For more details, please do not hesitate to call me at 419-701-4730. This vehicle was purchased by me in November of 2013. The vehicle was involved in a flood, and water came up to under the seats; damaging a lot of the electrical components, locking the seat in place, etc. The vehicle, when shipped to me from Florida, was completely drivable, albeit for the driver's seat locked in the "all the way back" position. I purchased and replaced the driver's seat, and have been driving the car since.

The car really is fantastic. I ended up purchasing a new set of wheels/tires for the winter, which will also be included. The wheels are from TireRack. I cannot link them directly, but they are: 18x8 Black Painted MSW Type 19 and the tires themselves are Blizzak WS70s. The wheels/tires are obviously very new, and cost ~1200$ last December.


The following items are still in need of replacement/repair/troubleshooting. The parts themselves are typically not expensive (the most expensive being the passenger seat, at ~500 online)
1) Passenger seat. The seat is about 1/2 way back currently, allowing for passengers to sit comfortably, assuming they're not too tall. My wife sits in it fine, and she's 5'6". The seat will need removed, wiring under the seat cleaned up, and new seat installed.
2) Electrical system troubleshooting: Currently, only the driver's side window works. Further electrical troubleshooting would be needed to get the other windows functional.
3) MMI is currently non functional. The amp in the trunk was damaged in the flood, and replaced. However, the MMI controls themselves are all dark; my assumption is they got wet in the flood. The screen is high up enough to have been spared in the flood, but the MMI controls/associated electrical components may have been hit. 
4) Passenger side seat belt. The seat belt itself is fine, but the retraction mechanism got wet, and now it no longer wants to retract. I have purchased a replacement seat belt unit, and will be including it in the car.
5) There is a CEL related to misfire on Cylinder 5; in researching it, there looks to be an Audi-ECU flash that fixes the problem in 2012 model year vehicles. However, due to no warranty, I cannot get the flash, at least for free. My original, long term plan was to purchase GoAPR's ECU tune for the car, but for right now the CEL is active.
6) Parking Brake Light: This is related to the "Parking Brake ECU" that is located under the passenger's seat, and/or the parking brake switch/button on the center console.
7) TPMS alert: This is related to the fact I swapped out wheels/tires during the winter, and was unable to reset the TPMS via the non-functional MMI. TPMS in these cars is sensor-less, so there are no sensors in the rims themselves, they just need to be reset in the MMI.
8) Airbag light: This is related to the airbag sensors in the passenger seat.

One thing I will stress is the unknown; these are what I know is wrong with the vehicle. Being a flood/salvage/rebuilt title car, I hold no responsibility to what else might be damaged, or needing repair. I've been daily-driving the car for the last several months, and I see no issues outside of what's been noted, but the "Buyer Beware" should be obvious. I will be happy to share any and all information I have; just give me a call and I can go over what's-what with the car. 

As for financing the vehicle, from my experience anyway, I had no issue getting a used car loan for it. That said, I am paying off the lien with this sale, and will obviously process and ship out the title ASAP. Please do your due diligence if you plan to finance it; for me, I simply did one of the "check ready" car loans from PNC, and they never even asked/cared about the Rebuilt Title. Geico, likewise, made no note of it. The vehicle is priced well under the KBB value, so loans should be fairly flexible, if you decide to go that route.


The original seller's remarks on the car are here. Obviously the mileage has changed. The vehicle was sold from a dealer who purchased it in auction, so he was not the original owner of the vehicle.

2015 Audi A3

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

The five-door Audi A3 hatchback, on sale in the States since the 2006 model year, never earned the respect it deserved. Despite possessing the automaker's well-regarded build quality and a range of strong powerplants (including an excellent diesel option), the entry-level model always played second fiddle to the rest of the Audi lineup, suffering from less innovative technologies and fewer premium options on its list. Many buyers considered it inferior to the rest of the models in the company's showroom. But those misconceptions could be about to change, as Audi is in the midst of introducing its third-generation A3 family to the States with expectations that the range will finally align with the rest of its portfolio.
First to arrive is this new sedan, notable as it is the first time the A3 has been offered as a compact four door. The new bodystyle is positioned as a premium C-segment offering, with its most obvious competitor being the new Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class (BMW has not officially announced a 2 Series Gran Coupe, which would be the third entrant in the segment). The automaker says its "A3/S3 models will be among the most technically advanced Audi products around" and there will be "no sacrificing Audi craftsmanship and premium appointments." To put the automaker's claims to the test, we spent a week with this new sedan in Southern California.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

Next Audi R8 seen and heard in this spy video

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

A few weeks ago, our clandestine spy photographers brought home the first good look at the next-generation Audi R8. We were all pretty stoked.
Seemingly following the game plan of the recently shown Audi TT, the next R8 looks to be an evolutionary update on a supercar form that pretty much everyone loves.
Today, the same shooters that snapped the car in stills have delivered some pretty compelling moving pictures of the thing. Captured both in some less-than-inspiring around-town traffic situations and out on the Nürburgring, the video delivers our first taste of the new R8's auditory splendor. Well... a taste of it, anyway.
