2009 Audi A4 Cabrio For sale! Quite possibly the most ill conceived car on the planet. “Buy a German convertible!” they said. “It’ll be fun!” they said. Not so much… I bought the car in April 2011 with 32K on it. I’ve put about 12K on it in two and a half years. - Power top currently NOT working. - Dual zone A/C - Power seats (passenger seat does NOT go back and forth, but all other functions work) - 2.0L Turbo, CVT transmission (also shifts as a 7-speed manual in Sport mode) - 6-disc changer with iPod dock - Power windows, cruise, tilt/tele, leather, etc. - Premium wheels - New(er) tires (less than 10K on them) THE GOOD:
The car is an absolute joy to drive.
It’s quick, nimble, and feels planted to the road. The 2.0 liter is not powerful (200 HP), but
the turbo boost is a kick in the pants especially when the shifter is in sport
mode. Great sound system with factory
subwoofer, 6-disc changer, and iPod dock.
Leather seats, snug interior. The
driver’s seat is a nice place to be as the seats are supportive, the driver’s
position very good, instruments easy to read and very well lit. The heating and air conditioning system are
very, very good, which is important in a convertible as they are hard to cool
with the top up. Tires are very good and
have less then 10K on them, Audi premium wheels. Full size spare with matching premium wheel. THE BAD: It’s an abysmal car in many ways. Sure, it’s a convertible! Isn’t that cool? But currently, the power top doesn’t work. AGAIN. The first time, the brushes and commutator segments on the hydraulic pump were worn. Had that fixed. This time, the light blinks on the dashboard ten times, and nothing. Sure, you can fold it down manually (if you can bench press 300 pounds and hold mechanical engineering and physics degrees). You’ll even teach yourself some new curse words while you do it! The power seat on the passenger side doesn’t go backwards and forwards (it hasn’t worked since I owned the car). The wind noise is horrific with the top up. Rear visibility is atrocious; I’ve almost run over several pedestrians trying to back the car out of parking places. The stereo sounds great, but lacks Bluetooth streaming for audio and the iPod controls are from the 19th century. The stereo has iPhone connectivity through Bluetooth, although your friends and family will constant scream “Pick up the phone, I can hear you in that stupid car!” Back seats are useless. Trunk is the size of a Tylenol. The seatbelt and key-in-ignition chime is so loud and obnoxious you’ll want to go deaf so you never have to hear it again. Carfax will show a recent front impact. But trust me, it wasn’t an impact. The damned car is juuuuust the right height to get stuck on concrete parking bumpers. I hung it up on one last year, and when I backed the car from the space, it ripped the front bumper cap off of the car and broke the radiator supports and one headlight. At about two miles an hour!! So it wasn’t an impact, but an expensive brain fart on my part. $2500 worth, to be exact. Repairs were professionally done. The opening bid is 8601.30, which is EXACTLY what I owe on it plus the expected eBay fees. I really want it gone. I just moved into a new house and am down to a two car garage. I don’t drive it, it’s taking up space in the garage, and my daily driver is outside in the cold and rain. If you want to make a serious offer for a buy it now price, email me when we are down to two days to go on the auction. Don’t get me wrong. I believe the car is good mechanically. It gets okay gas mileage (about 25 combined) and is very dependable. But I just don’t get German cars. They are complicated, maintenance is expensive, and while I’ve never thought that the car would leave me stranded, I don’t trust it as far as I can throw it with things such as the power top and accessories. If you’re willing to take a risk and are mechanically inclined, or want to fix and flip it to make a few bucks, this is your car. If you want it for a daily driver and think having a convertible will be a “hoot,” do yourself a favor and hit the “back” button and go buy a Toyota. Since I owe money on it: contact me if you are a serious bidder and we’ll work out how to pay it off and get your title to you. I’ve never sold one this way, but it can’t be too hard. It’s financed through Navy Federal; if you live near one you can pay them directly with my bill of sale and they’ll send the title to you. eMail with any questions. Sale is final. If it falls apart as you pull out of my driveway, you own it. However, you’ll see I’ve been on eBay for well over 10 years, have 500+ 100 percent positive feedback, and will be straight up honest with you. Come look at it, drive it, whatever is fine. I’m a 50-year old engineer, the only driver, and the car has been well maintained and not ragged on. But I refuse to put another dime into it, so it’s a great opportunity to get it cheap if you’re willing to put a few bucks into it to get the top working. |

