recent one on 6.16.14 13. All
of the repairs have been done by Chandler Audi since I’ve owned it until I
recently moved more than an hour away from the dealer at which time I took it
to a mechanic that specializes in vintage cars and did all the repairs the one
time it was there. If you’d like to
speak with my vintage mechanic I’ll be happy to provide his name/phone number
(just send me a note through eBay) 14. There
are no leaks, noises, or other engine/transmission issues me or my mechanic are
aware of as of the time of this listing (the dealer said the
engine/transmission were in excellent condition the first time they saw it) 15. I’ve
driven it on a several long trips (250 miles each way) through the Arizona
mountains, with the AC on, loaded with people and stuff, cruise control set at
80 (AZ speed limits are mostly 75 on highways) and never had any issues 16. Things
I know need to be repaired: v. It needs an AC to heater core hose for the AC to blow cold (until that hose is replaced it will only blow cool) INCLUDED IN THE SALE 17. Included

INFORMATION
LOGISTICS/SHIPPING 50. Since
I’m in the process of relocating overseas, I don’t care what it sells for as
long as it goes to a good home 51. I’m
happy to work directly with a shipper should you choose to use one (I’ll
provide all my contact information following the conclusion of the auction) and
all costs/responsibility/damage related to shipping are the responsibility of
the buyer. The eBay shipping option(s)
looks pretty good and was not available when I purchased this car 52. The
car must be picked up by the buyer/shipper/designated agent within five business
days following the conclusion of the auction unless my travel schedule requires
it to be longer, in which case I will let the buyer know as soon as I know,
because I do not want to be responsible for anything that could happen to it
while it’s still in my possession 53. I
travel 100% for business so I apologize in advance as my responses to inquiries
may be slow 54. Also
because I travel 100% for business it may take a bit of effort to arrange
pick-up/shipping logistics and I apologize for that in advance as well. However, my intention is to make the process
as simple as possible. With this in mind, I am recommending using a shipper unless you live in Phoenix because I am often only home long enough to do laundry, unpack, re-pack, and go right back to the airport. We can also arrange for the keys, title, etc. to be mailed once payment(s) have cleared and the buyer can come at his/her leisure to pick it up and I do not have to be here (if you think of any other way to arrange pick-up/delivery, let me know. I'm happy to consider things I have not thought of) 55. Unless my schedule changes, I will be out of town until the day after the auction ends 56. My
license plate(s) will be removed prior to releasing it to the buyer/shipper 57. The
car is for sale locally so the eBay listing may be ended at any time PAYMENT 58. Payment
is via cashier’s check or cash in-person (cashier’s check may be mailed or
given to the shipper). I’m also willing
to accept a wire transfer. If this
option is desired, the information needed to facilitate this type of
transaction will be provided following the conclusion of the auction (I'm guessing this will be the easiest option and I'm willing to allow extra time for processing as I had to do this once and if I remember correctly, it took a week for the money to reach the seller's account and be cleared) 59. Payment
in full must be received within seven business days (same timeframe as pick-up)
following the conclusion of the auction and the $500.00 deposit be
cleared/approved through PayPal prior to release to the buyer/shipper/designated
agent 60. Should
a fail-to-pay situation arise, in order to have my eBay/PayPal commission fees
refunded, an unpaid case must be opened which will result in an automatic
negative mark on the buyers account from eBay ADDITIONAL PHOTOS Here is a link to additional photos and documents (by clicking one of the photos, the descriptions will appear, where I've documented everything I'm pointing to as well as things that may not be obvious): http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t531/seville3/1985%20Audi%205000S%20Wagon/107_zps7bf60783.jpg 61. I’m
not sure what people may want photos of so if there is something you’d like a
photo of and isn’t included in the current photos, let me know. I’ll take the photos if it’s something I’m
able to capture in a photo and upload it to the photos link above (the night
time photos are to show the functioning of the lights, both interior and
exterior) DISCLAIMER 62. It
is being sold as-is and where-is 63. Also,
keep in mind that any car can have something stop working, especially vintage
cars and I’m guessing if you’re looking at this type of car you are more than
likely already aware of that QUESTIONS 64. If
there are any questions not already answered, by all means let me know. Happy bidding! On Jun-21-14 at 06:45:04 PDT, seller added the following information: The person who bought the other car I had listed figured out a way to send the entire payment via PayPal. When I set up the auction ebay indicated PayPal could only be used for a deposit. I'm not sure how he was able to use PayPal for the entire payment but if you are able to figure out how to do it, PayPal is preferable over all other forms of payment. |

Audi RS3 Sedan coming to America with over 400 hp?
Wed, Feb 17 2016The Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is a fast, competent car. It's significantly sharper than the Audi S3, and it should be, since its starting price is around $7,000 more. Still, getting walloped by the higher-performing CLA45 AMG must irk some people at Audi, we'd think, which might explain why there are rumors that the S3's big brother is coming to town. Yes, reports are popping up from an Audi of America employee that the Audi RS3 would transition from its Euro-market Sportback body style to a more conventional four-door, and that its styling would be updated in the process. Oh, and it'll have a 400-plus-horsepower, 2.5-liter, five-cylinder turbo with which to bash the four-cylinder AMG. The report comes from Quattro World by way of CarScoops, and goes on to claim that Audi hallmarks like Quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission will both be present. The new RS3 Sedan would arrive on US shores in 2017 as a 2018 model, with prices starting between $55,000 and $60,000. That should make Mercedes-AMG very nervous – the CLA45 may start around $50,000, but getting it past the $60,000-range is simple (your author was driving a nearly $68,000 CLA45 just last month, for example). Naturally, we have a call in with Audi of America to see if there's any credence to this report. Stay tuned for updates. Related Video:
VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.
VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.
