1995 Audi S6 Avant on 2040-cars
Arlington, Virginia, United States
I am selling my 1995 Audi S6 Avant. If you know anything about the '95 S6 Avant you know there are less than 300 of these on the road in the US currently. I bought it with the intention of fixing it up it but I have the opportunity to buy one of my dream cars so I have to sell the S6 to raise money. I will try to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible.
1995 Audi S6 Avant, black on gray. 153821 miles. 5 speed manual, power seats, windows, mirrors, door locks, etc. The good: Rebuilt front suspension, new Bilstein shocks, lower control arms, upper strut mounts, strut bearings, left outer tie rod end and sway bar bushings. Upgraded igniton system to Apikol coil conversion, car runs well and pulls hard, has MTM stage 1 chip. Front brake pads are pretty new, have lots of life left on them A/C and heat work great, I just replaced the blend door actuator. Clutch has plenty of life, transmission shifts smoothly. Replaced transmission mounts, front axles have been rebuilt recently (have receipts from previous owner on axles) Cylinder head was replaced with a used head with 70k miles on it, have receipts for this too. Locking rear differential is working. Interior is in pretty good shape (minus a sagging headliner) drivers seat has 2 small holes but no rips or tears in bolster. Passenger near perfect No real cracks to speak of either. I have used leatherique on the seats since I've owned it and they are pretty supple now. HID conversion, works great with stock projectors. Bose stereo works and sounds great, surprisingly good for a car of this vintage. Comes with 2 sets of wheels, original 16" Avus wheels and the 18" VW wheels pictured on the car. The VW wheels are a bit bent and the Avus wheels are straight but with no tires. I can include a set of used but good tires on the stock wheels if you wish. Power windows and mirrors work, heated front and rear seats work with the exception of the drivers seat. Have flushed the brake and clutch systems since I've owned it as well as the cooling system. Engine is strong and the turbo makes a lot of boost, its really a blast to drive, especially in its current condition, its quite a sleeper. I get about 18mpg driving it moderately in some stop and go traffic, so its even pretty efficient for what it is. The Not So Good: Obviously, it needs a paint job, but there is no rust on the vehicle so there is that as a plus. Lower door trim pieces need replacing, parts can be had for about $50 here on ebay. Drivers heated seat and power seat does not work. Has 4 different memory settings that work and cover a wide range of seating positions, so I have been able to find a comfortable seating position without the side control working. I will try to resolve this issue before the vehicle is sold. The input shaft seal is leaking on the transmission, I have the part just have not had a chance to install it yet. I can install it if you'd like for a nominal fee, I also have the rear main seal I was going to do at the same time, not sure if it's leaking too, but I like to cover all bases. The leak isn't terrible, I checked the fluid level and fluid came out of the fill plug after about 3oz of fluid was added, so it's not too severe, no clutch slippage. As stated above the headliner is sagging and could use re-gluing. Front bumper is damaged, I am going to try and fix it best I can before the sale, one of the supports is broken behind where the lower grille sits (center and left side grilles are needed as they are broken, can be had here on ebay for not much money at all) I will try to fabricate some sort of bracket to secure it. Right rear caliper was seized when I got the car, I have since freed it but the pads need to be changed in the rears due to uneven wear. I can include an OEM pad set if wanted. Overall the car is in pretty good mechanical shape, but could some cosmetic restoration. I would really love to keep this as a project car, but it needs to go so I can take advantage of this opportunity to buy the car I've wanted for while. As you can see the title says it exceeds mechanical limits on the odometer. This box was checked by mistake by the previous owner... The odometer is digital and as you can see from the history report, the mileage is all in order, not sure why he didn't fix this before he titled it. I've tried to describe it as accurately as possible, I'm sure I'm forgetting something so please don't hesitate to email me with questions, offers, setup a test drive, anything. Make me a good enough offer and I will end the auction early as I need it gone fast. If you meet my buy it now price I will fix the input shaft seal leak, throw some tires on the stock wheels and include a set of 18 inch Avus wheels (from a 2002 S6) with good Michelin PS2s for free. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

2018 Audi A8 spied with light camo, lots of Prologue touches
Fri, May 13 2016It's been a big week for Audi A8 news. First tech boss Dr. Stefan Knirsch hinted at a range-topping rival to the Mercedes-Maybach S600, and just yesterday CEO Rupert Stadler confirmed that the next-gen car would be the first Audi with autonomous driving systems. Now we have our first pictures of the new large sedan, which will be based on the VW Group's MSB platform. As expected, the 2018 A8 will take cues directly from the Audi Prologue concept, a large coupe that was first shown at the 2015 LA Auto Show. This new A8 is completely devoid of cladding, giving us a great look at its production-ready shape. We can see the Q7's strong influence on the design, especially in front. The fascia is home to a wide hexagonal grille and aggressively canted headlights. The taillights will likely be a similar shape to the Q7's, but the LED pattern is dramatically different – we can almost see individual elements on this A8, whereas the Q7 is more of a light-ribbon design. Overall, this is an attractive if somewhat anonymous look. Our spies couldn't capture any shots of the cabin, but we do expect it to resemble the concept interior Audi showed earlier this year at CES, which featured an evolved version of the Virtual Cockpit system called Virtual Dashboard. Not surprisingly, it looks like there's going to be a lot of room in the back seats. While Rupert Stadler confirmed the next A8 will debut in 2017, he didn't go as far as saying which auto show to expect it at. At this point, Geneva seems like a prime candidate. Related Video:
Audi perfecting drool-worthy RS3 hot hatch
Fri, Apr 25 2014A sure-fire way of adding excitement to any Audi is removing the "A" from its model name and replacing it with "RS." Take the RS4, RS5, RS6 and RS7 as proof of this fact. Of course, the transformation from "A" to "RS" wouldn't be complete with a huge bump in power, a far more sporting suspension, enhanced brakes and a more aggressive styling treatment. That process appears to be well underway with the next RS3, which has once again been spotted testing in Germany. The larger wheels (the styles are mismatched, but the sizes look similar) are a good giveaway, as are the larger brakes and more aggressive front bumper, which sports larger intakes. The rear bumper has been modified, although we can't quite tell if the RS line's tell-tale oval exhausts have been fitted. In the past, the RS3 mules we've heard have boasted the distinctive exhaust note of a five-cylinder engine. This particular car, though, has a more conventional exhaust note, of the sort you'd expect from a high-powered four-cylinder. Expect around 400 horsepower and Quattro all-wheel drive, with power distributed likely through some form of S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission. Take a look up top for our gallery of spy shots, and keep an eye open for the RS3 in October, when it's expected to debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
