2000 Audi A4 Quattro Avant Wagon 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Fairfax, California, United States
|
This is a tuner car that I have been having fun with since about 2005. Over the years I consistently searched out and purchased quality parts and components and had most of them professionally installed by 034 Motorsports, or Kovacs Motors (San Rafael, CA). Used as a back up commuter car for most of its life. Never tracked unfortunately, but pretty much ready for some 1/4 mile blasts or a nice day any any good road course. It has a significant amount of tasteful modifications and might just be what you are looking for. Wife says I have to sell this and one of my bikes, see my other auctions if you like turbo motorcycles. This vehicle is a "big turbo car". If you have never driven a "big turbo car" it is good to know that they ultimately sacrifice low end torque for top end horsepower. This car is no exception. It does have to spool the turbo, but at 22PSI on California 91 Octane pump gas, everything over 4500 RPM is exciting. Freeway onramps are very fun... Performance Enhancements: ENGINE:

The Good: This car is very clean with lots of professionally installed upgrades. Given that it is running a remapped Stock ECU, any problem that might occur would easily diagnosed as if the vehicle was stock. It is very clean cosmetically and only has some small areas where wear and tear were inevitable. The car dynoed on California pump gas at 265 AWDHP which is well over 300HP at the crank. There are Wideband 02 and EGT sensors installed. Adjustable digital boost controller in glovebox. Tinted windows. Full on sleeper. The Not So Good:
The Bad: (NOTE: CALIFORNIA BUYERS PAY ATTENTION) In April of 2013 I took the car to get smogged in my home region of Northern California. Given the extensive mods the car was flagged as a "gross polluter" given that it did not have the "secondary air pump" installed. This is true. Smog laws and testing are getting more strict in CA and they finally caught up with this vehicle. I have all the required parts and can ship with the car. I can not guarantee that this car can be easily somgged in CA given that it officially failed a visual smog inspection. It never had problems passing any of the sniff tests, but with missing parts, it did not pass the visual inspection. Extra Parts:

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.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
Audi reveals facelifted A7 and S7 in Europe [w/videos]
Thu, 22 May 2014Audi has revealed the nip/tuck and stylistic upgrades for the A7 that we got clues to in spy shots from back in January. The single-frame grille has been subtly reworked along with the lower front fascia and headlilghts. Those bulbs are underlined by a new design for the LED DRLs, and - in Europe - they can be had with Matrix Beam LEDs that come with dynamic turn signals. Out back is a tweaked bumper, as well as new exhaust tips and taillights with an LED pattern that mimics the front lights.
Cockpit inhabitants get new surface treatments like the aluminum and Beaufort walnut inlays, Valcona leather and five possible colors for the seats. The company's MMI Navigation Plus with MMI Touch is fitted with an Nvidia chip for faster graphics processing, and LTE-enabled internet connectivity is standard.
Up front, the 3.0-liter bi-turbo TDI gets a power boost to 320 horsepower and is attached to an eight-speed transmission; a seven-speed S tronic transmission is paired to the rest of the line. The revised 3.0-liter V6 TDI recently discussed at the Vienna Motor Symposium also joins the lineup, here offered in both the 272-hp and 218-hp variants, that latter "ultra" version said to return 50 US miles per gallon.
