Up for sale is a 2001 Audi A4 2.8 with 55k original miles on it that has some very expensive modifications done to it. It was purchased from a salvage auction, sight unseen, as a theft recovery. I expected it to only need light bodywork, and a new ignition. Unfortunately, it had a blown clutch/transmission when it arrived.

Car has a PA salvage title

The trans was pulled, and when pulled it was discovered that one of the mounting bolts on the block was broken. At that point, the shop that was doing the work and I had a falling out over another vehicle. I had both cars picked up, and that's where this car sits now. It needs the clutch (comes with a brand new clutch kit), flywheel (you need to get that), and the transmission put back in. It will also need downpipes/catalytic converters. The rest of the parts are all in the trunk.

Now the car has some very expensive modifications done to it. It has a PES supercharger kit installed on it that is practically brand new. That kit alone by itself is $4,000. It bumps the horsepower up to ~300hp. It also has a Bilstein cup kit suspension on it. Has brand new cross drilled and rotors all around (need to be cut not because they have rust from the car sitting), AWE drivetrain stabilizer, and a K&N air filter.

The interior is probably the nicest I've seen in any B5 series Audi in a long time. It is VERY nice. Nearly perfect.

The exterior is also very clean. It does have a hole in the driver door by the handle (how thieves steal these cars) and a damaged passenger fender (needs to be replaced, will post a pic later), but for a car that is a 2001, its really nice. The paint shines very well too.

THE CAR HAS SNOW TIRES/STEEL WHEELS ON IT NOW, THE ONES IN THE PICS ARE NOT AVAILABLE!

Basically this car has a ton of potential for the right buyer, or you can use it for parts on your own B5.

It is sold as-is, where is.

I know that is a lot to read and try and take in! Please feel free to email/call/text me at 484-560-1136 with any questions or if you need clarification! Thank you

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford Fusion and Toyota Highlander named Best Hybrids for Families; Funky Prius motorhome

Fri, Mar 13 2015

Tesla Model S customers in China will receive a "Universal Mobile Charger" with their vehicle. The charger will allow drivers to charge their Tesla anywhere, without having to search out a Supercharger when out in the wild. It allows Model S drivers a bit more freedom and helps alleviate worries about traveling too far from home. It could also help sway potential customers who suffer from range anxiety. The charger will be free to new and existing customers when it becomes available this summer. Read more at Car News China. US News & World Reports' list of Best Cars for Families includes two hybrids. The 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid was chosen as the Best Hybrid Car for Families, while the 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid was picked as the Best Hybrid SUV for Families. The Fusion hybrid was chosen for its roomy, comfortable cabin, as well as the MyKey system's features for new drivers. The Highlander Hybrid offers eight seats - good for carpooling - as well as good mileage and a quality infotainment system. Read more at US News & World Reports or at Hybrid Cars. Audi plans to give its electric vehicles looks that differentiate them from the rest of the lineup. "In early 2018, we will launch a battery-powered sports activity vehicle in the large premium segment with a range of more than 500 kilometers," says Audi's head of development, Ulrich Hackenberg. "It will have a new, very attractive design, which we are developing especially for the E-Tron range and for battery-electric vehicles." According to analysts, part of the reason the Toyota Prius was so successful was because it was easy to distinguish from other Toyota models with conventional powertrains.

James Lawler used mostly scraps to build the tiny house – complete with tin roof, chimney, and stained glass window Â– for just $150 Australian. It took him about a week to finish. Lawler made use of his creation at the Meredith Music Festival so he didn't have to sleep in a tent. He was, however, fined by police for driving the makeshift motorhome.

Audi also calling in A8, S8 over sunroof issue

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

The S6 and S7 (apparently prone to potential fuel leaks) aren't the only Audis being recalled currently, as a separate recall notice has been issued for its flagship A8 luxury sedan and its high-performance counterpart, the S8.
The problem apparently revolves around the glass sunroof, which is fitted as standard and which is reportedly prone to break. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined that not only could the falling shards themselves end up injuring the vehicle's occupants, but could also distract the driver enough to cause a crash. As a result, Audi's American wing is bringing in all 2013 and 2014 model year A8s and S8s - 1,120 units in all - to have their glass sunroofs replaced free of charge.

Does faster charging make you want an Audi Q7 PHEV?

Tue, Mar 1 2016

Don't let the image of a heavy diesel-powered plug-in hybrid SUV fool you. The Audi Q7 E-Tron will be a quick thing when it goes on sale in Europe this summer. And the SUV will be able to be recharged at a pretty good clip as well, says Automotive News Europe. A full charge of the Q7 E-Tron can provide a range of as much as 35 miles in all-electric mode, using lenient European specifications. One of the model's bells and whistles will be battery-recharging technology that allows the SUV to be recharged at up to 7.2 kilowatts. That means that the battery can be fully recharged in about two and a half hours. Not exactly Tesla Supercharger territory, but not bad. How much a faster recharging option impacts demand for a plug-in vehicle is open to interpretation. For instance, an Idaho National Laboratory study released late last year estimated that about 85 percent of the recharging activity for the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in and Nissan Leaf EV happened at home, implying that how long it takes your plug-in to fill up may not be a huge factor. So, how much would this option of faster recharging sway your decision in buying a plug-in hybrid? The Q7 E-Tron's V6 diesel engine and electric motor, which operate in a parallel hybrid setup, combine to deliver 373 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That combination can propel the SUV from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about six seconds. Of course, test that out a few times, and your all-electric range is likely to drop a bit. Audi is expanding its batch of E-Tron plug-in vehicles to better compete with German brethren BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Audi's first E-Tron, the A3, sold almost 12,000 units in Europe last year, about the same as BMW's all-electric and range-extender variants of the i3 in Europe combined, Automotive News says, citing JATO Dynamics. Audi will debut its Q5 E-Tron later this year and the A8 E-Tron in 2017. The Q7 E-Tron will be priced at about $88,000 in Europe. As for US sales of that model, questions remain about whether the SUV will have a diesel or gas-powered engine paired with the electric motor, but Americans should start getting access to it in either 2017 or 2018.
