2011 Audi S5, V8, 6 Speed Manual, Less Then 14k Miles! on 2040-cars

For those who have been watching my auctions this year, you know I'm in the process of reducing my car horde. I have a 3 year old son, and a daughter coming in just a few weeks. Plus we picked this fantastic time to move to Northern Michigan. So space and time are at a premium, and some things have to go. I've already sold off a 71 MG, my Scion XB, and a Toyota Truck. This go around, I'm selling one of my projects. I had hoped to keep this one, but I recently made a great deal on a 67 Camaro with a 454, so I'd rather have the parking space for that thing. I purchased this 2 years ago, and had planned on building it up to be my highway car for driving between Detroit and Traverse. As you may realize, I love my car's, and the idea of a nice big V8, that has AWD, and an amazing interior............sounds like a good thing.


If you don't know about the S5, here's a quick lesson. Its the GT version of a A5, which is a 2 door version of an A4. American's thing GT means Ford dumped a bunch of money into a crappy production car. It really means Grand Tourer. Overseas, they build high horsepower cars for long drives. Its ment to be very comfortable, able to go long distances, and pass a guy in a mini van towing a camper as if they were parked. Its not about smoking tires from red lights.


All that said, the lovely world governments have restricted emissions, so now, the S5, is a turbo car. Makes similar power as these, but in my opinon, the V8 is where its at. This is the last year for the big V8 in the S model's. You can get them in the RS, but thats another 20K. The one has just under 14K on it, and sounds wonderful. I planned to do a new exhaust and open up those airways, but it never happened


Obviously, car has some damage. I own classics, and new cars. NONE of my cars are stock. Even my wifes Subaru Outback has a WRX Suspension and Black rims on it. I just can't leave cars stock. So rather then gut a perfectly good car, I happened upon this car at an auction. Very minimal damage. You can see from the pics, no frame damage, no impact damage, etc. If you look at the pics, you'll see the aluminum from bumper brace. Essentially the real bumper behind the plastic valance. Its not dented up or damaged, I planed to re-use it when I put it back together. The story we got, car was Booted for being parked illegally. Owner was having some beverages....comes out gets in the car, shouldn't be driving. Decides to take off with the boot on the car. The boot tore up the passenger side fender, hood, front bumper, etc, and of course the slamming up and down tripped the air bags in the dash.


The dents in the hood now are mostly from us ratch strapping the hood down. The car needs the passenger side wire harness (runs the headlights, fans, abs, etc NOT the motor harness) It needs the grill inserts for the front bumper, a new radiator, a hood, the passenger side engine harness and some odds and ends. Car's 80% done, just needs to be finished.


Windshield is new, OEM glass, Yes the door glass is good, I just leave the windows down in case the battery dies. There's no key hole in the door! I locked it and had windows up, that was a pain to get into. As you see, I have the headlights (yes they have the HID Balasts on them) the tail lights, etc etc. The dash is brand new, thats the only way to do the bags in this car. Its actually one giant molded piece. And the reason the windshield had to be done, actually, the bags didn't break the glass!! We had to take the windshield out to get the dash in and out. I pulled the rear taillights and rear bumper to fix a small ding by the back drivers side tail light. Wasn't damage from an accident, I just figured I might as well fix the ding while I was at the rest of the car. Passenger side fender is an OEM A5 fender that happened to be painted the right color. Drivers side is an OEM Audi Fender.
The wheels and tires are brand new. They have 0 miles on them. The wheels are replica R8 20in wheels, and the tires are brand new Khumo Escta's. Like I said, I planned to do some subtle upgrades to this car. My plan was to do the car with no badges, and a solid black grill in front. The 20's fill in the wheel wells very nice.


Car runs and drives just fine. Its been a couple years, but we took it up and down the road when we first got it. And if you watch the video, you'll see it starts up just fine. I just know its going to sit at least another year if it stays in my garage, and I know this will make someone a fantastic car at WAY less then the 50K these are still going for. I can't speak to other states. In Michigan, the title is very easy to restore. We book an apt with a cop who does road inspections. The check the blinkers, walk the car, etc etc, and give you a form saying its ready to go. Take that and the title to the Sec of State, and they give you a new title. My understanding is, this can be rebuilt in any state. But you'll want to check that with your state.


TERMS - Simple, this is a no reserve auction. No I won't take a cash offer. No I won't sell it for 2 mules and your 93 duster. You win the bid, you bought it. If you want to see it, email me and I can set up a time for you to see it. CASH ONLY. If bidding from out of state, figure out your funds. No bank loans, no checks, etc etc. I'm happy to work with a shipper, but I'm only available for pick up 9am-7pm Monday to Friday.


Let me know if there are any other questions, and I'll do my best to answer them.
