2005 Audi A8l W 12 on 2040-cars
San Rafael, California, United States
|
I purchased this rare car in October 2012 from the original owner who first leased it through his company and then bought it personally so he could continue driving it. The only damage he had was caused by a piece of wood that flipped up and slightly dented the front hood which was repaired perfectly before I bought it. It has been serviced throughout by Sonnen Audi of Marin by both the original owner and myself. Any enquiries can be directed to Gene Frank of Sonnen Audi. This car has everything including a Valentine 360 Radar Detector installed. The owner spent another $8,500.00 to bring the purchase price up to $126,555 in July 2005 by adding a Full Leather Upgrade, Adaptive Cruise Control, 20" wheels (instead of 19"), a solar sunroof to power the twin fans to keep the interior cool in summer and XM Satellite radio. It has blue tooth to connect your phone for calls. All I added was an I-Phone dock to charge the I-Phone and play my music, although the car also has a 6 disc CD player which sounds great o the Bose sound system. It also has a 6 disc DVD player for movies shown on the 2 screens on the rear of the front head rests. Remote control and 2 headsets included. Great for kids. I had Sonnen Audi carry out a "105 Point pre-Owned Inspection" when I bought it and it passed all items. I bought a "Platinum" Level Audi Pure Protection Policy from Sonnen Audi good to October 2014. I have had the car serviced at Audi and had only 2 minor problems. The rear drivers side door locking button and the trunk power closing, all fixed under the warranty. Nothing major and the car has driven like new with no problems. The current M&S tires on the car have good tread left and I also have a spare set of summer tires included in the price which are almost brand new. The car has always been garaged at home and also is parked in a covered garage at work so the paint and leather are still looking like new. Special things I like are the heated and ventilated seats and the drive to car computer interface monitor (voice control) which I use mainly to change music when driving. It is a very special car and the new owner will be a very happy person to be seen driving this car around town.

Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
Audi reveals next-gen TT interior at CES
Tue, 07 Jan 2014Audi has taken the somewhat unusual step of unveiling much of the interior of its upcoming TT Coupe at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. That's unusual, because they haven't shown us the car yet. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised - with the proliferation of technology in automobiles these days, it's probably time we start considering them as much electronic devices as transportation devices.
While Audi has long been recognized as a leader in interior design, this new TT features an instrument cluster that is wildly different from what we've become accustomed to from the Four-Ring brand. Audi is calling its fully digital system a "virtual cockpit," and with its 12.3-inch LCD screen situated directly in front of the driver, it does away with the company's traditional Multi-Media Interface (MMI) display in the center stack. Two modes are offered, one classic option with large gauges and another more oriented to infotainment.
Besides electronics, the actual hard parts of the interior also show plenty of new thinking. With the removal of the central screen, Audi has been able to streamline its instrument panel to resemble a wing of sorts, with jet-like HVAC vents that house their own controls. Two more points for controls are presented to the driver, with buttons on the flat-bottom steering wheel and another set on the center tunnel.
VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