2016 Audi RS7 Performance is an LA beauty in blue
Fri, Nov 20 2015The whole point of the new 2016 Audi RS7 Performance is directly in its name, and the Four Rings now claims 605 horsepower from its 4.0-liter twin turbo V8. For those keeping track of big-brother bragging rights, Audi claims 560 hp from the standard RS7. Plus, the engine's torque can jump from 516 pound-feet to 553 lb-ft during the temporary overboost function. An eight-speed automatic gearbox still sends power to the front and rear through the Quattro all-wheel drive system. The results of all these upgrades are a sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph. The RS7 Performance is about more than just power; Audi also fits carbon ceramic brakes and an RS Sport Suspension with Dynamic Ride Control. The exterior also sees some minor tweaks that include a restyled rear diffuser, new 21-inch wheels, black tailpipes, and a gloss black grille. RS sport seats come standard inside. The RS7 Performance arrives at Audi dealers in December and prices start at $129,925 (after $925 for destination). Get a good look at this very quick, fastback sedan in the gallery above.

The Audi RS 6 Avant performance* and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance* further hone the brand's sporty profile. Their 4.0 TFSI engine with 445 kW (605 hp) and up to 750 Nm (553.2 lb ft) of torque push acceleration (3.7 seconds) nearly to levels usually reserved for supercars. Fuel consumption remains unchanged at 9.6 and 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers (24.5 and 24.8 US mpg), respectively, corresponding to 223 and 221 g CO2 per km (358.9 and 355.7 g/mi). These are best-in-segment figures. The new Audi RS 6 Avant performance and the new Audi RS 7 Sportback performance offer more power output than ever before. The 4.0 TFSI now produces 445 kW (605 hp) and maximum torque of 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft). A particular highlight of the engine is an overboost function allowing the driver to temporarily draw on up to 750 Nm (553.2 lb-ft).

2017 Audi Q7 starts at $55,750
Thu, Nov 12 2015The second-generation Audi Q7 debuted last winter, and we already drove it in the spring in Europe. Audi, however, kept US pricing for this lighter, more stylish luxury SUV a secret – until now. The 2017 Q7 starts at $55,750 (including the $950-destination charge), and that's over $6,500 more than the $49,225-base cost for the last-gen 2015 model (there was no 2016 version in the US). Buyers get some big updates when they pay the extra cash for the 2017 model. The switch to the MLB platform helps cut 475 pounds, and aluminum suspension components reduce unsprung mass. Audi's Pre Sense City safety system comes standard and can automatically begin braking the seven-passenger SUV if a crash seems imminent below 52 miles per hour. Three-zone automatic climate control and a panoramic sunroof are also on the normal features list. The options include high-tech upgrades like the company's virtual cockpit system, a color head-up display, and a 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo. Audi's 3.0 TFSI V6 with 333 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque and an eight-speed automatic is the only available powertrain combo for the Q7 in the US. Audi originally planned to offer the 3.0-liter TDI V6, but emissions problems nixed that. The second-gen Q7 is available in three trim levels here: Premium, Premium Plus for $59,750, and Prestige for $65,250. Company spokesperson Amelia Fine-Morrison tells Autoblog the first 2017s will arrive at dealers in January. Audi of America announces pricing for the new dynamic and technological benchmark in the luxury SUV segment – the all-new 2017 Audi Q7 November 11, 2015 | HERNDON, Virginia New portfolio of available driver assistance systems includes adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist to help take the stress out of stop and go traffic Sport sedan-like driving experience and space for up to seven passengers, latest technology and exceptional design are just some of the highlights of the all-new Audi Q7, on sale at the beginning of 2016 SUV boasts innovative suite of technologies and connectivity features, including Audi virtual cockpit, Q7 specific app for Android and Apple integration as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration With striking design and lightweight construction, the all-new 2017 Audi Q7 sets a new standard in the luxury SUV segment. The second generation of the seven-passenger SUV also adds benchmark connectivity, infotainment systems and driver assistance technologies.
