Always garaged 2008 Audi A3 with 6 speed manual transmission. The car has received all scheduled maintenance at Audi dealerships either in Fort Worth, TX or Colorado Springs, CO. Feel free to call either dealership to check on maintenance records. There has been absolutely no issues with the car. The only cosmetic issue is a small, dime sized dent on the left rear panel, which could be fixed for about $200. High performance, low profile tires have about 50% tread remaining. All the glass, including the 100% glass roof, is in perfect condition. The car does not include navigation, AWD, or the cold weather package. Other than those items, it's totally loaded.
This vehicle is rarely driven, maybe 1-2 times per week. It's my second car and I'm selling because it needs to be driven, not sitting in a garage. Private party KBB value in "very good" condition is $17,600. You'd pay $19,500 if you were buying from a dealership and I'd only get about $16,900 trade-in value, so I'm hoping we can work a deal outside of a dealership.
I have the car listed locally so I might need to end the auction early if it sells. I had this car listed previously and had to pull down the auction due to a listing error; I had copied a 2011 version of this car and that ad had "premium plus" package in the description. Audi didn't even have that package in 2008, so that was misleading and incorrect information.
The car is paid off and I have title in hand and ready to go.
The two main packages are:
S-Line Package ($2,500 upgrade) includes: Front and rear other tires with 225 mm tire width, 45% tire profile and Y tire rating; Alternate suspension; Luxury trim alloy & leather on gearknob and alloy on doors; Leather covered multi-function steering wheel; Remote audio controls; Roof spoiler; Front fog lights; Leather seat upholstery with additional vinyl; Sports driver and passenger seat; Illuminated driver and passenger vanity mirror; Illumination package; S line badging; A/C vents and radio button in alloy; Computer with average speed, average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption and range for remaining fuel
Titanium Package ($1,500 upgrade) includes: Piano black trim; Black styling grille and window trim; Front and rear alloy wheels with 18 inch rim diam; Front and rear other tires with 225 mm tire width and 40% tire profile; Black headliner;

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
Audi mechanic takes owner's S4 home for the weekend
Wed, 13 Aug 2014When you bring your car to a dealer, you expect a technician to take it out for a spin, just to make sure there aren't any noises, rattles or other behavior that you may have missed. Maybe they run a few miles along a predetermined test route or take a quick run down the highway. You do not, however, expect a tech to abscond with you vehicle for a full weekend
That is just what happened to Chris Jackson, though, an Audi S4 owner in Calgary. His car was taken to Glenmore Audi - as mandated in his lease agreement - due to an issue with the navigation system. After realizing he'd left something in the car, he swung by the dealer on Saturday to pick it up, only to discover the car wasn't on the dealer's lot.
Naturally, he approached the dealer about the missing sedan.
2015 Audi A8 rises to meet the challenge [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It's turnover time in the extra large premium sedan segment. With Mercedes having stuffed HAL 9000 in its new S-Class, other luxury marques are quickly updating their own super sleds to keep up with this persistent march of technology. While far from a full redesign, the Audi A8 has changed enough for 2015 in terms of styling, powertrains and new technology to keep it in the conversation.
For starters, the A8's exterior design has been redone, with the most noticeable changes happening up front. The trademark 'gaping maw' grille is a little less gaping, while the headlights now feature a straight lower edge of LEDs, excising the old model's droopy-eyed look. Speaking of headlights, Audi now offers optional Matrix LEDs, the latest in headlight tech, with 25 individual elements per side that can be turned on or off and dimmed as the situation demands. The rear of the A8 has also been resculpted and looks very much inspired by the derrière of the A7, with a single chrome strip connecting the new LED taillights.
The A8's full suite of powertrains has also been upgraded, with the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 now producing 310 horsepower (up 20 according to Audi, though down 23 compared to the US-spec 2013 model). The twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 is now rated at 435 hp, a solid 20-horse increase that lowers the car's 0-62 time to just 4.5 seconds. That's within spitting distance of the 520-hp S8's time of 4.1 seconds. That aforementioned super sport sedan's engine remains unchanged, as does the 6.3-liter 12-cylinder powerplant in the A8 L W12, but Audi's two diesel engines have both improved, with the 3.0-liter V6 producing an extra eight horsepower (256 total) and the 4.2-liter V8 gaining an extra 34 hp (385 hp) to go along with its more-than-adequate, though unchanged, 626.93 foot-pounds of torque.
