 I am selling my beloved Audi Allroad.  I love this car.  I live in Mammoth Lakes, CA.  This has been my "snow car" for 6 years now.  I purchased it in 2007.  After doing much research, I watched a video from Germany, where all the manufacturers raced their vehicles up a steep ski run.  The Allroad was the only vehicle to make it to the top.  I was sold on it.  It hasn't disappointed. 

I got a great deal on a Subaru Outback last July, and haven't been driving the Allroad much lately.  I also have a truck.  We simply don't need 3 vehicles, and I'm sick of paying the insurance and registration, so the Audi must go.

Condition:  Trying to be objective, I think this car is in pretty good shape for a 10-year old car with 90k miles on it.  I've always changed the oil every 3k miles and done the routine maintenance.  I stick the maintenance records in the glove box.  Might need a new air filter soon.  I might have a spare one lying around.  If I do, I'll throw it in.  I also have two sets of floor mats (all-weather and regular).  I'll include both.  Again, it has been in a snow town, so there are scratches and normal wear and tear all over.  The pics show a dirty car, as it just snowed.  A couple years ago, a snow removal vehicle hit my rear driver side door.  It was replaced under insurance and has worked perfectly ever since.  My wife was rear-ended at a red light by a drunk driver.  We didn't fix it, as it didn't effect the integrity of the car.  The car is a tank (you should see the damage to the drunk driver's car).  Anyway, the damage is clear in the photos.  Other than that, the leather is in good shape.  The wood trim is in good shape.  Some peeling has occured on the radio portion of the dashboard, and the veneer on the dash-mounted cup holder came off.  There is a very minor oil leak, that we've had since we purchased the car.  The Audi dealer says it's very normal in turbo-charged cars, at the seals.  I've never had to add oil or anything.  Never been an issue.  Just wanted to mention it, because oil is noticeable on the skid plate when it's removed to change the oil.  There is some grime/film over the headlights, but the auto-levelling xenon lights still work great.  CD changer works great, Bose stereo is awesome.  Heated seats are magical.  Car has a lot of power.  Twin Turbo kicks ass.  The snow tires on the car right now still have a decent amount of tread left.  The brakes are great, tons of stopping power.  I have two keys for the car.  The remote lock/unlock feature isn't working on the keys.  The batteries died and need to be replaced.  They might need to be re-programmed (there's some specific instructions on how to do it on the web or at the dealer) - I just put the key in the door to lock/unlock old school style.

Only problems we've ever had have been electrical.  Our local german mechanic has plugged in the diagnostics and re-set, and voila, back to good.  The winshield wiper fluid reservoir has a leak - so the "low wiper fluid" light is constantly on because we don't even deal with it.  We've also had the Tire Pressure Sensor be touchy at times.  Sometimes that light goes on, even with tire pressure is perfect (we've never had the tires lose air at all).  There are two cracks in the windshield (as is common in snow towns from the expanding/contracting from temp changes).  You might wanna put a new windshield on, but we've just let it linger for a couple years.  Also, the gas shocks in the trunk are shot. They cost about $65 to replace.  I'm lazy to do it, because I rarely drive this car anymore, but you'll want to replace those.  Otherwise, you've got to hold the trunk up by hand, and it's heavier than you think!

You can check out a zillion websites for features, etc.  All I've gotta say is, for the price I'm asking, this car is an absolute steal.

History:  I purchased it for $22,000 in 2007 with 36.5k miles on it.  I bought it from a doctor in Boise, ID.  He needed a mini-van for kids, and the car was in immaculate shape.  I flew out to Idaho to buy it.  I wanted the navy blue color and it's pretty rare.  I Had it inspected by the local audi dealer, and they told me it was the cleanest Allroad they'd seen.

Please, please, please, email me with any questions, or request more photos - I want to be completely forthcoming, and am not trying to hide anything. 

Free pickup in Mammoth Lakes, CA - or I will drive it down to Los Angeles area for $300.  I'm also open to other delivery options, let me know if you're interested and let's see what we can work out.

Thanks!!

J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush

Tue, Aug 29 2017

File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.

Audi reveals R8 E-Tron Piloted Driving concept at CES Asia

Mon, May 25 2015

Designed as they are to take the driver out of the equation, you might think that the idea of an autonomous vehicle would seem diametrically opposed to that of a supercar. But Audi disagrees. The German automaker has cooked up a series of "piloted driving" concepts that are increasingly focused on performance, and this could be the ultimate iteration yet. Audi's latest Piloted Driving demonstrator is based on the R8 E-Tron. It's altogether almost identical to the one we saw in Geneva, packing an electric powertrain to deliver 456 horsepower, 679 pound-feet of torque and a 0-62 time of 3.9 seconds. Only in this case, it can do it all on its own, without any driver intervention. To pull that off, Ingolstadt has fitted this show car with an array of sensors, including a new laser scanner, multiple video cameras, ultrasonic sensors and radar transmitters at both ends – all handled by a central "driver assistance control unit." It's the latest in a series of concept cars that has already included a version of the RS7 Sportback designed to lap the racetrack, and the Prologue concept that drove itself to CES. This concept was similarly unveiled at CES Asia, the Eastern counterpart to the tech expo we usually catch in Las Vegas. Just what the point is in engineering (or buying) one of the best-driving cars on the market and then handing over its operation to a computer, we don't quite get. But at least we can rest easy knowing that Audi is not giving up on performance as autonomous tech turns the driver into just another passenger. Related Video: Audi R8 e-tron piloted driving technical concept car 340 kW of power, 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds and a driving range of 450 km (279.6 mi) – Audi has extensively developed its all-electrically powered high-performance R8 e-tron sports car further. The technology study is one of the highlights of CES Asia, and it brings together future technologies – which relate to lightweight design, high-performance drive systems and functions for piloted driving. The Audi R8 e-tron piloted driving concept car is based on the multimaterial Space Frame of the new production R8. A rear car body module made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) integrates the luggage compartment, which extends the frame structure. The walls of the luggage compartment shell are corrugated, so that they can absorb extreme amounts of energy with little material weight in case of a rear-end collision.

Audi says fixing diesel emission problem is simple

Fri, Dec 11 2015

Audi reportedly has a simple repair nearly ready to fix the emissions problem on 85,000 vehicles with the 3.0-liter TDI V6 in the US. "Swift, straightforward and customer-friendly solutions are in discussion," company exec Rupert Stadler told workers in Germany, according to Reuters. In late November, Audi announced that the 3.0 TDI had three previously undisclosed auxiliary emission control devices, including one that was potentially considered a defeat device under US law. At the time, the German automaker claimed it could repair the problem with just a software update. Stadler's statement indicates that just such a simple fix might be on the way. Even before Audi's disclosure of the emission control devices, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation against the 3.0-liter TDI for allegedly having software to defeat emissions tests, and the agency later expanded the scope to any vehicle with the engine from 2009 through 2016. The affected models include the Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne. New diesel versions of these vehicles have a stop-sale. Audi offered owners of affected vehicles the same $1,000 Goodwill Package that parent company VW offered to its affected diesel owners. The money is split up into a $500 gift card and $500 to spend at the Audi dealer. The package also comes with extended roadside assistance. Audi needs to find a solution quickly because it's under a 45-day deadline from the California Air Resources Board to submit a recall plan for the 15,000 vehicles with the 3.0 TDI in the state. The automaker also must include a report on any effects to fuel economy and performance from the proposed repair. Related Video:
