1999 Audi A4 with Quattro 4 Wheel Drive

You are bidding on a 1999 Audi A4 Quattro sedan. This is a 2.8L V6 engine (the good one, not the smaller turbo engines you see on most of these cars).  The Audi has 148,552 miles on it and has had its timing belt and water pump replaced earlier this year (that's the most expensive repair generally experienced on this kind of car and will not be needed again for another 75K+ miles). New spark plugs were installed at that time as well. Tires are in good shape, with two purchased in January 2013. Both the alternator and battery were replaced in July 2012. Receipts from maintenance and repairs are in hand and convey with the car. Keep in mind that many high-mileage cars you see for sale are being sold just before a major repair is due - this car has already undergone the big repair.

The car features a leather interior, 6-CD changer in trunk, Quattro all wheel drive, power seats (both driver and passenger), power windows, heated driver seat, spare tire, tire change tool kit, and Audi safety triangles. In preparation of the sale, I have had the car inspected, with the inspection valid through April 2015. I will give the buyer a Mobil-1 oil filter, Bosch fuel filter, and a package of turn signal lights at the time of delivery as well. 

I am the car's third owner and have used it as a daily driver for nearly five years. The vehicle has not been in any accidents, and I have a clean car title in hand with no liens or other restrictions. I have performed oil changes myself (Mobil-1 full synthetic), and have a binder with the car's maintenance records that will convey with sale. 

Outstanding Issues

The car is a 1999, and has cosmetic blemishes that are expected for its age. The driver door has a loose piece of trim, and there is a small tear in the driver seat. Both of these can be seen if you zoom in on the pictures attached to this ad. The front bumper has a small scrape on the passenger side (I grazed a pole pulling into a drive-thru at a restaurant). The roof headliner is beginning to sag, which can be seen in the photos of the backseat. I will include a can of Loc-Tite spray adhesive with the car so the buyer can address that issue. One of the three cupholders does not work. Driver's heated seat works but passenger heated seat does not appear to work.

When large scale maintenance was performed earlier this year, several optional repairs were identified that I declined. I have an estimate sheet from AutoHaus of Yorktown, VA for these repairs, and know they can do a very good job if you choose to follow up on their recommendations. None of these issues prevented the car from passing its inspection, and car still drives fine without them. Identified by Autohaus were: replacing both valve covers, camshaft plugs and cam adjuster seals (has small leak in this area); replace coolant resevoir (has crack above minimum line - personally I wouldn't replace it unless coolant was dropping too low); and replace right front axle assembly (makes squeaking sound at speed bumps). The primary cost of these repairs is labor, and if you are mechanically inclined you should be able to save a good amount of money if you do this yourself.

The car has the check engine light illuminated, but code readers are simply giving an error message when trying to read the code (picture attached showing "E" error message). A few months ago the car cut off while I was driving, but nobody was able to recreate this situation or pull a code that explained what happened. The car has driven well since that time, but buyers should be aware of that. 

Terms of Sale

This car is sold as-is, with no warranty included. Buyer is responsible for any DMV fees and taxes resulting from the sale of this vehicle. The buyer agrees to pick up the car at Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News, VA (we'll work out which store to meet at at the end of the auction). This auction does not have a reserve price, so the highest bid gets the car. A clean title is in hand and will be signed over to the buyer when payment is made. If the transaction is not completed for any reason, the buyer agrees to pay the listing fee charged by eBay for this auction ($125). Full payment is required within 5 days of auction end.

For Audi, Quattro name means something for hydrogen cars, too

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Forget Dueling Banjos. Audi is proposing "Dueling Motors" for its Audi A7 Sportback H-Tron Quattro concept vehicle. All in the name of appropriate pickup, of course. The German automaker, which showed off the concept sedan at the Los Angeles Auto Show last month, is pairing a plug-in electric motor with a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain. Each motor powers two wheels, maintaining the Quattro's all-wheel-drive pedigree. The car's 8.8-kWh lithium-ion battery can drive the car as far as 31 miles on battery-power alone. After that, the water-vapor-spewing fuel-cell engine kicks in. Audi executive Ulrich Hackenberg told Automotive News Europe that the unusual set-up is necessary because the hydrogen fuel cell powertrain alone would only power two wheels while providing an insufficient 136 horsepower. Not exactly sport-sedan material, especially for a car that weighs about 4,300 pounds, even if it is a zero-emission ride. Combined, the two engines give the sedan 231 horsepower as well as a combined single-charge/full-tank range of almost 350 miles. What it all means is that the A7 can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than eight seconds and has a top speed of about 112 miles per hour, and can still dash through the snow.

Audi Sport sets up new shop in Neuburg

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

Racing fans may know Audi best for its Le Mans team that's positively dominated the endurance racing scene. But as formidable as its Le Mans program is, that's only one of the racing disciplines in which Audi competes. It also competes in the full FIA World Endurance Championship, as well as Germany's popular DTM touring car series and supports customer teams in GT racing series around the world. And now the competition division is getting a new headquarters.
Audi Sport has until now been based in an old supermarket near to the company's head offices in Ingolstadt, but is now moving into a brand new, state-of-the-art facility 12 miles to the west in nearby Neuburg. The result of some 20 years of planning and two years of construction, the complex covers 116 acres of land in Neuburg-Heinrichsheim and will house engineers, technicians and other staff who deal with the R18 E-Tron Quattro, the RS5 DTM and R8 LMS Ultra that compete the world over.
The facility was officially opened this past Saturday with participation from top Audi brass and local government officials and included demonstrations from all three of those racecars around the on-site test track. The works team has begun moving in and the customer racing department will move into its new Motorsport Competence Center in the first half of 2015.

2014 Audi SQ5 ditches diesel, still packs a punch

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Over in Europe-land, the Audi SQ5 is a diesel-powered monster capable of sending a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque to its wheels. Naturally, this beast isn't coming to the States, but that doesn't mean we're missing out on the whole SQ5 experience altogether. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Audi is debuting a new gasoline-powered version of the hot crossover, and while it's not quite the oil-burning dreamboat we've lusted after from afar, we certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed.
Instead of a diesel, we get a boosted version of Audi's supercharged 3.0-liter V6, good for 354 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. Running through an eight-speed automatic transmission, the SQ5 will reportedly be able to fire off 0-60 times in the low-five-second range and will top out at an electronically limited 155 miles per hour. Suspension upgrades are on hand to improve road-going prowess, but also lower the Q5's stance a bit, too.
Because this is an S model, there are plenty of visual upgrades on hand, including a more aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and some pretty new colors including Estoril Blue and Panther Black. Interior upgrades like Alcantara trim and aluminum brightwork add to some sportiness from the cockpit view, as well.
