The previous owner had rear ended someone causing the damage that can be seen to the front end of the vehicle. I purchased the car with the intentions of repairing it for my wife. Now we are having to deal with courts in a custody battle with her ex to assure the safety and well being of our daughter so, the car must go. As I said, the car runs and drives well. The motor mounts could use replacing and I was going to go ahead and do all the maintenance, such as new belts and fluids, to assure its all done and up to standard as I have no idea the last time anything was performed. I would recommend the same to the new owner. The brakes have about half their life remaining. Three of the four tires need to be replaced. The spare is a full sized, matching wheel spare but, the tire on it was obviously a match for the other three and didn't survive. I would assume the only time worth keeping was the spare to begin with. So, a new set of tires is in order. The interior is clean and everything works properly but there are some things on the dash that need to be replaced. For example, the ash tray and little storage tray are broken and need to be replaced. The glove box hinges are broken. Audi has a repair kit for this issue and it is a known problem. The seat bottoms on the front seat have cracks and tears. I was going to put on seat covers or have them repaired. I hadn't decided yet. Beyond that, its pretty nice inside. The body is fairly straight. The driver's side rear door does have a dent, which can be seen in the pictures, that I am pretty sure can be popped out if you pull the door panel and push on it from the inside. There isn't a crease so it should straighten out fairly well. Some heat and some massaging and it should look pretty smooth. The hood is obviously damaged. I was going to hammer it as straight as possible, smooth it over with filler and sanding, and them prime it only as needed to protect it and then wrap it in carbon fiber wrap. I have already purchased the wrap. The grills, all four, need to be replaced. There are some really nice after-market grills that I was going to purchase that would look really sharp. The mounting tabs for the headlights were cracked so the headlight housings need to be replaced. I was going to take this opportunity to upgrade to HID lighting. If you prefer to go cheaper you can just replace the housings and stay with the projectors which are plenty bright. The upper radiator support does need to be replaced as well as the fan / shroud assembly. The a/c condenser was punctured in the accident and needs to be replaced and the system will need to be recharged. This is all that I can think of at the moment. I am trying to be as up front and forward as possible. I figured this is a great opportunity to obtain a really nice car at a fraction of the price. Plus, you get to put your personal touches on it as you build it. Every vehicle we purchase, this is how I go about it and we come out ahead every time. We buy it needing repairs, such as this Audi A4, repair it, have the title converted back to a blue title, drive it for a few years, and then sell it for a profit. Even when we have had a car totaled in a hail storm, which has happened twice now, we have received more than we paid for it or had it all together. If you have any questions or would like to see any additional pictures please let me know. |

2014 Audi SQ5
Thu, 24 Jul 2014It may be obvious at this point, but here in the United States, European manufacturer routinely give us the short end of the stick. Now, I'm not talking about models or brands that don't come here, like the Mercedes-Benz A-Class or the entire Renault line. No, instead, I'm referring to cars that are sold right here in the Land of the Free in one bodystyle, while Europe enjoys the same vehicle with a wider variety of configurations.
A prime example of this is the Audi S4/S5 line. In America, we can have the supercharged twins in two-door coupe, four-door sedan, and cabriolet body styles. Meanwhile, our Euroland cousins get the same trio of bodystyles, as well as the A5/S5 Sportback, a characterful 'four-door coupe,' and a versatile hauler, the S4 Avant. At first glance, Audi of America lacks a vehicle that can compete with the latter's blend of performance, versatility and subdued looks. So, what's an American with around $60,000 and an obsession with quick, conservative haulers to do? Well, he can buy an SQ5. (Though it bears mentioning, our US-spec SQ5 is vastly different than what's available to our European friends.)
The SQ5 has a huge number of things going for it that make it a viable alternative to a proper hot wagon, and foremost among them are its looks - this is a sleeper. Audi has thankfully decided not to molest the clean looks of the standard Q5 when penning the sportier model.
Audi R8 V10 gets tuned up by ABT
Mon, 20 May 2013Bavarian tuners ABT have done another job on the Audi R8 V10, pumping up the 5.2-liter FSI V10 from 525 horsepower to 600 hp, and torque from 391 pound-feet to 406 lb-ft. With 50 more horsepower than the R8 V10 Plus - but not the extreme weight-loss scheme - ABT claims a 0-62 mile per hour run of 3.5 seconds, the same as the R8 V10 Plus, and a top speed for the mid-engined coupe of 198 miles per hour "is no problem at all."
Managing all that speed are the aero tweaks provided by a comprehensive body kit including a rear wing, a lowered and beefed-up suspension, a stainless steel exhaust and 19-inch wheels in two different designs.
The press release below has a few more bits of info on the matter. And while ABT hasn't put a price on the Audi upgrades, but it's safe to say that nearly 200 mph in an R8 won't come cheap.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
