I've owned this car since March of 2011, I purchased from the second owner, an older Polish guy in Northern Virginia who bought it from CarMax with 70k ish miles. It had 136,xxx miles on it when I bought, so in two years I've put 10k on it. I planned on not selling this for a long time, since I will never find another wagon this clean, even with the damage. However I recently bought a M3 and it needs a power steering rack. I've done a lot of maintenance to this over the time I've owned it, and usually upgraded the parts if I could since they needed replacing anyways. All the work was done by a good friend who is a technician for VW. The interior is very clean (never smoked in and I smoke), headliner has no stains, seats have no tears, all speakers work, & all windows work.

Details:
-147,4xx (will increase slightly)
-5 speed manual
-Melange Beige Metallic
-Black Leatherette (excellent condition)
-Auto-Dim Mirrors

Maintennace:
-All rotors: Zimmerman cross drilled & slotted $350 (Brakes done around 138k ish miles)
-All pads: Hawk HPS carbon ceramic $180
-Coolant expansion tank x2 (only buy OEM) $70 and cap $20
-New foglights $120 + Laminx $20
-Ziza headlight bulbs $30
-Lower radiator hose $60
-Coolant has been flushed probably 4 times
-Oil changed 3 times since I've owned it, every 4500 miles (Mobil 1 Synthetic 0w40, OEM filters, new crush washers) $60 every time
-ECS magnetic oil pan drain plug $15
-New battery $100 (actually had the OG battery still working until June of 2012)
-Timing Belt/Water Pump/Thermostat/Lightweight Crank Pulley/Belts $350
-Transmission and rear differential flushed with Royal Purple 75w90 $120 of fluid
-ECS magnetic transmission drain plug $20
-Power steering reservoir and cover both OEM $80
-OEM power steering fluid $25
-Better condition steering wheel $75
-034 snub mount $65
-Labor for all of that even with the hookup $700-800

Bad:
-Washer fluid leaks so the light comes on
-Center display in cluster has missing pixels
-A/C needs a recharge (won't need it till summer though)
-Damage to the hatch and rear bumper, a truck hit the hatch at >5 MPH in a parking lot and the bumper was backed into outside my girl's dorm at night (BUT I have a Pre-Facelift "Euro" Hatch, and a rear S4 Bumper to go with the car, these parts weren't easy to come by.)

Needs:
-Passenger rear wheel bearing
-A/C belt tensioner
-Rear tires (showing secondary rubber)

Audi revisits Ahab on desert island paradise in new ad

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Well, call us Ishmael. Long ago (okay, about eight months), Audi debuted an ad during the NFL playoffs called "Ahab." It showed a salty tow truck driver and his years of catches. During that time, one particular car eluded and haunted him - a white Audi A6, whose Quattro all-wheel-drive system had no issues with the inclement conditions.
Now, there's a sequel that has Ahab, not dead and not missing any legs, on a tropical island. What he doesn't realize, though, is that the white whale (which, Audi, if you're going to associate an animal with a luxury sedan, a whale isn't the best choice) has followed him. Take a look at chuckle-worthy spot below, and then click over and see the spot that started it all from back in January.

2017 Frankfurt Motor Show | Observations on the Ferrari Portofino, Honda Urban EV and more

Wed, Sep 13 2017

Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage The 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show kicked off the fall reveal season with an impressive array of powerful cars blended with forward-looking concepts. It's a seminal period for automakers, who find themselves at the intersection of disruption and opportunity. With that in mind, here are four takeaways from Frankfurt. The transformation of the curvy yet overbaked Ferrari California T into the Portofino is complete, and its coming-out party in Frankfurt served notice that Ferrari's entry-level sports car is much more formidable. There was nothing wrong with the California (and later the California T), but the Portofino features a cleaner look with stronger lines and an elegant resemblance to the rest of the Ferrari family. The California name is a good one. Used on a number of memorable cars in the 1950s and '60s, it's steeped in tradition, and certainly Ferrari will dust it off again. But switching to Portofino, the name of a scenic town in Italy, is a nice way to change the conversation and generate fresh interest in this part of the Ferrari portfolio. Man, people are stoked over the Honda Urban EV concept. Why? I assume it's the retro look that harks back to early Civics, and the lack of information about the concept itself. What people don't know, they're imagining. Honda hasn't even confirmed the range, the car is very small, and it likely won't be sold in the United States. With this dearth of facts, enthusiasts are filling in their own blanks. I guess that's OK. Count me among the intrigued. When I saw pictures of this thing early Tuesday morning, I was pretty excited, too. We do know Honda is expanding its electric strategy, and two-thirds of its new vehicles sold around the world will have some form of electrification by 2030. The Urban EV launches in Europe in 2019, and a hybrid CR-V rolls out in Europe next year. Unconfirmed for the U.S. market, it seems like a no-brainer to bring that version of the CR-V here. The electrification and autonomous tech parade of concepts continues. You gotta be there. It's the cost of doing business in the modern automotive landscape. This technology takes years to develop and launch, so the next best thing to remind the world you're trying to be cutting-edge is to show off lots of fancy concepts. Frankfurt had plenty. A couple standouts: The BMW I Vision Dynamics and Audi's Elaine and Aicon.
