Shipping and payment: Cash or Cashier's Check. Buyer to arrange for pick-up/delivery. Vehicle located in Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, two hours from DC or Richmond; six hours from NYC.

History: Bought vehicle from a dealer in northern Virginia in September 2009, with 35K miles. One prior owner. Had it ever since (5+ years). Even though it is an AWD Quattro, it never has been out in snow or ice. One minor accident involving front passenger fender area. Repairs made. Always has been garage stored. Two things to know about the history: (1) History shows frame/unibody damage - prior to my purchase. In fact, the report of the damage was not made till five months after my purchase. Inspection I commissioned indicated that the damage was fully repaired - and, there have been no issues with this during my ownership. (2) History shows two odometer issues - on AutoCheck, not CarFax. One before I purchased vehicle and one recently. The first is clearly a clerical error - mileage was 34,549 in Aug 2009 and then reported at 39,549 in Sept 2009 - the 4 clearly was misread as a 9. Then, I purchased it at 35K and that made things look like a rollback. Since this would be a crime, AutoCheck should have pursued the matter with law enforcement authorities or confirmed the accuracy of the Sept 2009 report; it did neither. The car was on a lot and did not likely get driven exactly 5,000 miles in 30 days on a lot. Common sense.... The second shows mileage at 129K, but I have complete records from date of purchase through today that shows mileage. It's at 76,725 as of this afternoon and five more miles to get home. 76,730 right now in my garage. Someone entered mileage from another car, not this one. So, what all this means is that the history shows these situations and this has a severe impact on the value for trade with a dealer. But, these things do not affect the quality of this vehicle. The price reflects a deep discount (of $5,000+) due to all this.

Features: Just about as fully equipped as this model could be in 2005. Premium Package.

Condition: The vehicle body is in very good condition. The paint is still shines like new but there are a few areas where it's flaked. Some road chip mark in front. Minor paint issues. The interior is in excellent condition. Engine is in excellent shape. Exhaust system excellent. Pipes are excellent. Needs a new airbag sensor for passenger seat. $300. Price also reflects this expense. With that, you would have a car that still turns heads. Will send you photos if you're seriously interested. And, will answer any questions you have.

Without the history issues and the airbag sensor replacement needed, this vehicle merits a pricing at $16,500 - $17,000. To make it attractive to someone who would love to enjoy this car, I am discounting it $6,000+ for the history issues and $500 for the airbag sensor replacement. The price is $10,500. Won't find one like it for that.

Audi A3 outselling Mercedes CLA 2 to 1 in its first 3 months on sale

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

The Audi A3 is on fire in US showrooms. Not literally of course, that would be horrible, and the situation we're referring to is a good thing indeed, as the Four Rings has a serious hit on its hands with the compact luxury sedan. Looking at just its first three months on the market, the entry-level model is outselling the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class by nearly two to one.
The CLA was one of the hottest new cars of last year. Mercedes even called it the company's best launch in 20 years, but it sees as if that early sales performance has not been sustainable. According to Bloomberg, the CLA has seen its sales drop year-over-year in seven of the last eight months, and the new A3 came at just the right time to fill that void.
In June, Mercedes shifted 1,658 CLAs in the US, compared to 2,452 for the A3. The Merc has sold more units so far this year but only because the Audi sedan has only been on sale for three full months. With the two cars being relatively comparable as compact, front-wheel-drive, German luxury sedans, it appears buyers prefer the Four Rings over the Mercedes star, so far at least.

Audi Q7 to be first diesel plug-in from VW group

Sun, Dec 7 2014

Lending credence to prior reports, the next Audi Q7 will be available with a diesel-powered, plug-in-hybrid powertrain, Automotive News claims, after speaking to a source in the Volkswagen Group. Both the gas and diesel-powered Q7 will debut in 2015, with the diesel PHV to arrive after that. Unlike Europe's other plug-in diesel, the Volvo V60, Audi's Q7 will be sold on both sides of the Atlantic, the source told AN. You can see a few spy photos of the Q7 PHV above. Audi research and development boss Ulrich Hackenberg previously confirmed that diesel plug-ins would be arriving earlier this year, although it wasn't clear which models the ultra-efficient powertrains would be offered on, or which of those would be offered here in the US. Time to play the waiting game...

Audi's 2025 goal for 25% EV sales? It's already happening

Sat, Dec 12 2015

We were pleasantly surprised by Audi's full-throated support for plug-in vehicles at the recent Los Angeles Auto Show. That support took the form of the surprising claim that between 20 and 25 percent of new Audis sold will have a plug by 2025. The encouraging electric love fest continues in a new press release that's all about the brand's European sales. Now, US sales of the A3 E-Tron will start at some point in the next two months, so we don't know how the excellent plug-in hatch will fare here but as you can see, things are going extremely well in Europe: A year after its market introduction, the sales figures for the Audi A3 e-tron are also extremely encouraging: In Western Europe, it conquered top spot among the electric cars in the premium compact segment over the past few months. In Norway and the Netherlands one in four Audi customers is already opting for an A3 e-tron. So, after being available for 12 months across the pond, the numbers are impressive. Perhaps Audi of America CEO Scott Keogh knew that the 25 percent threshold is already a reality in two countries when he spoke to us in LA. In any case, Audi's got something to point to today when people ask if selling 25 percent of its cars as EVs is possible. If you'd like to add your dollars to Audi's plug-in sales figures, the A3 E-Tron's configurator is live. AUDI AG: European sales up six percent in November Audi remains on track: With around 147,750 deliveries (+1%) in November, the company reaffirmed its strong sales result from the prior-year month. In Europe, the Ingolstadt-based carmaker increased sales by 6 percent to around 62,300 units, despite the model changeover for its bestseller, the Audi A4. Since the start of the year, more than 1.64 million customers worldwide have chosen the brand with the four rings, up 3.4 percent. "In light of extraordinary effects in China and the model phase-out for the first-generation Q7 in the United States, we are satisfied with our sales performance in November," says Dietmar Voggenreiter, Member of the Board of Management for Sales and Marketing at AUDI AG. "The sustained high demand for Audi models in Europe and our good global order situation continue to provide momentum for the months ahead." Most recently, the brand's growth in Europe was driven particularly by the latest models: Sales of the Audi Q7, with the latest generation launched in summer, quadrupled to around 3,300 units in November.
